This isn't a place for breaking movie news or long-form journalism. What it is, is a passionate and active fan community. The "SR Originals" are my favorite. The writers on this site often find ways to write about shows and movies from angles I never thought of.
Overall entertainment sites in general have ads running on their site, but Screenrant makes the experience impossible for the user. The pop-up video ads are more noticeable on mobile. The other experience to share is that they do tend to not source where they get an exclusive. Sometimes they do which seems to be other sites owned by the same media company, but otherwise no credit is given to the original source. That is a sneaky practice and contributes to mis-information.
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.
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
Tip for consumers:
avoid it if you value your brain cells

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

Honestly itself was ok but the people sucks clickbait clickbait and clickbait another thing is everything in their post are wrong the last reason is the people are lazy they stole content from small creator and other websites
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.
Nothing more than click bait garbage. I don't mind click bait if the content is decent but ScreenRant is baiterificly cringey with horrendous writing and terrible content to go with it.
They are joyously blocked from my Facebook and Google feed. Hallelujah.
99% of screenrant's content is absolute hot garbage. The rhetoric gets tiresome a mere few sentences in. The catchlines that they cast out onto the interwebs never live up to the hype. Screenrant is like the internet's equivalent of JaMarcus Russell. They are NOT worth your time, trust me. Quality writing or entertaining content is scarce.
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
I recently saw an article involving my all time favorite game and how it should be more lgbtq relatable. The person who wrote the article OBVIOUSLY had not played game before or the original to make sure stupid remarks through out the entire article.
This person clearly just wanted their dumb article clicked on just for hits.
The people who allow such idiocracy to be put out there for the whole internet world to see should be ashamed to even be called journalist but hey that's how all "journalist" are these days. Uninformed and desperate.
(I am gay and I took offense to the article FYI)
Even if you can get past their political agenda, they clearly aren't fans of the characters and movies they cover. My guess is they decide on a topic that'll get views, they do just enough research on the important characters to look like they knew about them before, and if they can't find enough material for their topic they'll ignore/twist/cherrypick the story until they find what they want.
Tip for consumers:
Don't, go literally anywhere else.
Well for one they're constantly making up things.
They rarely put sources to anything.
And they're constantly making up problems in shows ot movies that aren't even problems or weren't problems to begin with.
I'd suggest firing most of their writers and hiring new more well thought out writers to overall make their site much more better.
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.
Literally steals its content from smaller YouTube channels. Distasteful and downright wrong. But hey, they have a ton of funding so I guess it's the American way.
I would definitely say that ScreenRant is one of the most frustrating film and TV sites out there. Their content is inconsistent and it hardly even looks like their authors watch the content they're talking about. I've read articles that are like "10 Things About______ That Just Don't Make Sense" but in honesty, it turns out being 10 things about this article that don't make sense. Every single point that they make is such a huge reach that I would like to get in touch with the Editor to send them some stretching tips to ensure that the authors aren't hurting themselves from reaching so far. I remember, however, things used to be really good quality but now I just get second-hand embarrassment whenever I read one of their articles.
So I looked up the age of an actor during their time at gossipgirl. The first line in screenrant 'review' had a major spoiler in the first line of the actors age. Really!?!?!?! Why add a major spoiler in line 1 and without warning. Wtf reads screenrant? No me EVER again. My first and last time. I'd give them a -5 if i could
$#*! you screenrant and Zackerie Fairfax. Fallout 2 is the best fallout game and if we didn't have fallout 1 we wouldn't have any Fallout games. Zackerie Fairfax you broken condom of a person go back to being a wank stain.

Terrible website with terribly written opinion based articles. The only reason I think they have any relevance is as an example of how not to run a website on films.
The most horrible display of biased article writing I've ever seen. Circular reasoning, poor arguments, all to push and validate the unjustified opinions of few people with bad taste. Tasteless.
I have to read Screen Rant articles for my film class and more often than not they make some outlandish claim intentionally demonizing or distancing a group in favor of some political or social movement. They just did this with the newest Pokemon games trying to make it seem like the games weren't accepting enough of LGBTQ+ while also having an article praising them for their LGBTQ+ representation. They turn something that is not divisive into something devisive and even contradict themselves. We just want to enjoy a learn about games, movies, etc. Stop trying to turn everything into a political or social movement.

Hello Ryan, I'm not sure what you mean by "political agenda" and there's a certain irony to you cherry-picking articles on the site you disagreed with to make that claim. Our writers come from diverse backgrounds and opinions. A libertarian even moderates our comments. No article is ever shot down for not adhering to an "agenda" or "won't get enough views". Interesting topics with interesting takes that our readers will enjoy (or be challenged by) dictate what goes on the site and what does not.
