Welcome to my world, or at least part of it. Nothing about Marvel or the MCU is the straw that broke the camel's back, but I've been on about Rotten Tomatoes for years. Probably since the first time I saw a movie rated 100%. That's impossible, goddammit. Every bit as unrealistic as being rated 0.
I understand the algorithm makes it work, but it does not work for me to see unreasonably high ratings for regular movies. High and low ratings tell me something. 0 and 100 tell me nothing.
Last month I recommended my friend a movie to download, so he did, then before we watched it he mentioned apparently it's at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, which bodes well for it. I recommended it and even thought ugh, that's stupid.
I guess that's why there's a critic score and audience score and even though I don't like the algorithm, the gap between them sometimes is more telling than either rating alone.
IMDb I generally find is more accurate, but not inscrutable either.
IMDB is not accurate either because of socks. one person can have 20 accounts and rate a film a 10 or a 1.
nothing is reliable, the only thing reliable is if a person can talk in full extent on the content of a movie or if there is a pattern about many complaints from other people that hate movies that also make movies.
for instance how do I know Interstellar is better than GOTG? Because Interstellar had some brains to it, it was directed by a person who had creative freedom to tell his story even with all the flaws. GOTG is just fun dumb down nonsense shited out by the disney cooperate factory and those darm jokes to make the movie goofy for kids? interstellar used a more serious approach , a better approach. that is why it is better. these are solid reasons.
why it is a better film. I dont give a darm what rotten tomatoes says. the substance had to speak for itself.
MCU fans were a funny bunch. they never listened to many film makers who have said or implied mcu movies are trash, they never listened to long tome marvel comic fans who spoke about how marvel was getting too silly and childish under disney but they chose to listen to critics who they cant even name.lol. at least we know who john landis, james cameron, ridley scott are.
