    rotten tomatoes is the worst indicator of whether a movie is any good, and “critics” are talking out their asses 100% of the time.

      You have to know how to use it. I know 80% audience and 40% critics will probably be a fun and interesting watch, but 70% critics and 80% audience will be a generic, well made but predictable movie that I’ll find boring. 95% critics 20% audience is arty and need to be in the right mood for. Etc.

      You know, this thread kinda has me thinking. Younger people these days will never know what it’s like to just watch a movie and make up your own mind about it. Every movie is the best thing ever or a pile of garbage and you haven’t even seen the trailer yet.

        what a weird comment.

        is this supposed to imply i don’t have taste?

        should i clap back about how you prefer to let paid shills tell you how and what to think about media?

        or should we notice that we’re in a thread about liking bad movies and maybe not make attacks on each others’ character in the most chickenshit-ass sideways manner in the name of defending some corpo website from flippantly vague criticism?

          You said rotten tomatoes is the “worst” indicator of film quality.

          What a cringe take, to think you know better than every person who’s job it is to evaluate film quality. The people who have spent their lives watching all manner of films through a critical lens typically backed by an education, all worthless compared to one Lemmy who probably goes to upmarket restaurants and complains about the small serving sizes.

          Everyone I’ve met who “hates the critics” objectively has bad taste, and you the worst type are the ones who are proud of it.

          Good luck bro, chuck on a 0%er and jerk off to how clever you are for liking it hahahahahah

              Hahaha ok, you called my logic “chicken-shit sideways ass”, after I said you like spaghetti o’s. No wonder you don’t like critics, you crumble at the mere sight of criticism.
