My Rotten Tomatoes rant

My Rotten Tomatoes rant 

OK, is it me or are people losing brain cells? People have lost their ability to act civilized, I mean you can’t say anything bad about a sports team, comic book character and game console without a fan wanting to kill you. Now we have this problem with movies, certain people want a website called Rotten Tomatoes shut down because they don’t like the scores, they give certain movies. I’m sorry I’m getting ahead of myself. Rotten Tomatoes is a website that takes reviews from other critics and gives a score based on that. This site also does that with the moviegoers however they're not the main focus. 

I didn’t know about this website until six years ago when people were outraged that this site give The Dark Knight Rises a low score at first. Since then, I don’t like the pedestal people put this website on, they treat this site as the voice for all of cinema. I can understand why people would go to this website because they don't want to waste their time and money on a movie that may or may not be good. (Especially if you bring your family to the movie theater.) How is this fundamentally different from not taking a surgery where your chances of surviving it are 11%?  

Just because you don't agree with the scores doesn't mean this website lied to you or the site is paid to play favorites. No one told you to watch the movie. People get carried away with the rating system, if the movie is not 10 out of 10 it's crap. People seem to forget that rating is subjective, what's a 10 for me may not be a 10 for you. You don't think that critics may exaggerate about the movie? (I do that from time to time.) is there a black-and-white movie that is a 10 out of 10 and you still feel like it deserves that rating? There are movies that Rotten Tomatoes don't give a 100% but I didn't think it was as bad as they say. Heck, I watch films that has a low score to see for myself how bad it is.  

I'm glad that Rotten Tomatoes didn't give the Justice League movie a score at first because I want to see how hypnotic people are by the website score system. Surprise! Surprise! They are! This caused DC fans to want the website shut down because they are tired of the site giving the DC movies from Man of Steel to Justice League low scores. Don't they stop and think that the reason why they got low scores is because the movies are bad? If you don't think it's bad who cares if the site gives it a 0%? 

Disappointments are a part of life!  

There are movies that I thought was going to be terrible, but they surprised me. 

 

 Movies that I thought was going to be good, but they end up disappointing me. 

 

And movies that I regret seeing. 

 

The bottom line is this people shouldn't put so much stock in one site, it's not good to put all your eggs in one basket.
