rotten tomatoes
« on: June 26, 2006, 03:13:47 PM »
ok this is just me posting when im bored. does anyone go to this site? it seems like every review i read from the members is terrible (on their forums). They have their cream of the crop thing and there critic review etc etc. I just want to know if any of you agree with them. i mean sure not every movie is fantastic but it seems as if they rate movies in the 40%'s A LOT. just seems like nothing pleases them. anyways enough of my bored ranting.  ;D

PS: and if i went by their ratings it seems like i would never go out to the movie theaters.

Fuck critics...Critics usually have shitty opinions. Especially Rotten Tomatoes, that site is very harsh...I mean, I'll check it out to see how a movies reviews did, but never to decide whether or not I'm going to actually watch a movie...PeACe

Sounds like they love movies just like me. lol

Yea. I wouldn´t let a review influence my decision. I hardly go to the movies. Man last movie I saw was Sin City.  If I hear about a movie that makes me curious then I´m going. Just to find out if the movie is trash or not. But that doesn´t happen often. Anyway... just cause they are critics doesn´t mean that they have a great taste. 99% of mainstream´s movies are pure crap in my opinion, so I don´t watch them, but I enjoy more unknown movies... from time to time... not those big Hollywood productions.. Now I talked to a person who thought that Star Wars Episode 2 was the movie of the millenium and shit and basically preyed every day to god and asked him to look out for George Lucas. lol ...

Whatever... I find it funny to watch a movie and after that I  read the reviews.. it´s nice to see what people like and dislike about a movie...

They're a bunch of haters. You want the real review, peep Yahoo where the moviegoers give their opinion.

They get their ratings by collecting the scores of different websites...its not THEM for rate the movies.

I don't think I've ever seen a good review on it, but then again when all they get is remakes and romantic shite what can you expect

it is kind of hit or miss when it comes to their review system.

a lot of the time i just don't care what every reviewer in the world thinks, i'm going to see a movie regardless

Its good to get an overall picture, as it collects reviews from loads of different publications, but I've watched/bought a film based on what I've read on there unless I was already thinking of watching/buying it.

Use IMDB and read the user's comments and reviews...Sites like rottentomatoes only give good grades to movies like "Spider-Man" and "Meet The Parents". Basically movies that "everybody" agrees are great...
