While The Dark Knight Rises is coming soon to theaters, the reviews for the film are already being posted and it is overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately, a top critic from Rotten Tomatoes, Eric D. Snider, intentionally posted a bad review, before watching the film to manipulate the score on Rotten Tomatoes. The review has since been removed from Rotten Tomato.
"Snider openly admits he’s intentionally trying to manipulate the Rotten Tomato score system, he admits he hasn’t even really seen the film yet, and he admits to overtly bad intentions — altering the RT score and angering RT community members — while also openly insulting Rotten Tomato members as well. So, some people are bound to start asking, why is he still granted Top Critic status on Rotten Tomatoes? And now that he’s rather obviously admitted to bias and bad intentions, does that change how trustworthy his reviews are in the eyes of the public and — more to the point — in the eyes of Rotten Tomatoes?"
