The Dark Knight Rises 84% and falling on Rotten Tomatoes

[HughMyron]

Granted, there are still hundreds of reviews yet to come in, but the consensus so far seems to be that it is a good not great conclusion to the trilogy. How disappointing.

lol rotten tomatoes who gives a sh!t what those hipsters think

[FreshStart12]

I judge movies myself. Not what a website tells me.

[laxster]

rotten tomatoes reviewers are all a bunch of uppity *******s

[FeFocus]

I don't watch a movie the same way a critic does. I become absorbed in the movie. Critics critique every minute detail, as they should, which is just not how I partake in my movie going experience.

[RevSpunkwater]

Just checked it. 86% fresh rating. I'm no math whiz, but that's rising.



*******.

I have to think you would suddenly "give a sh!t" if it was at 100%

[dabawse]

lets be real here, with so much hype surrounding this movie, people are going to try to stray away from the consensus for attention and to be different. These same people praised Avengers

Interesting read... Apparently some people purposely post negative reviews to get attention to their websites etc. Don't know how true this is though

[unleashed132]

Lol critiques... if you base your movie watching experience from "critiques".. then jokes on you.. Though I am an easily entertained person when it comes to movies..

[Teh-Gr8-Ze-brah]

I honestly don't know the difference between a 100% fresh tomato and an 84%


Plus i would only trust the reviews of someone who had comic book pedigree.

[Criollo]

iv liked movies that have done awful on that site. not one single review was cared about that day

[brobro916]

Rotten tomatoes is terrible

[YuMadThough]

They also gave '300' like 50-60%, their opinions are invalid.

[WishmasterATM]

Rotten Tomatoes "RANKED" jb's movie Never Say Never...that is all.

I dont care if the percentage was horrible, but they ranked it.

RT stinks

[Merauder]

I'm gonna see this movie so hard I'm gonna see the crap out of it

[Seven6Two]

84% on Rotten Tomatoes is damn good. Anything those reviewers see as even slightly bad gets ran into the ground and stomped all over; talking sub 20% fresh rating.

[gotrice33]

some movies that have had a 30% on that site or under a 5 on imdb are still amazing to me... if u come in watching the movie with the mindset that it's only "average", then it will be. that's why i don't read reviews before, or else i'll already have an opinion on the movie without seeing it

This I'm my own man man. Srs though would never chose to see a film or the strength of a critic, they job is to critique

Granted, there are still hundreds of reviews yet to come in, but the consensus so far seems to be that it is a good not great conclusion to the trilogy. How disappointing.

Except the average rating on rottentomatoes is 8.7/10, higher than TDK and Begins, higher than any Nolan movie so far, higher than The Avengers even, and if you read the reviews, the consensus is very clear (whether I end up agreeing or not) that it is a great conclusion to the trilogy, with many reviews claiming it is the best of the three.

How is a minority of critics saying it's good but not great, with a larger number saying it's the best of the three, and a far greater amount -the vast majority - saying it's great, a consensus that it's a "good not great conclusion"? 14% disliking it for example, can't possibly lead to that conclusion making sense.

This binary thing of reading rottentomatoes percentage points as the be-all of "consensus" really seems to confuse a lot of people. What rottentomatoes is saying with the tomatometer is that 86% of critics so far liked it, and 14% didn't, it doesn't tell us how highly that 86% are rating it (much higher).

According to this bizarre logic, THIS: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/knuckle_2011/

is better received by critics than There Will Be Blood, Shawshank Redemption, The Avengers, Gladiator, even though the average rating is 6.6/10 and the consensus is that it's pretty good, but not fantastic or close to perfect.

Sounds about right. 300 wasn't that good.

Most reviewers are pretentious *******s and I can't take reading them. Instead, I go to IMDB and see what fans say about a film I'm interested in. There's lots of people on there who write balanced reviews and comments that are much better than anything a so called professional writes.

I'm sure most of us will greatly enjoy the film.

[magog704]

that website is a known troll. they gave encino man 16%, so their opinion is totally invalid.

[kromie]

rotten tomatoes also said Drive was a good movie. Not a single fak given for what they say





inb4 butthurt queerbaits start defending drive without actual arguments

[VTheKing]

84% is still excellent. It's next to impossible to pull off a perfect trilogy either way.

[TotalGymFreak]

Rotten tomatos rates all films poorly
Their opinion shouldn't mean sh*t
You like the look of a new movie, you go watch it, simple.

[F.A.M.E.]

Either way. My body is ready for the midnight premiere.
