Rotten Tomatoes introduced a new "Verified Hot" badge for movies with a Verified Audience Score of 90% or higher to combat review bombing.
The 'Hot' badge is for scores between 60% to 90%, while a 'Stale' badge indicates scores below 60%, adding layers to the scoring system.
Critics and user reviews are treated equally, causing a disparity where professional criticism is overshadowed by unverified user scores, leading to confusion.
Verification measures are only for movies purchased through Fandango, limiting its effectiveness for TV shows and alternative ticketing services.
