RottenTomatoes Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is marred by significant skepticism regarding the integrity of its ratings and reviews. Customers express concerns about perceived manipulation of scores and a lack of transparency, leading to distrust in the site's credibility. While some users appreciate the platform for its design and ease of access to information, many feel that professional critics dominate the discourse, often overshadowing genuine audience opinions. Additionally, frustrations arise from account management issues and the removal of negative reviews, which detracts from customer satisfaction and suggests a need for improved transparency and responsiveness in customer service.

I'll be short, I just wanted to say that I hate rotten tomatoes (horror) movie review site which is composed by allegedly horror movie expert veterans, who for the most part have absolutely not a clue what good horror movie looks like, or a bad one for that matter. They have absolutely no credibility, zero zilch, nada when it comes to horror movie opinions. I can't even consider seriously anything they say. And so in the world of horror movies, they shouldn't even have a say. Nobody should listen to them, they are pure trash to avoid like the plague. Apart from a tiny few exceptions of reviewers whom I agree with, each time I read their review previews makes me want to punch the wall and grab my machete and go for a walk around Camp Crystal Lake searching for new blood... Ironically, they don't know it yet, but the rotten tomatoes are all waiting for them.

I just won't watch a movie unless it has a solid rotten tomatoes review and rating. Popcorn ratings are good too but only when side by side. Nuff said!

I don't enjoy giving low rated reviews however Rotten Tomatoes users have no taste in good films, i can drop money and bet that if they praised a film, it is terrible, if they hate it i probably love it, in this ironic way it is helpful but not in the way it's intended, the reviews are often troll worthy, I have a hard time taking them seriously

For example their idea of a good film is recent Baby Driver (2017) which immediately starts out with the most awful background music I have ever encountered, it is literally torturous and Angel Egort as "baby" is immediately annoying, i can barely stand the first 10 minutes. Yet they have no problem slandering Fast And Furious or Transformers which by contrast have excellent choices in music such as rap, rnb, nu metal etc as opposed to blues, ska, reggae and are so much more cool, more sophisticated and action packed

The Tomato people appreciate the utterly abysmal It Follows horror film but have no problem slandering Some Kind Of Hate they review poorly with there strange opinion being that a film crammed with dialogue, boring character development and appeal to emotion fallacies are what i consider time wasted not getting to the point is more valuable than explosions and blood-shed. The lack of intelligent observation of the things that a film needs to be awesome is insult to my intelligence.

A lot of film critics are self-appointed, egotistical and more importantly clueless, they are completely out of touch and as aforementioned, very difficult to take the vast majority of the reviews on this site seriously having sat and watched what they praised compared to what they dislike, for me I believe the opposite is true.

Ok

Funny how some sites claim that Rotten Tomatoes is an unknown and unpopular website. They're pretty established with a huge database of movie reviews.

This site is excellent when it comes to rating anything from TV series to any movie. The reviews are accurate and trustworthy. It also allows for both top critics and average Joe to comment and rate any movie and takes into account your review.

Excellent site, wonderful layout and extremely informative.

Used it for study

I`m an international student and at first it was a bit hard for me to do some tasks. This site in particular helped me understand some movies (or just copy a review for the task, who am I tricking.). Anyway its pretty useful

Pretty lame
April 21, 2016

Once you make an account you cannot delete it. Plus, it isn't an online community as advertised. You need to be a registered professional reviewer to do anything of value on this website.

This site hasn't steered me wrong too many times, but we all have our own styles and opinions when it comes to what entertains us. I dig it.

Love this site as it informs me as to wether or not I may want to see a show or if I should totally avoid it. Saves me from wasting time on a rotten show!

Rottentomatoes is a great place to get movie reviews. I like how it takes in account both critics and real movie goers. I don't think I have ever not liked a movie that was well reviewed on rottentomatoes.

I like to check the reviews and stars on this site before buying a new Blu-ray. I don't usually go to the movies (no animals allowed) so I would like to get some idea before I buy..

If I'm in a look out to watch a movie or rent a dvd, this is the first site I will go to check on movie reviews. I like their ratings and the reviews. This saves me from money and time spent on watching a movie I most likely wouldn't enjoy.

I highly recommend to all movie fanatics to participate in their site.

I'm a bit of a movie snob, and time is scarce for me these days. That's why I always check out rottentomatoes before I commit 2 hours of my brain cycles to watching a movie. Typically I find the reviews to be right on - I now rarely watch movies rated under 75%. However, I do find the critics tend to give not so good artsy films higher ratings than they deserve. That can be double checked with the fan ratings. Its usually suspect when there is a huge discrepancy.

Overall, this site is very well designed and gives access to the info that I'm looking for very quickly.

Great site to read about movies before spending money going to see one or renting one.

However, I suggest reading many reviews, both from the community and from the well known reviewers since there will always be people who both like and dislike a movie. Multiple times I have seen a movie that had great reviews but thought it was awful and vice versa.

Good luck and hope you find a good one!

Been awhile since I reviewed something so let me show you this cool site

Amazing Site gives you reviews of movies coming out and lets you watch trailers, also "Theres an App for everything", YES there is a Rotten Tomatoes iPhone app (FREE).
The Site is very easy to navigate just search in the search bar and you will find a review for almost anything, ie Iron Man 2.
You can also sign up and follow critics, hmmm seems like this site except that one is for movies and this is for sites.
