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. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:896449719] in Black Pant...
