Used to be my goto for all things tv/movies. Now i have a hard time even finding content worth watching. Money money money, remeber where you came from folks.
Every article is biased as all hell with no actual point to them. Each article is littered with grammatical errors, clearly showing that they don't have any competent editors on staff. Overall it is just low quality fake news meant for people who are too dumb to notice that the articles are written by a bunch of people who clearly never finished 9th grade English.
Having chanced upon this site I was so shocked by the lamentable quality of content on this site, which is uniformly crammed with errors (grammatical and factual) and repetitive, uninformed writing clearly targeting a word count rather than any sort of quality. I was so appalled I sought out reviews of the site to confirm that my incredulity wasn't misplaced. Seems it wasn't! If you want to read content of this standard may I recommend you ask a six year old to write a story about what they did on their holidays, it'll be of a similar quality but likely far more entertaining.
Every title is clickbait, each review is hateful rather than critical so they can get more buzz. Each 'list' that they do can't even have any consistency. Case in point, their 20 things wrong with Black Widow list. Obviously people are thinking of the MCU character when they look for a list like this. But they had to stretch as far as one obscure COMIC story that no one even knew about to make the list. Sensationalism in every sense of the word.
Lobbies for industry products instead of truly and objectively critiquing them. Reviews and news particularly regarding Star Wars media promote it as if Screen Rant were a pitch to sell the product and writers ignore/dismiss very present and relevant issues regarding the franchise.
One of my biggest laments in life is that I am forced to watch a Screen Rant video each week in order to watch the talented Ryan George do Pitch Meetings. If not for that, I would pay a small fortune to have this site wiped from existence, or at the very least from my browsing experience. This is complete garbage, fake news, clickbait, cow dung masquerading as journalism.
Screenrant lies about almost everything. What's worse, they make it look like it's true! Like half of the websites justifies horrible movies/series and the other half talks trash about actually good movies/series. Don't read from this. Please. Supporting this website means supporting misinformation. Don't do that.
A click-bait website where multi-page articles are quickly and poorly written around one or two mundane facts. A recent article about My Hero Academia took many paragraphs to simply say that the author received criticism about how he drew a character, but he stuck with it. That would be one of many facts in a proper article about the author at a quality website. At screen rant it is the article.
How can one site be so consistengly bad and keep missing the mood of movie fans. Their constant need to stir up hate and be offended by everything has turned them from a light hearted entertainment site to a depressing joke.
This company's work culture is just the poorest that I have ever seen. The managers and editors completely ignore the staff of writers. I don't see how anyone can run a business the way they do. Seriously, do you know what happens when you ignore people? They go away and find work somewhere else.
They pay out one of the lowest rates in the industry. The editors do nothing but cause problems. When you do manage to get one to reply to you, they are always nothing but nasty, rude, and manipulative.
If you are going to work for this company, start looking for other work the moment they onboard you so you can get the heck out of there. The work environment and culture is like having to swim around in a vat of toxicity.
ScreenRant knows nothing about anything that they are writing about and what they say makes zero sense all they do is kissing $#*! for corporate giants like Disney it's stupid and pointless
Screen Rant, along with all its sister sites (Gamerant, CBR etc) are the worst entertainment sites ever. Stolen content, click bait titles, poorly (If any) researched articles. The people who contribute to this site need to get their heads out of their rear ends and stop smelling their own farts cause non of them are worthy to be called "Writers"
Screenrant legit wrote an article about how Carol Danvers needs to "take a lesson" from the men in the MCU. That honestly just speaks volumes for you. I doubt that the person who wrote the review actually hates women (but i could be wrong, SOMEONE came up with the idea) its just that you want you're clout, and you want to stir up drama. And thats honestly so sad. You have millions of followers, yet your accounts are so dead you need to create some drama off of a controversial topic (captain marvel/brie larson) honestly y'all need to take a hint. Deactivate your twitter, delete your youtube, and lastly erase any presence that you ever existed off the Internet
They just write what they want to hear, most of the times there are mistakes all over the articles and the writers know little to nothing of the subjects they're writing about. A sorry pathetic excuse for journalism.
If you start to actually care for the site and want to go into leaving comments, beware! They will censor you if the users start to care about your comments. Their information is also nothing but copy-paste from other sties AND a ton of their article title's are clickbait.
They don't even research anything for their articles it's all half $#*! bull$#*!. The articles they've done on the twilight series alone is incredibly abysmal in the fact that it doesn't seem to research anything before posting their own opinions on these articles it's disgusting.
I agree with Maverick O.'s review stating ScreenRant blatantly clickbaits its headlines, copy/pastes stories without an editor's eye, and censors comments it does not like. This morning I pointed out two clickbaiting headlines titles that were outright lies. SR deleted my (and others') posts, as well as a comment I left about how doing so was pretty shady. I'm now apparently banned from commenting because SR is incapable of receiving criticism. They lost a reader because of that.
Every single article screams of poorly informed and disinterested journalists. Their articles all have clickbaity titles with shock value, like "10 characters far more powerful than___" designed to trigger fans and get them to click the link. Words cannot describe the contempt I feel for this sorry excuse of a pop culture Blog
Looked up Rush Hour 4 news, found "ten things about Rush hour trilogy that didn't age well". Zero technical critique, just an idealogical lecture by a suburbanite using the platform of films that are loved by people by of all genders and backgrounds. Upon further look it seems to be common on SR sadly. Back to RH, it droned on into a patronising dig at whoever found it funny. The reviewer spun every ingredient used by nearly all comedies for people over the age of 15. They work because of context and delivery. I thought, could you imagine anything more unfunny than this reviewer writing a comedy script?!? I can't
Aside from ripping off small content creators, I don't even think they watch the things they post abt. For example, in the Arrowverse they put Alex Danvers ranked as a better fighter than Oliver Queen. What. The. Actual. $#*!. They also said Olicity is the best ship when it is just insanely toxic and unhealthy, Felicity seriously deteriorated after s2. The point is it's bull$#*!.
Answer: Not at all easy, customer service and management are horrible at communication and responding to emails.
Answer: It's a legal site, When I want to read late-breaking movie news, I'll visit the trade sites like Variety or Hollywood Reporter. However, when I want something fun, I go to ScreenRant. A lot of people hate lists and fun articles, and that is fine, but I would prefer fun stuff to endless regurgitation of the same stories over and over. For people who hate fun, there is always Deadline. For people who love to read fun stuff about movies and TV, ScreenRant is well worth the follow.
ScreenRant has a rating of 1.4 stars from 117 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with ScreenRant most frequently mention and fake news. ScreenRant ranks 315th among Movie sites.
Hi John, sorry to hear that you feel this way. We cover a lot of different topics and these topics are covered by people with varying levels of expertise - relative to the kind of article that's being written. Not every infotainment list needs to be written by someone with a degree in film criticism. That said, the core SR team is made up of a long-established group of people with over 10 years covering the entertainment industry - journalists who are regularly present on film sets and sit down with actors, directors, writers, etc for exclusive interviews. So, while some writers have less experience and might make mistakes (and might have already been removed from the site for not fact-checking), it's hyperbolic to suggest that, as a whole, the team knows little-to-nothing about the subjects they're covering.
