I realize not many reviews are in yet, but the relative rating to percentage math doesn't even seem like it should possible.
It makes sense if you're not retarded.

do you understand how RT works? the 75% score is just the number of critics who didn't explicitly dislkie the movie
>>67964056
It's really simple.
Of 24 reviews 18 gave the film a passing grade (at least 6 out of 10). Or 75% of all reviewers.
But if the positive reviews were all barely a pass (a 6) and all the negative reviews were barely a fail (a 4) then you'd get an average score of 5.5 (18*6 = 108, 6*4 = 24, 108 + 24 = 132, 132 / 24 = 5.5)

Thanks guys. I know how it works. That's why I said it doesn't *seem like* it should be possible.
Comparatively, The Hateful 8 also has a 75% fresh rating, but a 7.3/10 average rating. So, what I meant was that a 75% fresh rating on a movie with a 5.5/10 average rating seems incredibly unlikely.
>>67964247
Yep, films with mixed reactions do very badly on the RT system, films with all-round ok reactions do very well.

Meanwhile, this movie has an average rating of 6/10, but a 54% rotten score.
I'm trying to illustrate the unlikelihood of a movie having a low average rating, but a high fresh score, and how unfair Hardcore Henry's fresh rating seemingly is.
>>67964056
I assume this is the average consensus by critics.
What's annoying is that a review will be counted as Rotten or Fresh even if it's a borderline review with a mix of pros and cons.

You could probably fit every paid "film critic" in the world into one football stadium if you stacked up the bodies
After that it's just a matter of how much gasoline you brought

How can one fanbase be so impossibly retarded?

Because there's only so many times you can see 'critics' like Mark Kermode say "I didn't understand the plot, it's incomprehensible" when the title of the film is "BATMAN V SUPERMAN" and not want to give him a Mandela Necklace

It's essentially a matter of happenstance.
the Hateful eight had 25% of its reviews done by contrarians who gave it like a 4 to be edgy, but every other review is like a 8-9 so it cancels out at 7.3.
Meanwhile this movie probably had ALL of its reviews in or around the 5.5 mark, the majority probably gave it a 6 or something like that other anon said.

People giving extremely low scores.
The percentage is based on the amount of people. So if a few people give really bad scores it pulls the average down without screwing with the tomatometer much.
>>67964730
If the tone is "eh it has good points but it's a meh/crap movie" then yes, dumbass.
because average scores are retarded and you shouldn't care. just look at what kind of cancer hole metacritic is and these tomatoes are the same fucking thing.
>>67964056
keep rotten tomatoes and metacritic out of your life and like whatever you wanna like, and hate whatever you wanna hate. you'll lead a better life
oh look, its the hourly "i don't know how RT works" thread.
