[–] Four_lights77@lemm.ee 21 points 3 years ago (1 child) The user reviews are where it’s at on rotten tomatoes. The critic reviews have been kinda suspect for a while. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] neonspool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago the critic reviews have always been complete dogshit. too many movies get 100% or 0% on rotten tomatoes. if i'm not mistaken IMDB ratings are only user based, and in my opinion, i almost never disagree with IMDB ratings and i think it's because it has a vastly larger voting group to get a more accurate viewer consensus even if a small number of critics give a 0/10 or 10/10 permalink fedilink source parent
