If I get this right? One critic - fresh or rotten
100 critics 78 of them givie it less then 50- a rotten tomato, the film rates 28% with critics.

So films like Batman v Superman and Warcraft gets crap reviews cause they don't live up the the hype and that critics all in all don't like this kind of film.

Why does anyone care about the rotten tomatoes critic score? Seems imdb rating is more acurate towards if a film is worth watching or not.

but Rotten Tomatoes does have the average reviewer score underneath the %. so Batman V Superman is a 4.9 on RT.

so its score is really 49%.

>>70743350
no, it's rotten tomatoes score is 27% as in 27/100 critics recommend the film
it's average score is 4.9/10

The system is fine, the critics weren't hyped for BvS because it's a Man of Steel sequel and that had poor reviews too. If they made BvS better than Man of Steel the critics would of gave it more generous ratings

The hype for Warcraft had nothing to do for its critic ratings, most credits don't play the game so they really didn't have anything to be hyped about. The main reason its going to underperform in the US is because the Warcraft fad has died down here, its much more popular overseas.

you were trying to claim the score should be 49% when it's only the average rating

Reviewers think they are fancy people liking oscar bait, looking down on films for regular people. Except for Marvel films for some reason.. ???

Batman v Superman- beautiful,exciting, but rushed and there were some bad decitions made, overall good film.

Warcraft- fun actionpacked light film

Turtles 2- actionpackedx film with humor and cartoony stuff, made for kids enjoyable for adults that liked it was kids and understand it's a film for kids with a retared plot.
>>
>>70743529
because note how earlier marvel films (excluding IM1) got much worse reviews than the newer marvel films now? because now that marvel is so normiecore and EVERYONE loves the movies, critics are too scared to bash them even a little, so they just give them all good ratings to seem like they still know what makes a good movie

>>70743252
Rotten Tomatoes features 3 ratings:
A tomatomer which gives the percentage of favorable reviews

Average Rating-the average score of all reviews

Audience Score-which percentage of audience liked it

The audience score is directly comparable to IMDB.

IMDB rating are unreliable, fanboys inflate the ratings and many films have 9.5 ratings before they are even screened for critics.

the reason why many films have 9.5 is because they were just released. after a month or so when it stabilizes it's a more or less accurate score. tell me how many movies out there have an imdb score of 9.5 right now? I find IMDB more akin to my taste than rt, most of the time that is.

Nice comparison m8, but this isn't a school grade.
On the RT system it isn't a grading system of how good something is, it's the percentage of recommendations it got.
Even if a film is recommended by over half the people who rated it, it's still rotten.
That doesn't make any sense.

>>
>>70744032
Typically for a normal distribution the average score is 70, with a standard deviation of 10 which means any score from 60-80 is deemed average.

I don't know if movie reviews follow a normal distribution but they probably, so even if half the critics recommend a film it still its still bad because the average film released would have 3 quarters of critics recommending it
>>
>>70743252
The biggest problem is that 99% dont even watch the movie. You can read each review and see key buzz words and exact same pros/cons, almost word for word, praising or bashing the same things. The way things are worded you can tell its someone that read another persons review and parrot it.

How do you qualify as a """critic""" anyway. As typified by the thousands of Millennial core threads about Youtube """celebs""", there seems to be no barrier to entry other than a total lack of dignity, self respect and decency.

>>70745150
Typically anyone who reviews movies for major newspapers and magazines, although RT also consider some bloggers and people who reviews movies for websites as critics.

I personally wouldn't consider anyone who isn't paid to give their reviews as a credit

>IMDB rating are unreliable, fanboys inflate the ratings and many films have 9.5 ratings before they are even screened for critics.

IMDB is unrealiable because it treats click ratings the same as reviews.

Look at TFA, for example. The user reviews are mostly about how bad it is, but the click factor overwhelms them.

Maybe it's just a personal thing, I guess. If someone recommended a film to me, I thought it looked interesting and I saw that 50% of people liked it, I'd give it a shot.

>>70745636
>Proving you didn't understand the movie

Today's mass audience only want to see spectacle. They expected Man of Steel fight scenes x10 but with Batman. What they instead got was a character driven piece of art dedicated to those who see the big picture in terms of what these characters represent (man and God). It is a critique on society, politics, religion, and most importantly, ourselves.

Name 1 other big budget movie that does that as implicitly and exceptionally as BvS did. Answering with Star Wars because of "muh Nazis" and the "force" is laughable.

You can't seriously be this deluded right? If that were the case they'd all get 100% on the tomatometer.

I haven't even seen single entire capeshit film yet. Only trailers and posters. It just makes me sick to the stomach.

the problem with RT at least on here is that most don't know how to interpret the score. It doesn't show how high a movie was rated by a critic only if the critic liked it/would recommend it. So 5 barely positive reviews equals the same as 5 reviews loving the film - 100%. This is where it gets flawed if you take the score as a measure of quality not what it really is - the percentage of a bunch of hobby critics and amateur bloggers that would recommend the movie. So don't get me wrong that is a valuable information but it's not a professional critics consensus if you want a score representative of that, metacritic would be the better choice
>>
It's really simple:

If a film can gross $500,000,00 it means it caters to the lowest common denominator, insults your intelligence and is generally not worth your time.

>>
>>70743252
>RT
Has audience score, critic percentage and critic average score. You have to be retarded to be confused like that.

>Metacritic
Has critic average score. Pretty straight forward.

>IMDB
Maybe if you take each score, remove the 10s and 1s from the fanboys and the haters, maybe then you would have something that resembles a legitimate score.


Nevertheless, you shouldn't take any of those into consideration, after you have your own opinion of the movie. Follow any specific critics you trust, use that only to decide whether to see a movie or not waste your time.

But here's another thing. You can like a movie, any movie. You can like shit for all I care. But if you like something and have to be an edgelord because other people, even more so most people, don't like it (or reverse), then you're a fucking retard, end of story.
tl;dr: a lot of people on this board are retarded
>>
>>70744045


So your point is that yes, IMDB scores can't be used seriously during a movie's theatrical run but somehow that's not a problem? Fuck off.

they are butthurt because they can't handle the banter from Marvelfags. The simple fact that is right now, Marvelfags are gettting exactly what they wan. There are at least three new movies everyone year, could be something small scale like ant-man or some epic like GotG. Sure, there is a similar tone running through all of their movies but there's still some range.

With DC movies you only really get grimdark Batman or grimdark Superman. Maybe they'll get a grimdark justice league movie, maybe.
>>
>>70746979
Don't forget grimdark Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad, a movie about villains that seems way more light-hearted than the superhero movies, but still fairly grimdark.

Movie websites have bias, just like political and news websites, so find a website that's in tune with your sensibilities towards film, and follow that. This is part of the success and popularity of reviewers like Red Letter Media and the Nostalgia Critic; they outline clearly their likes and dislikes about films, and if you feel you have a lot in common, you can trust reviews to be relevant to you. Populist reviewing is dying and deserves to die frankly, just like populist news reporting. People should be critically minded enough to understand the context of any given opinion.
