The simplest way to explain it is that although we accept and consider all votes received by users, not all votes have the same impact on the final rating. When unusual voting activity is detected, an alternate weighting calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system., the film has been targeted by some fans. The film, directed by Rob Marshall, also stars Jonah Hauer-King, Javier Bardem, Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay, Awkwafina, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
