I like Metacritic better. IMDB I feel becomes kind of a popularity contest. 

 

 

Also, doesn't Rotten Tomatoes only tell you postive % of reviews? So theoretically if all the reviewers say "This movie is slightly above average" , RT would rate it at 100% :scratchchin:

 

Yeah RT percentage is binary, who liked vs who didn't. A movie can have 50% Meta and 100% RT.

 

IMDB matches my expectations perfectly though despite being popularity contest. Only issue is with older movie where people rate them now based on how they remember watching it 30 years ago, and it gets bonus nostalgia points.

Agreed, RT is not trustworthy, especially since their weird Rise of skywalker score that didn't budge even after 1000s of new user scores. 

 

Metacritic isn't that holy either, Black Panther is higher than Bladerunner and Bladerunner 2049.

 

This might sound silly but I've come to believe in user scores more than critic scores, and it's mostly in line with my preference.

Yea, critics cut Disney content a lot of slack. I don't think the Blade Runner scores are bad per se, but it's more that the Black Panther score is higher than it should be.

 

Also, I wouldn't consider the the OG Blade Runner rating at all. Sourcing legit reviews for that old a movie can't be easy.

I agree, should have been clearer. I meant Black Panther score seems too high, not that BR score was low.

Rottentomatoes ratings are totally nonsensical.

 

IMDB ratings are better and more accurate. I always check if a movie is good or not.

:ko: :ko: Whats the point making 4hr cut if you're still going to leave things out? Especially stuff already shown in trailers. 

 

They did it cause they knew people would match onto it because of the memes
