I've never used Rotten Tomatoes or critics to determine if I want to see a movie or not. Not once. Never.
I watch trailers and if the movie looks interesting.....I'll go see it. If I'm meh about it....I'll wait to rent it. |

This RT thing makes me feel like this is nothing more than unchecked social media running rampant. Everyone has a voice on the internet, nobody is ever wrong, and everyone needs to be heard RIGHT NOW DAMN YOU. It just seems like that is what is happening here, to me at least. |

You are trying to compare apples to lizards. Not even anywhere near close to what is being discussed here. I think a better example would simply be you shutting down the Media Center sub forum because you had trolls in a certain thread. Why would you do that? Don't you just handle the trolls if that is what they truly are? It still isn't apples to apples but it is a lot closer to this scenario then your example.

Even worse, IMO, is that they got rid of the "not interested" button so stupid shit keeps getting pushed at me. /rant Back on topic to Captain Marvel, I will see it. I don't do social media. I follow a few experts in my field and some sports/tech news folks on Twitter, but I don't end up seeing or getting involved in all the BS that our society seems to thrive off of these days. So none of this mess bothers me.

I think most of the problem is how Rotten Tomatoes is now being used as a marketing tool while at the same time trying to maintain a user/critic driven system. Commercials for movies are now including the RT score. Warner Bros. now owns a part of RT as well. Which is great until you have some kind of backlash, legit or otherwise.

Reading through a dozen reviews and finding one or two that are good enough to assist in making informed decisions can be worthwhile. For me, with Netflix, it was. Losing that option has caused Netflix to lose much of my viewing time. For Lyft (I actually boycott Uber and use Lyft), I don't think I have ever read a driver review. I think the difference their is that for me, it's just a get me a ride from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Bottled water, music, and potpourri don't mean anything to me. Amazon is a huge issue for me. I use the fakespot plugin and even that is not foolproof. I've found several false positives in their scoring, but the review system there is worthwhile enough for me to spend the time sifting through the garbage. Guess it just boils down to what I want reviews for, and those I do, I would appreciate the vendor/host/platform taking steps to clean up the trash. Where possible.

I'm a top tech reviewer at Amazon and I have to fight constantly through the paid reviews to get mine seen. RT did the right thing by not allowing pre-release reviews. See the movie, review it legitimately. It's that simple. |

My position in this thread, as it has always been, is that the movie is likely to be good based on Marvel's track record, but if it's not it'll tank. I'm just incredibly frustrated that this thread is a shit show that has very little do to with the movie that we're supposed to be talking about, and I feel bad for those who care so much about the opinions of others that it interferes with your ability to enjoy a goddamn movie. The end. |
