It looks like Brie Larsons Captain Marvel isnt going to have to fight trolls alone.

Following a clear trolling attack on the upcoming Marvel movie, which led to a plummeting want to see rating and a comment section filled with sexist vitriol, Rotten Tomatoes is announcing a variety of drastic changes to its movie rating system, some of which have already been rolled out.

The movie rating aggregation site will modernize its audience rating system through a series of product enhancements, with the first phase launching today featuring new functionality for pre-released movies, according to a press release sent to HuffPost on Tuesday.

Fans will no longer be able to leave comments or reviews on a movie prior to its release, the release said. Also, the want to see score is being changed from a percentage to show a raw number of the users interested in a given movie.

The abuse on the Captain Marvel page was first pointed out early last week when some noticed the pre-release comments on it seemed to be largely attacking Larson. A typical comment by those who hadnt seen the movie castigated it as an SJW (social justice warrior) laden, white male hating worthless POS. The reactions apparently were sparked by the actress recent remarks about wanting more inclusivity among those interviewing her about the film.

Star Wars: Episode IX was also reportedly getting review bombed in pre-release comments on the site.

HuffPost monitored the comments on the Captain Marvel page and saw Rotten Tomatoes was removing some of the hateful posts. But eliminating pre-release comments will end the problem.

Rotten Tomatoes expounded on this change in a blog post , saying, Unfortunately, we have seen an uptick in non-constructive input, sometimes bordering on trolling, which we believe is a disservice to our general readership. We have decided that turning off this feature for now is the best course of action.

Once a movie is released, audiences can leave a user rating and comments as they always have, the blog explains.

Changes to the want to see score also seem tailored to combat efforts to tank the movies pre-release reception.

Following the realization that the page was being targeted by trolls, HuffPost noticed the movies want to see score, the percent of people who are interested in a movie, was also being attacked. According to our screenshots, the score went from around 5,000 user ratings, with 78 percent of them interested in seeing the movie on Feb. 19, to more than 45,000 ratings and a want to see percentage dropping to 28 as of Monday.
