Film star ratings

I'm not sure where to post this. Those who run IMDb, I would suggest viewing your 'reviews' for upcoming films such as 'Godzilla vs Kong'. You have at least 20 one star reviews (bringing down the film's average) by those who haven't seen the film, but are instead trying to bring down the film's star rating with wonderful reviews that simply state 'Restore The Snyderverse'. What is the point of giving a film a star rating when those who have yet to see it and can't even give an actual review on how good or bad a film is can intentionally bring down the film's rating? I've seen reviews posted a month before a film comes out just to drop its star rating. If you want your site to actually mean something, you have to do something about these reviews. My suggestion, if an account posts a review prior to the film being released for any sort of viewing, or if the reviewer posts a review that has nothing to do with the film, they should be banned from posting any more reviews.

Trying to balance out the idiots and their 1 star ratings because of the Snyderverse.
I'm happy they got the Snyder Cut but don't ruin other movies ratings.

Haven't seen it yet but expecting something great
28 March 2021
I'm only writing this review because I haven't even seen it yet
to counteract all you Warner Brothers Band boys 
who don't know how to get out of your mommy's basement
put on pants and get a job.
Stop trying to tank a good movie 
because you're whining and crying about what you want.

@Stolbez  Thanks for the suggestion, but we already do not allow reviews / ratings ahead of the first release date; this has been the case for many years. 

For more details on release dates, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/release-dates/GVUUDEPJNAW6G35P 

If you have any counter-examples, please provide the details. 

Hope this helps.
