You have to question these reviews when they say the audiences gave Melania a 98% score, and critics gave it 13%. If you've seen it you'll know there is no chance at all that 98% of audiences actually... See more

Unreliable. Their reviews seem to be biased. I don't understand how the Michael movie got low ratings.

RT brought in woke reviewers for "diversity"

The reviews aren't fake. It has to do with the identity politics of the reviewers.

Chato, who has a YouTube channel and worked in the movie industry, did a video about it.

A couple of years ago, when critic scores closely matched audience scores, Rotten Tomatoes did an internal audit and decided that its reviewers were too white and too male. You know, the kind of people who built Hollywod?

So they brought in diversity, quota reviewers who know nothing about great moviemaking and only care about pushing their narrative.

The same woke crowd making the lousy movies is now reviewing them.

No, Rotten Tomatoes can no longer be trusted. I no longer use it as a resource, only as an example of whats wrong with American culture.

Never trust rotten tomatoes

Feels like these paid reviewers have no dignity in their job... They overpraise all those trash movies meanwhile real movie fans dislike it, that's why they lost all credibility... real movie watchers never trust this lame website.

I have seen the reviews of Rotten…

I have seen the reviews of Rotten Tomatoe. Based on the majority of their reviews, I myself do not pay them any attention when I am deciding what movie to watch as 98% of the movie I love, they given a very low rating. 99 % of the movies I did not care for, they gave very high ratings. Therefore, I find Rotten Tomatoe to be extremely useless in determining what movies are good or bad. What movies I should watch or not watch.

Plus, I have never cared for movie credits as they generally have absolutely no real experience in the entertainment business, so how can they honestly make a living off of rate movies, TV shows, ect.

That goes the same for any credit. I just do not bother with them.

For example, Rotten Tomatoe gave this wonderful, positive movie 40% rating: The Girl Who Believed In Miracles.

Now, I am not really religious, but I do have faith in a higher power. I most definitely believe in Miracles as well as have faith. Especially in these trying time in America; across the world. We all can use a bit of inspiration, so I do not in the foggiest understand how Rotten Tomatoe can rate this wonderful and uplifting movie a 40%

As I stated above, Rotten Tomatoe has absolutely no bearing on my movie selection!!!

Fake accounts

I find it strange that so many shows and movies have myriads of 10/10 reviews from users that has only posted one review ever.

Literally don't allow real people to review movies. I tried several times and get email verification sent and it just puts me in an endless loop, I emailed them and they have never replied. The site is fraud. Compare ratings to IMBD it’s very clear.

We’re moving ever closer to an Orwellian world. Rewriting history to fit agendas and policing what people say and how we think. RT is one great example of a media platform altering peoples opinions based on agenda. You can’t critique a film that’s controversial no matter how unbiased your opinion is.

Sad times...

Like most of Hollywood , Rotten Tomatoes has become an agenda driven plattform. It´s a shame that the industry that gave us so many great times has become a left wing propaganda factory.

Is it me or do Rotten Tomato "reviewers" tend to give top marks for films that could be considered woke? It just seems to me that if any film is to do with a social justice, no matter how awful the film is, RT's will give it a high score.

Rotten Tomatoes is useless thanks to botting

Rotten tomatoes has been a terrible indicator of the quality of a movie for some time now. This is largely due to reliance on professional critics that measure a movie through the lens of woke culture rather than entertainment value. However, the audience score was still a reliable and effective metric, one which I frequently used. At least until "The Woman King".
The 99 percent audience score was a huge red flag, but certainly possible. Yet after looking at the reviews you find the most transparent case of botting in the history of movie reviews. Almost (roughly 99 percent) of the reviews are extremely generic one line reviews that could be applied to any movie. No specific details, no reference to scenes, actors, or plot points just ambiguous statements like "great movie" or "outstanding, must watch". What is equally damning is the lack of critical audience reviews considering there are a plethora of them on competing review sites.

It is possible the culprit behind the botting is a third party such as the studio, an investor or even simply an agenda driven organization with a vested interest in the film's success. However, Rotten Tomatoes most certainly has the ability to recognize and remove botted reviews. We know this because they constantly tell us. That leaves us to wonder why RT would allow a flood of reviews that are so transparently fake, destroying the site's last remaining ounce of credibility.

RT is to movies as Pravda was to news.
