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.

Opinion made facts
March 26, 2021

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.

Always wrong
October 18, 2021

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.

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.

The best thing about Screen Rant is the diversity of opinions that the site has on a regular basis, which means that you get a lot of different POVs on the site. They also cover several shows/comics/movies that don't get any attention from other websites. I feel like every site can be criticized for valid things, but I see many people hating on Screen Rant (and on similar sites) because they read this or that opinion that they really hate. However, if you actually look on the site, there's usually another article written from someone else who feels differently and provides other POVs. As a fan, I love seeing my favorite things being talked about, and I love having my assumptions challenged by diverse opinions. I really like the site and it's a shame that it gets trashed on by fans who want to live inside an echo chamber.

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.

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"

Clickbait at its peak
October 19, 2020

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

It's just trash
April 8, 2020

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.

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.

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

They Know Nothing
December 9, 2020

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. $#*!. They also said Olicity is the best ship when it is just insanely toxic and unhealthy, Felicity seriously deteriorated after s2. The point is it's bull$#*!.

I just read most of this article and have to assume it was AI generated. This is a new low. Is this what we have to look forward to on the internet now?

Horrible articles
September 24, 2021

The people writing the articles really have no clue about the subjects they're writing about and do not understand what fans really think about the subjects they wrote about. Very biased opinions instead of actually reporting on the facts.

They hire just about anyone. Just saw a link on Google titles "write for us". Clicked on it and it's your name, phone number, and email with OPTIONAL boxes to state your merit and any ideas you'd have once hired. Every single topic, whether it be videogames, anime, MBTI, cars, celebrities -- you name it -- is completely off and very obviously not researched. If you want anything accurate, don't go to them. Sites such as The Gamer, EuroGamer, Polygon, Forbes, etc., are also highly inaccurate. ScreenRant seems to be the most inaccurate and the most consistently inaccurate.
