now that i think about it, did that percentage figure in the fact that 25% of most populations are unvoting minors? or was that embarrassingly high 30% just eligible voters?
Don't forget that there's a whole hell of a lot of voter suppression going on in red states, too. Remember when Georgia voted for Biden in 2020? Or when Paxton said he was certain Texas would have gone to Biden in 2020 if he hadn't prevented mail in ballots from being sent to certain counties? Republicans are actively preventing people from voting because they can't win if everyone votes.
I think the “verified audience” are people who bought tickets through Fandango. So, either they were the kind of people who wanted to see and like it or they bought tickets but didn’t actually go and are astroturfing.
Either way, the high ratings are definitely bullshit.
The purpose of the audience rating is "how people who thought they would like the movie thought of it" which is approximated via the verified views thing. So this makes sense.

You think maybe the guy known for trying to cheat voting systems did a little vote cheating?

Allegedly about 50% of USAians have voted for Trump. So most likely there's not even anything shady going on here.

edit: turns out the number is closer to 20%

Well okay 40% were still ambivalent regarding politics which isn't much better.

I'm certainly sensing a theme to these reviews

My headcanon is that they trained the LLM/bot that made these on Trump's tweets.

The "verified audience" aspect is the issue. Only people that paid for tickets are giving these reviews. One review:
Uh....yeah.

Someone spent money to buy tickets and make bots write reviews. I don't think they got it for free.

Doesn't make it any less not verified. A bot is not a verified user. They are bots.

I checked 10 reviewer accounts from the first few pages. Literally all of them had only one rating on their account: Melania, 5 stars.
At least try to look like you're not astroturfing, lol.

Amazon spent $35m on it, I'm sure they can spend a little bit of that on buying some positive reviews

I'm used to RT brown-nosing the bastard until they're neck-deep but it's usually not this RT.

Audience score has always been nonsense.

Only the tomatometer is actually a valid score. The site is called rottentomatoes not rottenpopcorn...

Trump can't do nothing without vote fraud.

RT is owned by Versant, a spin-off company of NBC-U. With a 25 percent share by WBD. It is not impartial.
