 Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings I started watching Turbo the other day. It's a pretty generic film.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Not rotten tomatoes but I think 78 for Zootopia is a little low. Deserves the mid 80's.

It has an 8.1 average score on RT. Don't they usually correlate? It seemed to me that Zootopia was nearly as well received as Inside Out

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings No. They don't correlate. You have 85-100 movies with under 7.0 average score. RT sucks. How many times do we have to say that.

I was referring to the average rating being close to the meta score. But I still think you're in the minority on your Zootopia rating.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Wait, we're talking Metacritic now? I was talking only RT % vs RT average score.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings I never mentioned RT overall score. I believe Rotten Tomatoes is accurate usually. There are some exceptions (MCU films).

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Zootopia is SJW'd and boring. It deserved a score in the 50s.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings The shamefully under-appreciated Not Another Teen Movie's 29% RT score isn't really inexplicable - after all, RT has no respect for comedy, especially spoofs - but where else are you going to see Captain America dating Supergirl's sister?

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings I would have hard time focusing on anything other than Chris Evans' butt in that movie to notice who he's dating.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings A recent one: Passengers.
It's very well liked here on the board, but critics completely torched it. Why?

Social justice warriors posing as film reviewers gave low ratings to Passengers to try to discourage people from seeing it because of the movie's central ethical dilemna, rather than using it as a starting point for discussion. This article, Film Critics Are Lying To You, describes this covert action, and also this Reddit thread debates it.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings I haven't seen it, but blaming critics for its failure is so ridiculous. If people want to see a film, they'll see a film.

Indeed, Home Alone should not be rotten. _________________
