Is this the wake up call that /tv/ needed to realize Rotten Tomatoes is unreliable? Seriously, before the capeshit redditors invaded everyone thought that the site was for plebs. I want to go back to that time.

RT IS TRUTH BRO.
BVS IS SHIT BECAUSE RT SAYS SO.
>Ghostcunters is fresh
RT HAS SPOKEN. GHOSTCUNTS IS PURE ECTOPLASMAKINO.
PATRIARCHY BTFO.
Let's just say...
I don't give a single crep about RT.
>>71848046
It's funny how RT is only ever reliable when it is convenient to you.
>hurr fantastic four is shit look at dem rotten tomato scores XD
>nah dude weak, ghostbusters is garbage!!
I always viewed it this way:
RT = mostly published critics
IMDB = mostly civilians
maybe I'm way off. but IMDB always seems to reflect my opinion, while RT always seems the opposite.
>>71851067
what you fail to realize is that 'published critics' are just as dumb as random critics. their life consists of sitting on their ass all day, watching tv and shitting on movies. do you value the opinion of such a person? i dont
i only watch movies that Armond White recommends
>>71848046
careful, SJW jannys will delete this thread if you talk shit about RT
Never thought it was reliable. Score about as high as expected.
>>71851218
sticking to one (or few) critics that you're familiar with is the best practice. when you disagree with them, it's easy to pinpoint where is the problem with the movie. sure, you might follow the hivemind. but i'd rather be bias than concurring with buzzfeed-tier reviewers
the only reliable reviewers are anti-sjw youtube vloggers who have never actually watched the movie.
>only reviewers and britbongs are reviewing it
No shit it's high, no one can watch it yet. The score will take a fucking nosedive as it goes on.
>>71851326
Name one.
>>71851361
"skeptical bobby the logical reasonable person who will re-enforce your agenda regardless of actual facts"
>>71851067
>IMDB always seems to reflect my opinion
Plebes must leave.
>>71851394
trying too hard
>>71848046
>buzzfeed
>top critic
>>71848046
It's completely reliable for what it's supposed to be, but what it is has never been very useful for a kinophile
yeah
No one gave a shit about RT until Marvel fags kept plastering their generic disney capeshit scores all over as "proof" the movies aren't just forgettable cliche filled cash grabs designed to entertain small children.
>>71851467
That's very unfortunate.
What about Metacritic? RT is easily skewed because it summarizes all reviews as basically a 1 or a 0. Metacritic actually measures quality. A 98% on RT might be a 72% on MC because the film was universally good, but only good, while a consensus classic might be an 85% on RT because of a few edgy critics.
>>71851067
IMDb is the pleb consensus. But this actually makes it useful for determining how enjoyable a film is. Shawshank Redemption and the Dark Knight aren't the greatest films of all time (although most GOAT films are in their top 250), and arguably not of much substance, but few would disagree they aren't pretty damn enjoyable.
>>71851477
that's not even true lol
it's always been the only review site anyone cared about for the last 15 years
This is fucking hilarious
>/v/ babbies pretending they're /tv/
>/v/ babbies pretending they weren't waiting all fucking week for this to be rotten
>/v/ babbies ignoring this morning and their countdown to it being blown out by critics
ADORABLE
>>71851526
>ever caring about review sites
your reddit is showing
>>71848046
>he is still mad about BvS
>>71851552
>it's a newfag blames disagreement on the /v/ bogeyman episode
the problem with rt mainly is how people don't understand how it works.
>>71851526
fucking newfag. RT has been ragged on so much it was barely i mean fucking barely talked about in here until BvS. It was generally looked down by /tv/ as a pleb meter. well until mahvelfags started spamming that shit site
>>71851326
>>71851394
Where is the new video Hbomb, I want to see you make fun of people whining about Fembusters already.
>>71851526
>caring about a review site where Buzzfeed is considered as top critic
>>71851493
>What about Metacritic?
>>71848046
>>71851467
>>71851725
but they were right
look
>>71848046
RottenTomatoes is only as reliable as the people who contribute to it. Sometimes critics have very dubious opinions on things and you wonder why they're in the line of work they are. Three years on, I'm still flabbergasted how well they rated Star Trek Into Darkness.
>>71851807
so GB is now rotten?
surprise! i still don't care about binary score aggregate reviewing system.
Giving Ghostbusters a negative review is career suicide for "professional" critics. They will be branded as misogynists for the rest of their lives.
I always found amazing how people that despise RT simply forget the worst reviewers there have watched more films than anyone on /tv/.
Idiots are looking at one number and thinking critics are going insane for this movie. Look at the disparity between top and all critics and also the subpar average score for both.
>>71851910
so you don't care about it. fine. why do you want others to stop caring?
>>71851807
>>71851959
I still don't understand the difference between all critics and top critics. I mean, if someone from buzzfeed can be a top critic then I don't think it means that much, huh.
>>71848046
>I want to go back to that time.
I want to go back to the time when the Rotten Tomatoes forums had good traffic and there was plenty of great film discussion
>>71851959
>>71851959
>>71851959
ohhhh shit
i didnt notice that
fuck the shills hide the legit reviews behind this bullshit
>>71848046
I always knew that Rotten Tomatoes was unreliable when they gave Adventureland and 86%, that was among the worst movies I've ever seen. I go to them for a general idea but I don't have complete trust in them
>>71851939
oh fuck did you seriously think you could just say this and not get called out?
>>71852012
The guy from buzzfeed is still a professional reporter. Not some dude with a blog.
>>71851552
Don't forget /sp/ , faggots
/sp/ was the FIRST cancer, then came /v/
>>71851998
because RT is a fallacious argument that has been used more and more, even in /tv/. i care because i don't want capeshits to be considered a masterpiece because RT said so instead of using better reason
>>71852131
>buzzfeed
>professional reporter
>>71852147
>/sp/ was the first cancer
its cute how jelly /tv/ is at their big brother /sp/ for being the best board here in 4chan. what a fucking lloser
It sounds like all the reviewers played it safe.
They effectively gave this thing a C- rather than jump in front of the SJW train.
Sad. The fans will speak with wallets though.
>>71852189
She is, living in denial doesn't help.
If anything, all the other critics disagree with her.
Not defneding this movie in any way. But why are people mad that people actually enjoy a movie that you don't or due to the reasons. Let it be. Don't watch it. Don't support it. Let others enjoy if they wish.
>>71852232
>fans
there's barely any fans for Ghostbusters. its a relic of the 80's and the original cast was the one that made it big. i really hope this one goes into -$400M just to fuck up producers that making a shitty remake won't net you any money no matter how hard you shout MY SOGGY KNEE
Is it just not even possible that this movie isn't that bad?
>>71852341
Kek
Do you know where you are?
>>71852460
I always felt it was going to be painfully mediocre.
Not horrible.
I was proven right.
It's not even close to Ghostbusters II in quality.
>>71852341
It's reactionary. It's one thing to think a movie is is a piece of shit, a whole 'nother ball-game to be told you are a misogynist or a man baby for having that opinion. The film has become a hot-button issue
So naturally when the reviews start coming out people will wonder if someone is being honest or is giving it a free pass to avoid negative attention, that or just a liberal feminist liking it because of the "you go girl!" mentality
>>71848046
If you haven't seen the movie you have absolutely no basis for thinking it is bad
I feel like I'm talking to teenagers when I need to explain this
>>71851629
>i shill for reddit sensibilities
LOL
>>71848046
>Samantha Bee @ 100%
>Ghostbusters fresh
>The Farce Awakens over 90%
>not a single MCU movie rotten
RT has always been shit, but it's just become so much more obvious now.
>>71849902
Based plebtap putting the plebs in their place
>>71848046
Just stop paying attention to this shitty website.
How hard is it?
Stop paying attention to and replying to shitposts who use it as if it's indicative of the quality of a movie.
