Only allow critics to post ratings for upcoming movies
Rogue One had a 7.6 rating the last time I checked (12/13/16) which is definitely strange for a Star Wars film, especially that of which is receiving pretty good reviews for the most part. If you check the analytics for the review score, you'll find 1,000 or so "10" ratings and the same amount of "1

How do I find out which movie I have rated but not reviewed (or review has not been approved)?
Hi, the question may sound too mundane or simple. Especially if one only has a few reviews, but mine are in the thousands now and there seems to be a discrepancy between what I've rated and what reviews are on. Going through my list manually would take me quite a long time. So if there was a possi

A film on Imdb can be destroyed by review bombing

Targeted Review Campaign - People haven't watched the show.
