+80 Rotten Tomatoes is a terrible way to judge the quality of a film, amirite?

You can still read the individual critic reviews on RT, you dont have to just look at the percentage

You had me until you implied any sort of credibility with the Academy.

If you go to Rotten Tomatoes, look at the score and call it a day, you're the problem. All the reviews about a film are available to read yourself, with so many different POVs and one of them will definitely match yours.

RT works as a thumbs up/down aggregator. If every critic says the movie is slightly better than meh the RT score will be 100% positive. Thats all it takes. Beter than average = Positive. No one is saying that the movie itself is a 100% quality movie. RT should of course explain this better because most people think the tomato rating is the movie quality rating, when it is more like steams 'mostly positive'

It's always funny to me when a mild criticism is considered a dislike Like "the movie was very entertaining but the middle had some pacing issues" and it's got the splat logo next to it lol

Ehh honestly rotten tomatoes is always pretty accurate. The only thing it does bad is superhero movies, besides the dark knight trilogy, and the first iron man, none of them should be over a 60%. Way too over inflated.

People forget they can always watch the movie themselves if they're interested in it

Rotten tomatoes had rated such great movies so terribly. I never trust them

Rotten tomatoes does not rate movies. They are an aggregator. People still not understanding this in 2025 is astonishing.
