Despite a widely positive critical reception for The Lord of the Rings: <\/em>The Rings of Power<\/em>, <\/em>Amazon’s goliath new fantasy series is floundering on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of just 33% at the time of writing.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the critic score on the popular review-aggregation site is a much more impressive 84%.<\/p>\n So, why the disparity? <\/p>\n The Rings of Power <\/em>may be the latest victim of \u201creview-bombing\u201d \u2013 when bigots flood a show with bad reviews in order to make it seem less appealing or popular. <\/p>\n The JRR Tolkien-inspired series has already been a victim of racist backlash due to its diverse casting.<\/p>\n An Amazon source told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that reviews on its own site are being held 72 hours to \u201chelp weed out trolls\u201d. Though, they later claimed Prime Video implemented this policy this summer across all its shows.<\/p>\n
