In short, if you think the site Rotten is still reliable, you're an idiot to have trusted a site with the word rotten literally in its name. I'm sick and tired on constantly seeing this dumbass site brought up like it's some holy grail of testing quality.
Aug 2, 2023 · For better or worse, nowadays, Rotten Tomatoes has undeniably become the one-stop shop for film reviews its creator envisioned (albeit a bit less Chan-centric than he initially hoped). But enough with the history lesson; what do film fans think of the site? RT: Rotten or fresh?

Now that we have a criterion to work with, let’s dive into the data. There are a lot of websites out there that come up with their own movie ratings. I have chosen only four, mainly based on their popularity, so that I could get ratings for movies with an acceptable number of votes. The happy winners are IMDB, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacri...
