Hey John, I’m glad to hear your collection of films is working pretty well. I think I might have a solution for you to avoid those Reviews.
If your Plex client runs on a PC/MAC, one workaround is to switch from the Plex Desktop App to the older Plex Media Player. I don’t see any Reviews on it.
My PMP movie library advanced configuration is set to this:
Ratings Source: IMDb
Scanner: Plex Movie
Agent: Plex Movie
I agree it would be good to see an option to disable Reviews, but there’s the possibility that Plex makes a commission from placing the reviews in our app and would not be inclined to assist us. For example if they place reviews, they might get a discount on each rating they scrape.
EDIT: I just noticed this came up a year ago in this topic:
Gone to infuse because I can't turn off Rotten Tomato reviews
okay have a good day
