So apparently they're doing away with the average X/10 rating from critics and focusing solely on critics/audiences liking or disliking (AKA the Tomatometer)
Basically, it means that if 100% of critics give a film a 6/10, it's still presented as a 100% positive film.
Thoughts?
>Basically, it means that if 100% of critics give a film a 6/10, it's still presented as a 100% positive film.
So basically how it's always been?
Fucking brainlets like you never understood RT.
If you click more info you can see the average rating..
even more reason to just use metacritic
So nothing changes?
>misunderstands
>calls other brainlets
kek
I know it's always been like that, but I've always looked at the average rating and from what said, it's like they're hiding it
>Describes changes to RT
>They're actually exactly how RT has always worked
Fucking brainlet.
Why does anyone even care what critics rate it or what awards it receives? Just watch a movie if it looks interesting to you.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the "Average rating" thing, it's always the percentage which is front and centre.
I agree, but most audiences are brainlets and hiding the average rating seems like manipulating them even more
I don't think they are hiding it. Maybe it's to make it easier to view the average rating on mobile since before you could only see the percentage.
That's a good point. Ok, thread over. Everyone disperse
>Reading critic reviews
90% of the reviews are pretentious long winded rants using the longest words possible to describe everything.
Just give me your scores and fuck off m8.
Why is RT more popular than Metacritic anyway?
You are naive
You know most people look only at the percentage anyway. This doesn't really change anything.
It does. Many people still looked at the average rating, especially in recent years when any passable movie that marvel or Disney shits out gets a 90+ rating but something like a 6.2/10 average rating. This tells people that it's more than likely just more run of the mill bullshit that you will forget in a week. At first glance, now all 90+ films are rated equally.
Now rt doesn't even give you a chance to make that distinction.
Critics don't give numerical ratings for films like they do for video games, so assigning an exact score to each review is harder than just asking whether or not they liked it
>I NEED TO VALUATE MY OPINIONS ON TOY COMMERCIALS ON JEWS
because studios use the fucking rotten tomatoes score in their ads like it actually means something
>see the film that got 100% certfied fresh on RottenTomatos!
