The issue with Rotten Tomatoes is that the actual way it determines the percentage isn't by how highly rated the movie is but more if the reviews are positive, no matter what their actual score for it is. It can be the most 6/10 thing ever but if everyone who reviews it says it is a 6/10 then it's technically it's 100% positively rated.
Yeah it’s literally just an aggregate score showing the % of opinions that thought it was at least above average, so if everyone unanimously thought a movie was just pretty decent, it could theoretically garner 100%
It’s not that they’re never right, it’s that they’re unreliable. They gave Ant-Man and the Wasp an 87%, but Equilibrium and Space Jam are in the 40’s. Say what you want about Equilibrium, but it had a lot of great concepts. It wasn’t absolutely amazing, but it gets way too much shit because it came out right after The Matrix. It’s a lot more “Judge Dredd meets V for Vendetta”, which is fucking awesome. It’s also probably the most emotion I’ve seen from Christian Bale (he’s always great, but something about his first time experiencing human emotion is fucking mesmerizing. That’s not something that can be played easily).

The Menu is great and pretty funny. As someone who enjoys cooking it really does a good job at poking fun at foodie culture and the restaurant industry
Agreed very good film, I think it points fun at more than just food culture and the chef can be seen as a metaphor for artists in many different fields and the people and the people at the restaurant the people who consume the art
Don't look at the tomatometer. That's the percentage of people that rated the movie 50% and up. So if everyone ranked it 51%, the tomatometer would be 100%. You have to look at the average rating to get a real look at it
People need to realize the rotten tomato score is what percentage of critics gave the film a positive rating, meaning a 60% or higher... no body knows how to read the score correctly
Perry sure most ‘critics’ just choose whether they think the move is either rotten/fresh, and then the movie then have 60% fresh reviews it is considered fresh. You can have some critics who gives the movie an A-rating but still rate it as rotten
Metacritics takes the review scores and averages them to a number Rotten tomatos is percentage based That is they take all reviews and say what percentage of them recommend or dont recommend the show Thats why we never see stuff with 100 or 0 on metacritics but on rotten tomatoes its pretty common if no critics recommend the movie it gets a 0
RT is better to use for its ratings out of 10 rather than the percentage. You also have to consider how many critics reviewed it as it takes a large amount of reviews to balance out the score.
The best advice I've ever seen for finding reviews that are accurate for and work for *you* personally is to find reviews made by people or groups of people with the same likes/dislikes and views as you. This makes reviewer content creators really valuable as they tend to put much more of themselves and their preferences out there so you can find ones who align with you in terms of both views- how you fundamentally asses the media, and personal preferences for likes/dislikes. Most likely you will find that you agree with some of them in a lot of areas, but then seemingly inexplicably they will dislike or hate something that you love in one or two areas and vice-versa. So, it is important to pay attention and try to pick those out, but the best reviewers will justify their reasoning and make it pretty clear where their praise or criticism is coming from making it much easier to identify if it falls into a category you'd agree with or if it's one of the personal taste areas you don't. So long as you find reviewers who you fundamentally agree with in terms of *how* they approach their experience of the media and how they process and talk about it then you are likely to get a really great idea of if you'd like something or not
As an avid rotten tomato checker. I’ve learned these things. If it’s a low critic score, but higher audience score, it’s a really fun movie that doesn’t make much sense. If it’s a high critic score, and lower audience score, it’s a slow movie that acting is great but plot can bore you.
Fr, Bullet train has a really low review on RT but was one of most fun movies I’ve seen. It definitely wasn’t made to be a serious action/mystery movie so I don’t get why people are trying to rate it as if it was. It’s actually a great example of Chekhov’s Gun as almost everything shown is important later on in some way.
“Even they hate it” So he doesn’t understand what Rotten Tomatoes is just like the rest of the internet. They’re not assigning a percentage based on what they think, they’re compiling reviews from other sites
@@blending_in it just compiles reviews from other review sites and publications. Any and all of them. The only reviews that actually get written on the rotten tomatoes site are the user reviews. If you look at the reviews it tells you the author and publication on all of them.
@@luckymark571 yup. Always roll my eyes when people say not to trust the critics when audiences rate Ant-man and the Wasp, and other shit like it, 80% or higher. Same with Black Adam. Don't trust rotten tomatoes. Find individual critics your taste aligns with the most and follow that. Not the masses.
Basically, find critics that review the movie for what it is and if it accomplished it, not critics who review it for what it isnt and didnt try to accomplish.
I literally made the same noise as charlie when that she hulk score came up. I watched it and it has like two good moments in the show but the rest is bland and boring. Took me a while to even finish the other half of the show and I'd do it while doing stuff half the time
Best movie with so so reviews was treasure island. Underrated af. I remember watching it as a kid and wondering why I never heard of it past then like with other shows or movies.
How does no one understand how rotten tomatoes works. It’s literally just takes hundreds of reviews from across the Internet and weighs them on whether they’re above 50% which is a positive review or below a 50% which is a negative review, the percentage is not a review score it’s just the amount of people who gave it above 50%
That's why the rating out of 10 is always more useful. For example, Lawrence of Arabia has a 94% while Ratatouille has a 96%. However, Lawrence also has a 9.3/10 while Ratatouille has a 8.5/10.
@@PatrickWDunne exactly, just clicking on the review score gives you a better cage of the movies quality and yet the vast majority of people don’t even know that’s a feature on rotten tomatoes
@@justaduck1652 Then that metric score is just so bad then. Percentage of how many "good" or "bad" is just too vague. At least give critics more options rather than just saying it's "good" or it's "bad"
It's bc the audience score doesn't have any sort of criteria for leaving a review. You don't even have to say you've watched the movie (a lot of people will review bomb a movie bc they think it's "woke") which leaves the audience rating as something worth noting but not ever really taken seriously
Rotten Tomatoes has very manipulative and arbitrary ways of showing receptions for both critics and audiences. Like, a critic can give a film a 6/10 (a positive score) and they will either make it not a "fresh" score or even make it a splatty tomato score.
That’s generally true. Critics are too pretentious sometimes (stepbrothers only has a 55) or the audience is to critical of something for being weird or different (the Northman only has a 60)
I don't believe that, audience scores can be very mercurial. For example giving movies low scores for being too weird or nitpicking things like special effects.
Rotten Tomatoes isn’t great, but people don’t understand that 100% on rotten tomatoes could still just be a 6/10 overall while a rotten film could have a way higher average rating if those who gave it a fresh review generally gave it a very high rating like a 8+/10
The percentage is how many users recommend it overall, NOT how good it is. So a 100% isn't a masterpiece, it's a crowdpleaser. If you want to find which ones they do/don't recommend, click on the percentage and it'll give you the average rating out of 10. It's usually worth seeing if it's a 7/10 or above from critics but opinion is subjective and yes, I, too, have always complained abouy how well received Big Mouth is on there. That show is garbage. Most of the "interesting" tv shows are the very few that aren't reviewed well, like I had a blast with the second season of Homecoming (same with the first, but people liked the first one.)
I think it's important to note that critics review movies as a job. Most will not care about the property they have to write a review on. Obscure movies usually get shit upon while trending popular movies get praised whether it is terrible or not.
I don't know. I love A24 movies and while they're not exactly obscure, they're not really popular, either, yet they tend to consistently review very well with critics. Maybe you mean more obscure, though. There are a lot of movies.
Most people would disagree, but I really like Water World. I look back on it fondly as a movie I enjoyed as a child, and I just don’t see it being a “bad movie”. So many people disagree with me 😅
I prefer trusting neither. I only trust my own scouting or the opinion of a select few friends (not all of them, some are the consoomer kind of audience that enjoys almost everything)
Wait wait wait... So I've been scrolling through the whole comment section and no one has even mentioned how far superior the iMDB-rating system is to the Rotten Tomatoes-system?
Critics in general don't matter. I find myself quite critical of music (it's not my profession, I'm just very opinionated) and my thoughts on music are not at all in line with most people. I think any artist who thinks a critics opinion is of utmost importance is a fool.
Don't trust TV scores. They collect reviews of individual episodes and skew towards first impressions as more reviews will be of the first episode. I also think audience scores are just as bad if not worse than critic scores. They will be nicer to crowd pleasing movies (rise of skywalker, fantastic beast movies, avatar the way of water) and will be harsher to thinkier movies (basically anything made by A24).
Ive always known Rotten Tomatoes to have shit takes, but one recent shit take that i donT understand for the life of me is Bullet Train Bullet Train came out this year and it didnt not receive good score. Critic: 54, Audience: 76. Perosnally id give it at least an 85%. Bullet Train was REALLY well done in terms of action, editing, and writing. People have compared it to Pulp Fiction but with more Japanese and twice as much ADHD. The movie is MADE for people with ADHD. The critic reviews make no sense, they just hate it for the sake of hating it, with no specifics critic on why it was bad.
It's good but derivative; felt like a wannabe Guy Richie or Tarantino film and turned into a shitty CGI fest towards the end. Overall it was a fun movie though, 7/10.
Here's a guide on how Rotten Tomato critics scores works: Below 3: Actually terrible movie, even critics hated it 3-7: Great, classic, actually good movies Above 7: "Safe" movies, like Marvel and Disney live action remakes
House of the dead by uwe boll might be the worse thing I've ever seen. I was so hyped in 7th grade to see it. You could literally see wires and cardboard used in props for the zombies it's wild on top of just being bad.
Audience scores on rotten tomatoes are much worse. A movie can do 1 thing that isn’t generic or make a point that is slightly left-of-center and you’ll get some of the most deranged commenters ever come mass review the movie.
I fucking hated that movie tbh but I could never pinpoint why. I'm not a huge fan of the original manga or anything, just something about the film didn't vibe with me I guess.
@@house_cocoon For me, the main character never had to struggle or fail in order to learn her lessons or improve herself. Anytime she started to fail, she was just too naturally gifted or the plot shoehorns a solution in. Her mistakes weren't punished and successes weren't earned.
People, stop looking for a score to know if something is worth it, read opinions on people you consider have good criteria and that's barely even worth doing, at the end of the day, there is no objective way to measure this things beside the I didn't got a seizure watching it or I did.
Even my mom doesn't really like Megan, and she watches those recycled script Hallmark movies. I almost died bc some of the shit in Megan being so silly
I run a movie theater company. Film companies release movies they know will do poorly during the month of January. There are a few exceptions, but January is the least profitable month for movie theaters.
I work at a movie theater and I think this January is an exception. M3gan, Avatar 2, A Man Called Otto, and Plane are all selling very well, which is surprising to all of us. Our least profitable month was actually September if I remember right.
@@macatk35 Dude I know!!! My General Manager was saying “no way Otto is gonna sell” so he scheduled it into one of the smaller theaters. As you could imagine that caused quite a problem when the first few shows nearly entirely sold out 😂. I wish more attention had gone to Babylon, because I thoroughly enjoyed that movie and thought it was the best movie we’ve had in the past few months. It’s definitely gonna be divisive with how graphic and explicit it is, considering almost everyone over 45 or so that bought a ticket asked for a refund within the first 15 minutes of the movie 😂😂
@James Dean definitely didn't get the recognition it deserved. Fortunately my boss ignored home office and told me to schedule Otto in 3 screens because she felt the older crowd would like it.
I think RottenTomatoes is just used for guidance, like any other review you would watch. You're using it just for an idea, but you'll end up making your own opinion on it when you go watch it.
Ever since seeing the critical score for cuties, I realized the "critic" score is useless for finding good movies. The audience is a bit better and closer to my tastes but I mostly rely on my friends and what they think.
Seeing one movie in which a group of people disagreed with you does not mean that they as a whole should not be trusted. You must look at the larger picture. Audience scorers have no clue what a good or bad movie is if it slapped them in the face. This happens time and time again. It’s about consistency
critics on rotten are not "real" critics, they are those that work for jornals, most of the reviews are paid and the ones that are not they cannot go unhinged, the work of a critic is important and should not be called "worthless" as charlie said, there are alot of real critics out there, not counting make pretend critics on youtube, at least the most of them, i can count in my hands the ones that actually studied cinema EDIT: lmao, didnt know they gave she hulk 92%, the same as daredevil 🤣🤣🤣 that is pure insanity
The issue with Rotten Tomatoes is that the actual way it determines the percentage isn't by how highly rated the movie is but more if the reviews are positive, no matter what their actual score for it is.

I think it's important to note that critics review movies as a job. Most will not care about the property they have to write a review on. Obscure movies usually get shit upon while trending popular movies get praised whether it is terrible or not.
I don't know. I love A24 movies and while they're not exactly obscure, they're not really popular, either, yet they tend to consistently review very well with critics. Maybe you mean more obscure, though. There are a lot of movies.
@@Hocotatium111 Yeah, I meant stuff that is not mainstream media. But I suppose it just depends.
They did score the first mummy.
Critics gave it a 61
Audiences gave it a 75
At 11:59 in a single picture you get what is wrong with the Star Wars community. Oh my god.
The rise of Skywalker is a crime against humanity
This is why if you use rt you look at the overall score too
Most people would disagree, but I really like Water World.
I look back on it fondly as a movie I enjoyed as a child, and I just don’t see it being a “bad movie”.
So many people disagree with me 😅
Am I the only one that trusts critic scores way more than audience review bombed scores lol
I prefer trusting neither. I only trust my own scouting or the opinion of a select few friends (not all of them, some are the consoomer kind of audience that enjoys almost everything)

6:00 charlies death cry came out
Why didn’t he read the critics consensus for moonfall lol
King Arthur: Legend of the sword was a good movie. Absolute crime that it wasn´t successful.
Alita was great. It was such a fun movie.
Mario Movie:
56% 🤢
96% 🍿
Yeah this is telling me something
My name is Megan, I don’t think I’ll subject myself to a single episode..
No king Arthur movie was as good as the one where the kid found Excalibur and put it under his bed when he went to school
@moistcharlieclipsofficial_ while Charlie is a Saint like Nicholas, I doubt he giving away random prizes to random ppl like me thanks.
i actually love King Arthur 2017
Speed Racer 2008 currently has a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes… think about that.
Master of Disguise has a whole 1%
Wait wait wait... So I've been scrolling through the whole comment section and no one has even mentioned how far superior the iMDB-rating system is to the Rotten Tomatoes-system?
My rating system:
* don't see it ever,
* don't pay to see it,
* don't pay to see it in theaters,
* you should go see it,
* go see it in 4DX
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is 52
How can rate any movie a zero percent? I feel like that type of score is meant for something that can't be deemed as a movie.
Yeah, like at that point it wouldnt be a movie it would be a boredom shit fest
Critics in general don't matter. I find myself quite critical of music (it's not my profession, I'm just very opinionated) and my thoughts on music are not at all in line with most people. I think any artist who thinks a critics opinion is of utmost importance is a fool.
Don't trust TV scores. They collect reviews of individual episodes and skew towards first impressions as more reviews will be of the first episode.
I also think audience scores are just as bad if not worse than critic scores. They will be nicer to crowd pleasing movies (rise of skywalker, fantastic beast movies, avatar the way of water) and will be harsher to thinkier movies (basically anything made by A24).
Ive always known Rotten Tomatoes to have shit takes, but one recent shit take that i donT understand for the life of me is Bullet Train
Bullet Train came out this year and it didnt not receive good score. Critic: 54, Audience: 76. Perosnally id give it at least an 85%. Bullet Train was REALLY well done in terms of action, editing, and writing. People have compared it to Pulp Fiction but with more Japanese and twice as much ADHD. The movie is MADE for people with ADHD.
The critic reviews make no sense, they just hate it for the sake of hating it, with no specifics critic on why it was bad.
It's fun even the critics agree I also watched it like multiple times but it isn't really a great movie
It's good but derivative; felt like a wannabe Guy Richie or Tarantino film and turned into a shitty CGI fest towards the end. Overall it was a fun movie though, 7/10.
Because RT’s rating system is trash. You cant properly rate a movie by only having 2 rating choices.
I used to rely on RT five to seven years ago. Now I rely on the people I follow on Letterboxd.
There’s a lot of incest in star wars
Isn’t RT owned by a movie studio or something? I remember hearing that somewhere..
A beloved movie doesn't mean it's a good movie. Maybe in a bad-good movie way.
Here's a guide on how Rotten Tomato critics scores works:
Below 3: Actually terrible movie, even critics hated it
3-7: Great, classic, actually good movies
Above 7: "Safe" movies, like Marvel and Disney live action remakes
House of the dead by uwe boll might be the worse thing I've ever seen. I was so hyped in 7th grade to see it. You could literally see wires and cardboard used in props for the zombies it's wild on top of just being bad.
Noooo way rise of skywalker got that big of a rating by the audience. It was hated by many, it even came close to the last Jedi and that says a lot
This is why IMDb without its reviews is 10000000x better
Audience scores on rotten tomatoes are much worse. A movie can do 1 thing that isn’t generic or make a point that is slightly left-of-center and you’ll get some of the most deranged commenters ever come mass review the movie.
still waiting for a moonfall 2 announcement
The moist meter should have a website nvm it does
I know I'm in the minority here, but Alita Battle Angel was just AWFUL to me.
No you’re right it was a really stupid movie
I didn't like the end that much
I fucking hated that movie tbh but I could never pinpoint why. I'm not a huge fan of the original manga or anything, just something about the film didn't vibe with me I guess.
@@house_cocoon For me, the main character never had to struggle or fail in order to learn her lessons or improve herself. Anytime she started to fail, she was just too naturally gifted or the plot shoehorns a solution in. Her mistakes weren't punished and successes weren't earned.
Same tbh lul
"If its low on rotton tomatoes it must be especially shit."
So im guessing you didnt like the Mario movie.
Charlie how the hell can we trust you when you dont love at least one movie most people hate?
People, stop looking for a score to know if something is worth it, read opinions on people you consider have good criteria and that's barely even worth doing, at the end of the day, there is no objective way to measure this things beside the I didn't got a seizure watching it or I did.
Even my mom doesn't really like Megan, and she watches those recycled script Hallmark movies. I almost died bc some of the shit in Megan being so silly
I run a movie theater company. Film companies release movies they know will do poorly during the month of January. There are a few exceptions, but January is the least profitable month for movie theaters.
February is similar, and funny enough Morbius was gonna come out in February but got delayed to March- which probably only helped it bomb financially.
I work at a movie theater and I think this January is an exception. M3gan, Avatar 2, A Man Called Otto, and Plane are all selling very well, which is surprising to all of us. Our least profitable month was actually September if I remember right.
@James Dean is the that crazy?! I had no idea Otto was going to sell so good. Especially being on streaming platforms!
@@macatk35 Dude I know!!! My General Manager was saying “no way Otto is gonna sell” so he scheduled it into one of the smaller theaters. As you could imagine that caused quite a problem when the first few shows nearly entirely sold out 😂. I wish more attention had gone to Babylon, because I thoroughly enjoyed that movie and thought it was the best movie we’ve had in the past few months. It’s definitely gonna be divisive with how graphic and explicit it is, considering almost everyone over 45 or so that bought a ticket asked for a refund within the first 15 minutes of the movie 😂😂
@James Dean definitely didn't get the recognition it deserved. Fortunately my boss ignored home office and told me to schedule Otto in 3 screens because she felt the older crowd would like it.
3:16 that dry jerkin' sound is crazy annoying lol
Rotten tomatoes also said ZSJL is good and ZSJL is really, really not good at all
Its not good at all, its great.
How do you not know how to use rotten tomatoes
She-Hulk is fine lmao
Ant Man & The Wasp was a solid 7.8/10. One scene took me out but then brought me back in. Well, not 100% back in but 90%.
Loved loved loved Alita: Battle Angel. Probably watched it like 7 times
The Rise of Skywalker was botted. There are some very illustrative videos showing how repetitive and obviously generated the 5 star reviews are.
I think RottenTomatoes is just used for guidance, like any other review you would watch. You're using it just for an idea, but you'll end up making your own opinion on it when you go watch it.
Ever since seeing the critical score for cuties, I realized the "critic" score is useless for finding good movies. The audience is a bit better and closer to my tastes but I mostly rely on my friends and what they think.
Seeing one movie in which a group of people disagreed with you does not mean that they as a whole should not be trusted. You must look at the larger picture. Audience scorers have no clue what a good or bad movie is if it slapped them in the face. This happens time and time again. It’s about consistency
IMBD user score is the most reliable.
That is 100% true. Trust yourself
Every Marvel movie has a higher score than Equilibrium. You can not tell me that Iron Man 2 or Thor are better than Equilibrium.
critics on rotten are not "real" critics, they are those that work for jornals, most of the reviews are paid and the ones that are not they cannot go unhinged, the work of a critic is important and should not be called "worthless" as charlie said, there are alot of real critics out there, not counting make pretend critics on youtube, at least the most of them, i can count in my hands the ones that actually studied cinema
EDIT: lmao, didnt know they gave she hulk 92%, the same as daredevil 🤣🤣🤣 that is pure insanity
This is why review's don't matter 😂
It’s kinda fuckin stupid that they rated stranger things higher than game of thrones and the walking dead
