Is Rotten Tomatoes overrated?

I think it is poorly used more so than not understood. People mostly use the % of fresh scores to determine if it is something they should see, rather than looking at the info as a whole, including the critic quotes, and evaluating based on what you know about yourself if you will be on the side that views it as fresh or rotten.

Well yeah, and the same thing can be said for every single review service and national critic star/thumbs up rating.
