IMDb Alters Rating System After 'The Little Mermaid' Receives Influx of Negative Reviews

IMDb has changed how it calculates ratings for the new live-action "The Little Mermaid" film due to unusual negative reviews.
The film has faced backlash since announcing Halle Bailey, a Black actress, in the lead role of Ariel.
Despite some controversies, the film has earned over $200 million at the box office worldwide.
IMDb has detected irregular voting activity for the film and made changes to ensure reliable ratings.
Some believe the influx of negative reviews, or "review bombing," is in response to the casting of a Black Ariel.
