Agreed which is why it is accurate. The average score is accurate.

I have terrible taste in movies so I don't bother with reviews. If I'm looking forward to a movie I try to avoid all reviews, because having an opinion on a movie before you watch it can completely taint the experience.

How's kicks, AW?
[QUOTE=Duderonomy]It's kinda ridiculous how it's the end all be all for if a movie is good or not, when it's really just kids who spent 7 hours a day on the web. Of course everyone is a movie expert now. :rolleyes: Do I really need to read 20 reviews before I see if I should watch Nick of Time ?[/QUOTE]
true
to be honest most of the time those fakkits get it ass backwards in their attempt to be pretentious hipsters
they will dis cool movies and act like they like shitty ones :lol
[QUOTE=Duderonomy]Is Batman v Superman getting a 30% enough for you RT snubs to stop taking it seriously?
[B]Was Mad Max Fury Road really a near perfect film to warrant a 97% ? [/B]
Doc Savage holds a 61% while Danger Diabolik has a 67%, is 6% the difference between something unwatchable and another thats a masterpiece?[/QUOTE]
yes.
Should've been 100%. Perfect action movie.
the batman v superman rating is a joke, I'm glad that the vast majority of audiences are coming to this conclusion.
They also gave boondock saints 20% lol.
[QUOTE=T_L_P]Pointing out subjective examples does nothing.
Mad Max was the best film of 2015 after Chi-Raq for me. And I thought Batman vs Superman was overlong and spent far too much time showing us stuff we've already seen (falling in the well, the parents' death - really?).
I guess Rotten Tomatoes must be the GOAT site, right?
It's an aggregate site that tells you the general consensus for a film. It does its job. :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
The 5-7 minute scene in the beginning is to set up this batman, to show the NEW audiences what batman is all about, it's not for a guy who has seen his origin story multiple times, sure, but let's not act like this universe's batman is so well established.
BTW, any movie buff regardless of knowing or not knowing batman's origin story would appreciate the great visuals in that scene.
I haven't seen BvS yet but it is 7.5/10 on IMDB and 73% on RT Audience score.
The critic rating of 29% isn't really in line with those
I wouldn't doubt that preconceived notions about this film did play a part in the critics rating. After the previews came out pretty much everyone declared that it would suck, so it might be hard for a critic who wants to be taken seriously to give it high marks.

Every post you make about movies is pure entertainment.
It's only overrated if you don't understand how it actually works.

It's overrated if the majority of movie goers put too much stock into it.

Because they don't understand it, they're stupid, or both.

It has nothing to do with that... seriously. Look up the meaning of overrated, anybody can feel anything is overrated, and I dont even think its overrated, just stop being an unecessary pain in the ass.
Yeah it's more than possible to have a grasp on how RT works and still overrated it.
RT is main stream, these days most people go into movies (or stay home) knowing what the RT score is.
I prefer imdb > Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes sometimes aligns with friends' of mine reviews of movies.
All subjective.

I understand the meaning of the word dipshit. It's more misunderstood than overrated. And even then I rarely see a problem. I've never gone to a 80+ RT movie and walked away going, "well, that sucked" or heard others do the same. RT works quite well; <40, it probably sucks, 40-60, you might like it, 60-80, good but probably genre dependent, 80+ you should probably see it.
