Yeah, but looking around it looks like there's also LotR fans who are offended because they feels it shits on Lord of the Rings. Maybe not the best motivation to slam the series with 1/10's either, but certainly less bad.

And then there are others who just think it's poorly executed in general. Seems to be a mix of things.

From this perspective I’m not sure that it’s the motivation that really matters, but the effect.

If a bunch of ultra-hardcore lotr fans review bomb, the effect is the same as when republicans do it. They give their own clique outsided weight in the review average, skewing the result so it would be less representative of a true average result.
