I look at the scores but I don't make up my mind untill actually seeing the movie.

Well I mean to be fair rotten Tomatoes were always shady but still sad to hear this news.

I trust the audience more than that critics.

I've found most of the time, critics are terrible at judging a movie, so I love this change.

Even though I never trust the rotten tomatoes scores this seems even more shady.

I lost all respect for critics after reading a official critic from Rotten Tomatoes, and they made dark knight rotten because and I quote “It’s too dark.” Nothing else.

basically, according to the reports about studios choosing directors based off RT scores, if your movie gets review bombed to have negative reviews, you're dead meat to studios, even if you make movies that are critically and commercially successful and well liked among audiences

Rotten tomatoes is basically the IGN of movies…

Imo the audience score is always more reliable. Sometimes you see a controversial film listed and it can genuinely be bad, and critics score could be high as hell.

This is so stupid because you could google Under The Skin and see the 57% audience score instead of the 85% critics score.

Ever since the Mario Movie did I learn to not trust any critic who puts a splat on their review on Rotten Tomatoes if a movie is actually good for the audience.

Even though critics are deeply flawed, at least they don't review bomb, like audiences on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. (Gotti, Lightyear, Bros, The Little Mermaid, Lady Ballers, etc.)

Godzilla minus one isn't even effected by this change right now lol

I use to trust sites but found your channel so now I always take your word 😅😅😂

It doesn’t matter, people will still pick and choose when they take Rotten Tomatoes seriously or not.

Never liked Rotten Tomatoes. They mistreated the Super Mario Movie. THAT MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE DARN IT!

RT Critics Are Dumb

I don't know. Ever since the Mario Movie (or even earlier) the majority of people made it very, VERY clear that they rather trust the Audience Score than the Critics. Same with Five Nights at Freddy's. Making this change makes perfect sense to me and I don't really understand what the problem is

I never liked critics so I see this as a win lol

Well well well so that’s how the cookie crumbles eh?

Punisher War Zone, Abigail, Birds of Prey and Boondock Saints. All reasons why I don't trust Rotten Tomato scores or critics in general. Of any kind.

I’m never really looking at the critic score unless it’s a video game movie because I don’t consider myself a very critical person when it comes to movies, though I can appreciate some good cinematography

Most critics just hate movies this is a much better choice to show the audience

Hey MR. 3CFilms do you remember in chip and dale rescue rangers when there was ugly sonic in it and he said he had contacts with the FBI. Well what if that one of those contacts was Wades sister from the knuckles show.

To be fair so many people anyways I’ve heard I have always said they’d rather see the score of the fans and the critics. In which I never really took them seriously when they say that because sometimes they would still gloat that a movie franchise, they don’t like it’s a bad score from the critics. At this point, I really really don’t care about anyone once opinion fan or critics. It’s always best to focus on your own.

Wait where’s the full live stream on these recent clips?😣

I feel like audience score matters more for the general audience. Yes they can be swayed, but I think majority are real and the general public agree more with those scores than critic. There's so many films I like with terrible critic scores but great audience scores.

Only time I go onto Rotten Tomatoes is when I want to look at bad movie reviews on fun bad movies, lol. Like Velocipastor for example, I just think critics took it dead seriously and didn't realise that it was just a funny tongue and cheek movie with the budget of $36, 000. Sure, they have their criterions for what makes a good movie which is fine, but not all movies are made to meet those so I just find it hilarious.

Personnaly I Trust the Audience over Critics

I hate Rotten Tomato’s

I'm gonna be honest. This change makes perfect sense. Critics have really dropped the ball lately. If a critics score is more then 50% or so below the avarage audiance score they aren't doing your job right. It isn't their job to say if they liked the movie but if we, the audiance would like it. If that is off more then not you have to accept that you aren't in line with the avarage viewer and aren't cut out to be a critic

Isn’t rotten tomatoes owned by Disney? Oh crap.

The audience score means way more than the critic score anyway .

Thanks, thumbs up.

This is very interesting turn of events. If its the studios doing then i wouldn't be surprised because they're probably more worried sbout low scores vs high ones. But at the same time i can't imagine rotten tomatoes themselves doing this change because as you said iys their bread snd butter on what makes people trust them so much. Personally i don't have a dog on this fight because i don't trust any review sites like this.

I LOVE IT I JUST WANT TO ENJOY MY MOVIES

Can you tell me how to stop people from review bombing if a website is built and customer or visitor based who clicked on something. Since this is a big community please provide some good solutions.

The lowest scores are the best horror flicks most of the time... Nobody should trust RT

I genuinely take you at face value and just decide from there. I don’t use any other critics or sites, cause you and me have almost the exact same taste apparently. 😂

i've never liked rotten tomatoes in the first place but this is pretty sad

This is just a theory I have but I think the reason why Rotten Tomatoes is hiding the critics score is because the audience scores tend to be a bit higher than the critics' score (although, that's not always the case) and they probably thought that most people wouldn't watch these movies if they see a negative score from the critics. So, they show the audience score instead if the audience score is high. But even sometimes, the audience score is just as low as the critics' score.

I don't mind it if I'm being honest fan opinions matter more than critics

After seeing this video I wanted to search up Morbius and now looking at the rotten tomatoes score, it now makes it look like a good movie😂

Is it because alot ppl including influencer always say never listen to critic scores

Who cares about critics, they just hate fun movies

The Metacritic is literally right there 😂

When the score is high I'm like "yeah I knew it was gonna be good" when the scores bad I'm like " nah they don't know what their talking about"

i honestly understand them not showing the critic scores for the fnaf movie especially, its for the fans and not old men that make criticize movies for jobs

I agree with the issue with review bombed scores popping up on google. However, when it isn’t that case of review bombing: the AUDIENCE are the ones filling the seats, not a bunch of people with pens and papers that studied movies. I’d rather see the score of everyone that bought their tickets specifically with the intent to watch that film rather than someone who got another showing for free because it’s their ‘job’

It’s all good. I do check RT reviews but I don’t trust critics as much as audience.

I always knew Rotten Tomatoes was shady after they gave their Ratings for Man of steel and that’s not me saying that because I’m a die hard Snyder fan I just genuinely think MOS is one of the most underrated superhero films and deserves a higher rating imo.

I noticed that with velma

I don’t rely on rotten tomatoes very often. Yeah I check to see how many love or hate the movie. But to me, if I’m interested in seeing a movie then I’m going to see it. I won’t let poor scores ruin my enjoyment of a film.

I feel like rotten tomatoes is known for being the critics review place. If I wanna see how the audience feels, I usually go to IMDB. So I feel like this is silly , but it makes sense In a way

I don’t trust most critics and audiences 😐

The thing about critics is the job is kind of a sham to me. A lot of critics I’ve read on rotten tomatoes are incredibly biased and put their emotions into their reviews. To me, a critic should look at the movie from a lens of did it accomplish what it set out to do. Instead critics go, “hmph I didn’t like that because I don’t like the story or the colors used.”

Both whinnie the Pooh blood and honey movies are happy about this 😭

I honestly usually agree with the audience score

Usually don't comment but felt the need to share my opinion, since it looks like I might be in the minority here. The website redesign I don't care about. I never expect website redesigns to be better than they used to be. The Google results are shady though. They should be like AMC and just display both the Critics' and Audience scores. There's definitely enough space. Studios going off of Rotten Tomatoes scores is stupid. Tyler Perry's pretty darn financially successful given the budgets that he works with. Yet his Rotten Tomatoes scores are all over the place and lean a tad bit more toward Rotten. The big studios (so excluding A24, Blumhouse, etc., though yes, this still applies to them, just not as much given their more limited budgets) care almost solely about making money, so there's no reason why they should be skipping out on someone like Tyler Perry just cause of Rotten Tomatoes scores. Unlike a lot of people in the comments, I don't mind critics as much. As I've consumed more and more movies and shows, I think that I have developed the critics' mindset a bit of where I'll reward something experimental but maybe not super mainstream just cause it dared to stand out from the crowd of all of the other films that I've watched. At the same time, I can still appreciate a film that doesn't try to be spectacular but just fun and will usually end up with a higher Audience Score compared to Critics' score. I think that a big issue is that a lot of people just look at the Critics' Score and base their decisions on whether or not to watch solely of that. I think that the Critics' Score should always be just one of many tools that you use for your moviegoing decisions. I also use the Verified Audience Score, the Cinemascore, the box office, any potential word of mouth, and reviews from those whom I'm subbed to on KZfaq (including you, Cris). I avoid IMDb almost completely just cause I've found that the audience score there is so easily manipulated. I've noticed for years if not decades now that any film lacking a straight white male lead gets bombarded with one star ratings on IMDb, likely from people who will never see the film (The Woman King is a good example). At least with Critics' scores, Cinemascore, Verified Audience Scores, and the legit (i.e. not anti-woke rage bait) reviewers here on KZfaq, you know that you're hearing someone's actual opinion on a film that they watched rather than their political views.

I hate to break it to you man but the critic score can be just as easily rigged. I’ve seen critic reviews on there and alot of them tebd to have flimsy reasoning for why a movie is bad. It’s why your seeing so many splits on what critics think of a movie and what audiences think lately. Honestly I think it’s better their showing the audience score now. Sure it’s not perfect but it gives movies more of a fair shot compared to the critic snobs.

It’s sketchy to say the least. It seems to me that 9 times out of 10 the Audience Score is ALWAYS higher then the Critic Score and that’s why it’s on Google Searches.

👍

Isnt it better to show the audience score? Critics are wrong most times anyway.

Hi chris great video 👍😃

I rarely align with top critics on most films (specifically Oscar bait type of films). I watch you, Chris, because we mostly agree & have similar taste in films. Ultimately, you as an audience member have to just trust your gut when you see the trailer. The natural reaction you got when you first watched the trailer usually is how you end up feeling about the film. Trust your own instincts, guys.

To be fair to Rotten Tomatoes, the site did take some measures to hinder manipulation from the audience scores at least in terms of the movies, by having members provide proof that they actually seen the movie.

oh damn i was wondering why this was!

They do pay money for good reviews with some the truth is all coming out now

After Godzilla: King of Monsters, I took RT less seriously as a reputable site

Critics hate video game movies now Look what they gave to The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Five Nights At Freddy's

I tend to trust the audience more than the critic, so this doesn't seem so bad to me

I remember John Campea shitting on people because the idea of Rotten Tomatoes messing with or having bias reviews on the critic reviews, would ruin the point of the site and mess with many other area of the film industry… well here we go with another example of what we’ve been complaining about for the past 8-10 years. Most people aren’t complaining to complain, there’s clearly a messed up bias in the critic reviews.

Crazy enough I'll been doing rotten Tomatoes Scores on my Tik Tok for 3 years and everybody have their opinion with the scores some people like it and some people hates even when I do Audience Scores it's the same thing of people like it and hate it

This has been a thing for months

I personally don't trust critic scores because these days you can never trust them and they don't know what they're talking about.

Yah that’s sus and sketchy

Ngl i feel like audience score is way better then critics reviews.

well I mean does anyone really care about what the critics think? I mean most people, the majority of people will watch something that interests them and if they can see that normal average people liked the movie then okay 👍 the only bad thing I see is that if the audience score might be too biased? But then again people already thought the critics score was baised so ??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

2:19 It makes sense that it would show the audience score. A lot of these critics are getting paid to say nice things about certain movies. Where is the audience? Isn't there just watching it to watch it because they like it or they don't in my opinion. It's a lot better to have the audience score rather than the critic score because the audience is more the average for everybody. Where is the critic is going to take other things into account that the general movie public isn't going to really take into account

I don't like the new Rotten Tomatoes layout at all.. you just have to know how to decipher the scores. It could have a 90% but all those 90% could have all given it 7/10. When Rotten Tomatoes looks real ridiculous is when they put up on top 20 or top 100 list be some Rotten Tomatoes scores. That really shows how flawed the system is lol.

The audience score is the only one needed

people did not know about the reviews rotten tomatoes and audience score how they reviews loves or hates i mean like how rotten hated especially like the emoji movie yeah that score was really bad tho horrible animation movie look so freaking crinch tho

But... why?

I trust the audience more than that critics I honestly like this change on rotten tomatoes true is RT critics are aholes so haha.

This is a good development lol. Fuck the critics. ('cept Chris. Chis cool.)

I personally don't see A24 to be more artsy. Maybe pretentious? Some people think pretentious =/= artsy. I thought Whale was good. Uncut Gems is their best movie. Everything Everywhere though was just somebody with ADHD having a existential meltdown.

Critics are biased. They are afraid to be honest. The audience reviews are always more accurate. Just understand that the audience reviews are usually from people that were interested in the movie/genre to begin with.

1. rotten tomatoes is a joke and not at all indicative of a movie's actual value 2. critic scores have for ages been pretty much the opposite of what the general public feel about movies because so many of them are schills who suck up to the studios so that they can keep their access to early screenings they've been praising movies that push the studio message and bagging out movies that don't tow the line for years and they're only recently starting to come around because they've been called out on what they are doing and the fact that they are a joke if you want an accurate idea of a movie you're better off watching a wider range of youtube reviewers and getting to know who has similar tastes to what you like in a movie and trusting that as a guide to what you might like, not a percentage score on rotten tomatoes

I don't like tomatoes specially if they come rotten

This is the most controversial thing going on in the US right now

I don't care rotten tomatoes it like mafa i know bribe on rotten tomatoes love 3c film

awesome sausce

i don't know anyone in the general public looks up scores for movies and i know even more people that don't trust most critics this is only a problem for people online

I like the change.

Hii(say hi back)❤

First 🎉

Ahh yes trust a paid shills reviews or if the movie isn’t gay enough for some critics.. audience score should be most important since you know we’re the audience 💀

2:57 FNAF score of 32 percent is spot on. The movie is garbage. Y'all have to stop glazing the movie. Objectively the movie is terrible Sometimes I trust them and sometimes I don't. It depends. Like for the Mario movie I didn't trust them because I knew they weren't Mario fans

I don’t trust audience scores. People are trash and have trash tastes. I have taste in music, I wouldn’t want my opinion moving someone’s purchase. Critics are good to a point unless a movie is political and against a certain agenda, they are pretty on point and base it more on actual movie elements, like plot pacing etc. If you get low with the audience, your movie is probably complete shit, like Zack Snyders rebel moon lol.

Rotten Tomatoes Controversy needs to be studied! Godzilla x Kong is a great movie by the way.
