Also worth mentioning how the Tomatometer is calculated: reviewer's scales (be it some number of stars, a 1 to 10 rating, a letter grade, etc) are quantized down to being either "positive" (1) or "negative" (0), and then, they are averaged to a percentage. One issue with this method is that middling reviews have more effect than they should. For example, if 100 reviewers all thought a movie was 51% good, the Tomatometer would read 100%. And, conversely, with just a two point difference, if they all thought it was 49%, the Tomatometer would be 0%. In both circumstances, the Tomatometer would probably not represent how the reviewers felt about the movie.
