Rotten Tomatoes Reviews 245

Won’t be using Rotten Tomatoes ever again. I had been suspicious for a few years about how some objectively terrible films had such high ratings.

And now we know that Disney and other companies have been manipulating the site.

Time to shut it down.

I sure don't trust those one-star reviews... just annoyed people, not a fair rating. Still, they have a deceitful Cookie policy and you have so much to read to disable them (when it could be easier, if they chose) that I will never revisit their site... back to IMDB, I guess.
Done with sites that demand I accept Cookies or make it difficult to deny them.

Let me just add to the already scathing reviews that rotten tomatoes must have been paid to give "The Royal Hotel" a great review. I made it halfway through the film, and can hardly imagine a less imaginative plot. By now, anyone who doesn't know that women are vulnerable to sex-deprived, extremely drunk men, has their head in the sand. The subject hardly deserves further exploration, as almost anyone will so stipulate to this fact. The fact that the film is getting as much publicity as it is can only be explained by bribes.

Rotten Tomatoes arbitrarily deletes my reviews, all of which are well within the guidelines of acceptability, even when they agree with the general consensus about a movie or TV series, all with no explanation. I suspect that some broken AI algorithm is involved. It makes for an aggravating and frustrating experience, where I can't review the films and shows I most care about reviewing.

Garbage reviews by corrupt critics. User reviews are better, but people compensate for the absurd review by the critics who are some of the worst humans in our society.

Refusal to comply with a GDPR Erasure Request and an insistence for me to phone them up, which I don't want them to do. Have not provided a complaints point of contact, and I will be raising an official complaint with the ICO in due course.

A completely compromised review site that simply cannot be trusted

Rotten Tomatoes is nothing but a woke company pushing an agenda. They will give genuinely good movies with great stories a below average score because it lacks minorities, but throw in a terrible storyline and a couple of black LGBTQ characters and they'll give it 100%.

*Update, they have now been accused of accepting bribes to manipulate film scores.

Rotten Tomatoes has to be the worst movie rating company out there. My experience is that almost every time I see a low score from Rotten Tomatoes and a relatively good score from Google, the Google rating is 100% more accurate.

Rotten Tomatoes is not a reliable review source for series or movies. You will find ridiculous scores that make no sense to what you find good or bad. Why? It’s most likely a scam where these people are paid.

I always check Rotten Tomatoes before I watch a film.
I’m very discriminating and don’t want to waste my time. If it’s 90% or above I watch. If it’s in the 80’s I read the reviews (critics only) and decide. Below that I won’t waste my time. The only time I disagreed was with Oppenheimer. I found it choppy (my teenage grandson kept asking me what was happening) and the soundtrack was overwhelming. Also, a wasted opportunity to not show more of the beautiful sets and costumes of that era. I concluded that it wouldn’t be woke to not like it.

Rotten Tomatoes is an absolute joke, don't judge any pre-watch decisions on this because its completely inaccurate.

Are you tired of wasting valuable time on a website that simply can't be trusted? Look no further than this site, a prime example of unreliability when it comes to movie reviews. It's a complete letdown, consistently failing to deliver accurate and unbiased assessments. As numerous reviewers have rightly pointed out, they've experienced the frustration of having their negative reviews conveniently swept under the rug while only positive feedback is showcased. Don't fall for their charade of fake ratings and manufactured reviewers. It's time to take a stand against this dishonesty and seek out platforms that prioritize transparency and authenticity. Choose wisely and make well-informed decisions about the movies you watch. Your time and opinions deserve better than this unreliable mess.

Nothing I can say about them that hasn't already been said a thousand times. Absolutely the worst site for reviews.

Very difficult to write a negative review and have it actually post. OTOH, you see dozens and dozens of obviously fake "positive" reviews.

Rotten Tomatoes is simply advertising for big companies.

I'm tired of movie review sites hiding fake bad reviews and leaving up fake good reviews. We all know at this point that bots and less than scrupulous individuals are intentionally being used to "bomb" reviews. However they do so both negatively and positively, Rotten Tomatoes is hiding reviews in bad faith to artificially inflate scores and thus make Disney more money. We the viewers then get tricked into seeing a movie that is simply not good. Many people use reviews to judge whether or not to go see a movie, personally I think it should be illegal to manipulate reviews to trick people out of their hard earned money.

for years and years Rotten Tomatoes has been my go to cite for movie reviews. But I have to say Rotten Tomatoes is clearly compromised. Deleting bad reviews, not showing the 1 star reviews and many many fake first time reviewers who give toxic movies 5 star reviews.

Past few days i am getting following message on Rotten Tomatoes....

"We're sorry, but your browser isn't supported". Both in Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Both browsers are uptodate and the OS is updated. Its very annoying.

I am unable to access Rotten Tomatoes on any browser. Each attempt lands me on a page with the error, "We're sorry, but your browser isn't supported. To enjoy RottenTomatoes.com, try using a newer browser like Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox." The problem is that I did use Google Chrome and Mozilla and landed on the same error message.
