Citing "unusual voting activity," the film reference site says it's applying "alternate weighting calculation" to friendly portrait of polarizing COVID czar "to preserve the reliability of our rating system."
ocumentary film tracking Dr. Anthony Fauci's medical career from the AIDS crisis to COVID-19, is creating controversy away from the big screen.
"Fauci," from NatGeo and Magnolia Pictures, hit select theaters Sept. 10 before getting a Disney+ release earlier this month. The documentary lets disparate figures like President George W. Bush, U2's Bono and Bill Gates praise the
Infectious disease specialist.
The studios failed to make the documentary's box office figures available to film industry sites or JustTheNews.com. The vast majority of studios, large and small, routinely share that data, as NatGeo and Magnolia have done on previous releases.
Movie fans then noticed RottenTomatoes.com, arguably the biggest review aggregator site on the web, didn't initially feature any "audience" reviews of the film.
Mainstream film critics saluted "Fauci," although most admitted the film served up a hagiography of the 80-year-old bureaucrat. Once audiences started weighing in on the film at Rotten Tomatoes, though, the results were withering. Professional critics gave "Fauci" a 92% "fresh" score, while audiences gave it just a 2% — or "rotten" — rating.
A similar pattern emerged at IMDB.com, a major film and TV reference destination. "Fauci's" audience rating, on a scale from 1-10, hovered around 1.8. This week, however, the site altered its review algorithm. Now, the audience review tally is a more robust 5.8.
A quick glimpse at the review breakdown, provided by the site, shows the overwhelming number of audience critics gave the film a one-star rating.
The site now features this explanation:

BWAHAHAHA!
Hail Fauci! We who are about to die salute you!
If they make a Movie about the Trial and Execution of Fauci for GENOCIDE, I will PAY to see it, ok.
Quintessential propaganda. Let’s go, Brandon!
Bezos may not run the company but he still owns the bulk of evil twisted leftist Amazon (and **** on anyone who still buys from that communism pushing company to save a few bucks). The left always rally to support each other, and Fauci is cheerleader #1 for the work produced by Communist China (their third attempt after SARS and H1N1 Swine Flu). Wuhan virus was used as the foundation of the scamdemic. They are now owed and Joe will do whatever Xi tells him to do. I read an article over at DailyWire about one example, “Will Biden Abandon Taiwan?”, so give that a look. Joe owes everything to his Chinese masters and after being prepaid via Hunter by them for the damage he does now he won’t risk angering them. Fauci is a demon and one of the greatest mass murderers of all time, as his death count will grow for years and years.
Dude has held that same government job since 1984 (when Reagan was running for his 2nd term). Anthony also botched AIDS. Or did he?
Lots of videos streaming on Prime during lockdown.
An “alternate weighting calculation”? I thought the folks at Amazon were smarter than that. The should have just hired Dominion to count the original votes. Then whatever numbers they’d want, they’d get.
Fauci has replaced Joseph Mengele as the world’s deadliest doctor.
Funding Chinese bioweapons would have earned him a seat in the electric chair in previous eras.
Not much chance of us seeing this “crockumentary”. Actually, ZERO chance.
So many Leftists — from the “President” on down, seem to be surprised and shocked that Americans don’t like what they want them to like.
These people — the majority of whom seem stuck in approximately 1974 — are just pathetic.
I would be eager to see a 100% factual docu about this sad excuse for a physician...
“alternate weighting calculation”
Dominion software?
I misread that as:
"Fauci," from NatGeo and Mongolia Pictures...
You could make a full length motion picture just on Flounder Fauci’s flip flops.
Bono, Bill Gates, & George W Bush.
Stop reading right there ….
Who goes to IMDB for reviews? It’s for movie cast and crew credits. And now everything is behind a paywall, so there’s really no point in going at all.
