That's weird. A 3/5 should be an automatic fresh rating.

Tell that to RT, not me.

But it's a moot point in the end because they hamfist everything into rotten or fresh. You can't have a "neutral" and they never ask the authors for their opinions on their binary system.

What are some examples of this?

Generally a reviewer seems pretty clear if a movie is worth watching or not no? That's generally how I look at it. 97% of critics think the movie is worth watching.

Happened a lot with Justice League. Several critics spoke out about it (critics generally don't like RT / Metacritic though)

*Facepalm*

Imagine being so politically biased that you think anyone not on your political side is alt right.

i mean, if a person is stupid enough to ram a truck in a planned parenthood because of the political ideologies he ascribes to, then i would hope that he's just part of a radical fringe movement. the alternative is suggesting that everyone to the right of center is like this. is that what you are suggesting?


This a better worded way of saying what I intended to say.

All of this except I'm pretty sure this guy is actually not alt-right, just a Christian radical.

seems like a strange weighting system to me


It's not. People just assume it's the same as Metacritic. Probably because most of us here are gamers.

Scores for movie reviews are no where near as specific as video game reviews too.


no I mean in terms of that list ranking. Mad Max Fury Road - 97%, 375 reviews, average rating 8.6. It's lower than Black Panther which is also 97%, but with fewer reviews, lower average rating. I'm used to the rym weighting system which makes way more sense, instinctively anyway

That's because people who complain about people not understanding how RT works themselves do not understand how RT works.

If you're a critic or other reviewer type person who publishes their stuff on RT or is otherwise a partner, you can tell them whether your review is rotten or fresh.

Lots of people aren't, however, so Rotten Tomatoes will take their reviews, post it on their website, and have one of their employees read it and provide the rotten/fresh rating themselves.

This causes problems in the case of mixed reviews where an author liked the movie despite being critical of its flaws is erroneously reported as rotten when it should be fresh. The reverse also happens if someone is critical of a movie but praises a specific aspect very highly it might be considered fresh instead of rotten.

Overall the tomato meter can never truly be trusted. You are better off just reading the text of reviews themselves.

BP is very good but it's definitely not worthy of the 97% rating. It's slow at times and T'Challa comes across as weak during several parts. It's like an 83% movie at best imo.

Like, this. It was a good movie but somehow T'Challa ended up being the least interesting character.

Pretty sure Red XIII isn't a normal animal you can find in real life.

Even then, he'd be some sort of canine - since he can howl.

He takes traits from both feline and canine. He also washes himself by licking his paw.


I believe he is inspired by the Karashishi / lion dog.

A mythological Japanese guardian yokai.

Fun fact: coca also means cocaine


Touche

smh man what the fuck were they thinking when they named a soda "coca-cola"

like, "coca-cola"? one's first thought is, "isn't coca short for something? COCAINE COLA?" smh


Because originally, cocaine was the active stimulant in coca cola until it was outlawed and was switched to caffeine.

Actually, it originally used both. Even today they still use the Coca leaf, but only after treatment to remove the cocaine. The cocaine is sold for pharmaceutical purposes. Apparently only one business in the country can import and process coca leaves and only one can purchase and process the cocaine.


Interesting...

I knew it used to be brewed with coca leaves, but didn't know they were still doing it.

The other source went through his social media and saw him share articles from liveaction and other similar places.

I actually feel like Cyborg came into his own by the end of the movie. Not just with the "Booyah!" line, but he also manages to adopt a more classic costume kind of indicating that the reason his costume was jacked for the movies was because he still didn't have full control over his powers.

One of the problems with Man of Steel is the same problem that a lot of the DCCU has. It sets things up to tell the story of a new universe with their own interpretations of the characters, but then they demand the audience view things through the lens of past interpretations.

Like, so what if Superman kills Zodd? That's an established moral quandary for old Superman, not this new Superman. We're given no real indication in the film that this should be such a crisis of character for him, and yet it that's how they tried to portray it by inappropriately referring back to our understanding of his characterization in other series.

This is a really good point, honestly. There isn't any indication that Superman should give a fuck about that unless you've seen him in that position before and we haven't.

He never needed Klaw to get to Wakanda. He was purely a prop in the conflict between him and T'Challa
