Rotten Tomatoes is the Electoral College to Metacritic's popular vote. For all the things bad about the Electoral College, one good thing about it is that it produces more definitive results. It's a lot easier to make a decision to go see a 96% RT movie than a 8.1 MC and conversely, to avoid a 12% RT movie vs a 4.1 MC. If I'm looking for nuance, I'll got to metacritic but if I'm just looking as a gut check, the RT score is much more helpful.
