You have to know how to use it. I know 80% audience and 40% critics will probably be a fun and interesting watch, but 70% critics and 80% audience will be a generic, well made but predictable movie that I’ll find boring. 95% critics 20% audience is arty and need to be in the right mood for. Etc.
You know, this thread kinda has me thinking. Younger people these days will never know what it’s like to just watch a movie and make up your own mind about it. Every movie is the best thing ever or a pile of garbage and you haven’t even seen the trailer yet.
nah movie reviews have been a thing since forever, before they were online they were on tv and in the newspapers. remember that fuckhead ebert being wrong about everything every single time?
should i clap back about how you prefer to let paid shills tell you how and what to think about media?
or should we notice that we’re in a thread about liking bad movies and maybe not make attacks on each others’ character in the most chickenshit-ass sideways manner in the name of defending some corpo website from flippantly vague criticism?
You said rotten tomatoes is the “worst” indicator of film quality.
What a cringe take, to think you know better than every person who’s job it is to evaluate film quality. The people who have spent their lives watching all manner of films through a critical lens typically backed by an education, all worthless compared to one Lemmy who probably goes to upmarket restaurants and complains about the small serving sizes.
Everyone I’ve met who “hates the critics” objectively has bad taste, and you the worst type are the ones who are proud of it.
Good luck bro, chuck on a 0%er and jerk off to how clever you are for liking it hahahahahah
bub rotten tomatoes is not a person, they don’t give a shit. me on the other hand, i’m a person who’s hitting that report button cause you’re just being downright hateful and nasty for no good reason.
Kung pow enter the fist. Screw what the critics and rotten tomatoes score says. The movie is goated!
The Taco Bell jingle has lived rent free in my head for 20 years now
Kung pow and Friday are the 2 movies that I can fully quote in my head. I’m sure if I get Alzheimer’s I will still be able to quote them.
Either my wife or I will bust out “Bye, Felicia” at least once a week.
THATS A LOT OF NUTS!!
Oh Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement Taco Bell.
Your shirt is red now
Isn’t Betty a girls name?
This is one of my absolute favorites!
“Haha, I’m bleeding, making me the victor”
“My nipples look like milk duds.”
uiu…uiiiu…uiiiiiuiuiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuu
rotten tomatoes is the worst indicator of whether a movie is any good, and “critics” are talking out their asses 100% of the time.

I hated that movie so much, it also just feels really racist at this point
I quote this movie weekly at least, often with sound effects that make people think I’m crazy. Love this live action cartoon.
