This is garbage. Rotten Tomatoes are way too positive IMO. I have wasted good money on 95+/95+ movies only to find they were absolute rubbish. A good recent example is John Wick 2. I really like the first one, and based on the RT score I didn't think twice about going to watch the second. Only to find it was the most mind-numbing continuous violence I could even imagine, without the noir of the first one. And there were a string of similar movies that got unbelievable scores only to be absolutely average.
Yes some get terrible scores, and probably deserve it. But the worst crime is all these big blockbuster movies that are rated 98/99 and should be somewhere in the 60s or 70s.
My solution - just don't go to the movies, it has become an ongoing disappointment and waste of time. Wait for some critical YouTube reviews that actually analyse and explain in some depth why a movie is good or bad then maybe consider getting it on DVD or something.
