But Metacritic is more reliable for ratings than RT, because RT's rating system makes zero sense.
How so? Anything 50% and lower is rotten.
The problem is that nothing's weighted, so to speak. A borderline positive review still counts in the positive column, rather than MC which would it assign it a value of, say, 6. RT sees a 6 and a 10 as the same thing, whereas MC assigns them different values.
It's not just that.
Rotten Tomato doesn't average the scores of movies, it averages the opinions. It sees whether or not the review was positive or negative, and that is the ENTIRE basis for rating.
Metacritic gives the actual average score of a movie.
