Personally I like to look at https://www.cinemascore.com/ https://www.cinemascore.com/ as I tend to trust audience surveys a touch more than the critics. I do look at Rotten Tomatoes also. The problem with RT to me is that if all the critics are slightly negative than it gets 0%, all slightly positive it is 100%. The percentage score isn't really nuanced on how bad or how good the movie is. At least that is how my understanding of how the system works.
One of the worst cases for me was the movie Drive: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/drive_2011 https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/drive_2011
Terrible movie in my opinion, but critics just loved it so 93% RT positive. But Cinemascore gave it a C-, which is a terrible score and the way I felt.
- aktau 9y agoJust an odd note, I agree with a lot of the comments on this thread, but I thought Drive was a fantastic movie. I saw it in the cinema and remember my heart was rushing from all the emotion after seeing it. I could hear the soundtrack in my head for days afterwards (it may be the best part of the movie for me). Drive's easily in my top 10 of the last decade. Maybe my taste is just strange.
