I've suspected that RT is manipulated for a long time and that's why i don't go there or care. It reminds me of the old days of ACN when all you had to do was give Harry Knowles a present and your movie was praised and praised.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Maybe but it seems suspect of hyperbole too, Thor Ragnarok is resting at 92 percent. That's a solid, fun movie but i'm not sure I'd suggest it is near perfection.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Well, the flaw in RT is that there's no gray area. If you read the Thor reviews, they run from pretty good to great, with most testing in the good range. For Justice League, there are a lot of okay reviews that are still deservedly rated as rotten. If there was a "meh" section, a lot of movies would fall into that category, not really good, but not really bad either. Justice League has a lot of those type reviews, so while the consensus is rotten, it's not really rotten (though I lean toward more rotten, myself). Justice League didn't fall into what I call the Sandler zone (15% or less). That's where I have found the truly awful movies lie, such as most Adam Sandler movies, hence the name. Everything from around 20 to 65% is a crapshoot.Comment

Yeah, I think it's a seriously flawed system, not empirical in any way and seems prone to human interference.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Well, honestly it kills movies nowadays. Everyone checks it now and if a movie gets bad reviews, even if they are mixed, such as Justice League, they stand little chance. RT was a huge positive at first as it seemed to help movies that got great reviews, but now it is the reverse. The international market doesn't see me to car about RT scores yet, at least.Comment

Oh man, it killed the Tom Cruise Mummy movie and the Dark Universe for sure.
Yeah, the movie is mundane and a real pot boiler but I'd reserve that rating for something that you see the boom mic a few times in. The audience score on that one (and many others) is more realistic.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Agreed on that one. It was decent. Sometimes you can tell people are ready to hate a movie before it comes out. That was one of them. Depp's Lone Ranger was similar. I thought it was a decent movie, but people were ready to pounce in that one due to wacky Depp fatigue.Comment
