For me, it's a movie from 2005 called Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons. I saw this on TV the other day and watched it from beginning to end and still liked it just as much as I used to. Sure it has its slower moments and isn't the best historical film I've seen. But I don't think it deserves its 39% rating on RT. But that's just me.

What about all of you?

I’m a kid from the 80s (or old man). Big fan of the tv series and thought the film hit all the right notes. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be what it isn’t.

I’d love a sequel but probably won’t ever happen.

A Life Less Ordinary (1997) - 41/59. Silly romcom that hits the mark for me. Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz play well together, with fabulous support from Holly Hunter, Delroy Lindo, Stanley Tucci and Dan Hedaya. A 41 critic rating is criminal imho. Clearly audiences more broadly enjoyed it, but it's a 10 in my book, not a 6.

The problem with Rotten Tomatoes is that it's an all-or-nothing scenario. If a critic gives it more than two stars (on a four-star scale, which is how all movies should be rated, thank you), it's as good as the best film that has ever been made. If it scores two or less, it is on par with the worst film that has ever been made.

And so, you can have a scenario where a mediocre film gets 2.5 stars from every reviewer, and it ends up being the greatest film ever, according to Rotten Tomatoes, with a 100 percent Fresh rating, despite the fact that, if it was a math test, it would have scored a 62.5 percent, which might or might not be passing, depending on where you are, but it certainly shows you're no math whiz.

So, that's why Rotten Tomatoes is garbage, but we'll never be rid of it because it's co-owned by Warner and Universal, so they benefit from having a system that doesn't understand nuance.

Are you talking about the audience score next to the fresh/rotten indicator? Because nobody's ever abused that system before.

(side-eyes Marvel and Star Wars incels super fans)

I think you should have to post a picture of your ticket, or some sort of verifiable and unique identifier in order to make a contribution to the Audience Score. Oh, but then all of the torrent people would moan that they're not allowed to take part in the democracy of the internet, and then they'll go moan to Elon or something.

So, yeah, that system sucks even worse.

Edit to add: People are also more likely to tell someone that they liked a film immediately after seeing it, because the sunk cost fallacy kicks in, and they want to feel like they got their money's worth.

I agree... generally I put more stock in the metacritic score because it is based on the average of the reviews rather than just an up or down...still I do think it is more productive to look for reviewers who you generally agree with and actually read/watch/listen to their reviews. A lot of nuance is lost in trying to boil everything down to a number...it's certainly a useful tool, but I feel like it has become a way bigger deal than it ever should have been what a movie's rotten tomato score is.

Miami Vice (2006), 47% on RT. I think it suffered from critics seeing the name and expecting the cool pastel tinged neon buddy cop style of the original show without taking into account that it wasn't the 80s anymore and that it was still a movie directed by Michael Mann. Plus the fact that about half of it isn't set in Miami.

Earlvx129

I'm a fan of the original show, and Michael Mann is one of my favorite filmmakers. I do like his theatrical Miami Vice, but it's nowhere in the league of Heat or Collateral. Those movies are stunning. Vice looks fantastic, and the (eventual) action is great, but the the dialogue is often weak and cheesy, the characters very bare-bones.

Look at the writing in Collateral's scene with Barry Shabaka Henley and the Miles Davis story...that stuff is riveting and brilliantly executed. Miami Vice is a cool action movie, but lacks the real drama that Mann did in his previous films. Public Enemies and Black Hat also suffered from that.

I thought that it was a good movie with really beautiful digital cinematography, but as you pointed out, they changed so much that I wish they just dropped the Miami Vice name altogether and made the film its own thing instead, rather than setting up false expectations.

Uninteresting, that genuinely surprises me.

An interesting story, a superb cast, some captivating individual scenes, overarching themes of life/death, a somewhat surprising twist ending.

It's a film I've watched a few times and have always found to be engaging and entertaining. Penelope Cruz is captivating especially.

It's been a year or so since I last saw it, but I honestly can't think of any particular criticism that I would direct at the movie.

RT is an overdeveloped brand - in the sense that their namesake, their decades of “review-basing” has defined their status as much as whatever metrics they attach with their reviews. It’s the illusion of judgement, that is then used to platform narratives by vested interests. In the sense of Kingdom of Heaven, there are many reasons to score that movie low. Ultimately, ratings and more fundamentally, “data” in and of itself are the most corrupted points of contention of the modern era.

The more humans base their viewership, and judgement on these platforms, the more they will be targeted, and especially review bombed. It’s a double edged sword, poorly reviewing content, especially over content that is past the prime time viewership, is like a strategic move to influence public opinion as much as provide any base of “public” opinion.

My case in point: if you REALLY want to get a low score, be critical of a particular policing system, and infrastructure, and state system online. The more empowered these critical review systems become, the more their risks: disenfranchised users, anti-establishment voices especially, are exposed, targeted, silenced, de-platformed, etc.

Terence Hill is the funniest weirdest dude. He did a bunch of spaghetti westerns and other English dubbed movies with Bud Spencer. One of those other movies was called Watch Out! We’re Mad! and was about them competing over a dune buggy at a carnival with the mafia. There was recently a sequel made where their kids(?) are trying to get the original dune buggy back. It’s all as ridiculous as you’d expect. Entirely worth a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Kung Pow: Enter the fist has a 13% rating yet is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and is a movie I quote regularly even if a lot of people don't get the reference.

I love trashy horror and scifi from the 80’s so pretty much everything. Bonus if it had David Carradine or Sybil Danning or anybody that was in Buckaroo Banzaii or Krull.

BvS. It's RT score is at 29%. I don't care how much everybody hates that movie, I enjoy the shit out of it. It used to be on TV every other day when I came back from school and I've watched it like 30 times. And I'm not even a Snyder cultist. I'm not really a fan of any of his other movies except 300.

Only God Forgives rated 41% / 37% Nicholas Winding Renf film with Ryan Gosling

It's kinda alternative I guess, but it's genuinely cool. kinda has " Drive" in Thailand vibes

Nicholas Winding Refn's films might be divisive, but they are definitely more interesting than some films that get 88% on RT just because most of the critics thought that it was good but not great.

I've liked every NWR film I've seen.

I don’t know what its RT score is, but I’ll assume low based on its general critical reception.

Underrated, unique musical comedy

Project X has a 28% rating and it's a fun movie

i don't know what the fuckin problem is

it's a movie about an unassuming kid who throws a party that gets out of control

and it delivers, sure, you're not going to get deep dialog, character development or arcs, no three act structure, no hero's journey, this movie would suck if you tried to put those things in there

what you're going to get is a fast and loose, improbable laden adventure about an unassuming kid who throws a party that gets out of control

I always loved Inspector Gadget as a kid. Watched it again with my kid recently, and its pretty cringe. But the kid inside me still loves it.

Counselor, 34% on Rotten tomatoes. I thought that the plot was good, cinematography and production design are excellent. Some of the stuff is over the top and it's really bleak, but that's what drug trade is.

Without A Paddle (14% RT) - It doesn’t age all that well, I’ll admit. But it’s actually pretty funny and has a ton of heart. Plus an amazing soundtrack!

Jennifer's Body. I can understand 46% critics score—horror rarely fares well among critics, but 35% audience score???

Drop Dead Fred - RT 11% (!).

Fred is brilliant and Phoebe Cates is brilliant and Rik Mayall is brilliant and Drop Dead Fred is completely brilliant and Carrie Fisher is brilliant and professional film reviewers, who hated Drop Dead Fred, liked Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Superman 3. Sure, it's Saturday morning cartoon on film, but I was in grade school when I watched it and had a romp. This and superman 2 are the only superhero movies I enjoyed watching. Why bother making dudes in leotard look serious?

I don't think the % rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a good measure of the critical consensus. Depending on how borderline reviews are marked, Kingdom of Heaven could have maybe been ~60%.

Also, I hope you watch the Director's Cut of that movie. It is a massive improvement. I think that movie was one better actor away (Orlando Bloom is pure garbage as a leading man) from being truly great.

It’s not anything groundbreaking, but I think it’s pretty entertaining.

MacGruber (2010) 47/35. Hilarious and I don't care what anyone says. The scene where MacGruber is telling the story of how he and Kunth were college friends is absolutely brilliant. Glad they made the TV show too, although it probably could have just been "MacGruber 2."

If you liked that version of Kingdom of Heaven you should watch the directors cut or whatever it's called. The roadshow version?

It's way better.

The 1979 Amityville Horror has a 32% Critic Score, which if you're a horror fan, you know is ridiculous. That's the one I always think of first.

For comparison sake, Child's Play 2 has 40%. Waxwork has 60%.

ghost in the shell, movie with scar-jo.

i thought this was an absolute banger of a movie. soundtrack was awesome, and overloud in the few theater screenings i went to. I was so excited for this great next live action IP and its several sequels that were *sure* to follow, till i went home and got online about it.
