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?
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.
rotten tomatoes is the worst indicator of whether a movie is any good, and “critics” are talking out their asses 100% of the time.
