I find the same thing. For example, the funniest movie I've ever seen is "Freddy Got Fingered". This is currently rated 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. And the most boring movie I've seen is "Lost In Translation", which is rated 95% there. In both cases I watched them because I liked the lead actor's previous work, and that's had a better success rate than trusting reviews.
- knowaveragejoe 11y agoI'm appalled that for someone out there, Freddy Got Fingered is the funniest movie they've ever seen. Likewise, that Lost In Translation is the most boring.
- mrob 11y agoNote that "funniest movie" isn't the same as "best comedy". It's merely the one that made me laugh the most. That's a very important attribute for judging comedy, but not the only one. Taking all aspects into account (how much I laughed, acting, memorable lines, cultural impact, cinematography, etc.) I would rate Ghostbusters as best.

- lmm 11y agoFreddy Got Fingered is famously divisive, much like Napoleon Dynamite. Many people hate it, some people really like it. If you have to boil that down to a single number 11% is fair, but if throws away a lot of information. Does the site give you a graph of the rating distribution, or even just the quartiles? That might be more informative.
