What the fuck is a movie critic? How is this even a thing? It made sense when movies were brand new and the average person couldn't afford to watch all the movies, nor did they have any internet so they read the newspaper and read what professional movie critics had to say.
There is 0 need or room even for "movie critics" in 2026.
Rotten Tomatoes has always been trash, always. It was never good, ever. I've always found IMDB more reliable.
Yeah, the way that reviews are weighted on rotten tomatoes is terrible. I've encountered a lot of pretty dogshit movies on tubi that supposedly had a 95% RT rating. When I checked afterwards there was only 1 or two critic reviews and no written audience reviews.
