    Huh, interesting.

    I have only ever seen them referenced to movies I look up. I always see a rotten tomato score and they usually are wrong… I didn’t realize RT is bigger than that

    Thanks 😊👍

      Yeah, the generic Rotten Tomato score that you see in articles is the critics score, and critics are all over the place. The Rotten Tomatoes website lets you see both scores and all of the individual reviews for both critics (with a quick summary of around 10 or so right there) and audience reviews. You can dive into any of those to get a better idea of whether their opinion is worth paying attention to.

      For example, if you skim the critic reviews and the negative ones criticize the movie for including things you like, then you can dismiss those reviews. It does a great job of putting them all in one place for visibility.
