I can’t take this knee jerk response seriously. Why wouldn’t good movies be more worthwhile than bad movies? How is this even controversial?
- jazzyjackson 2y agoBecause whether a movie is good or not is not an objective, one dimensional thing that can be represented by a score on rotten tomatoes?
- crazygringo 2y agoIt's not perfect, but it's a very strong and useful signal. Never in my life have I seen something with 98% and thought, well that was a crap movie. And never in my life have I seen something with 35% and thought, that was amazing! It's more in the 75-90% range where you have to consider the "dimensionality" of the thing, like whether it's a genre you like, or which individual reviewers match your tastes more precisely.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoYeah I guess you're right, even the "so bad its good" movies get points for being campy and the love it / hate it reviews average out.
