I like the site more then Metacritic and IMDB, but there is a up and downside. Metacritic usually has 30 or so reviews posted on a movie, Rotten Tomatoes can have 300 or more. It allows more options, but some of those people are just random bloggers that you can't trust, and it somewhat reduces the value. I still use it, but it sometimes is just flat out wrong. Spaceballs was widely disliked really? And I don't need to mention Feigbusters, do I really need to explain that one? That one movie has basically ruined some critics for me, by just focusing on politics rather then the film. But I will still take it over people downvoting The Godfather so that the Dark Knight is the greatest film ever on IMDB, or wherever Metacritic gets an 89 for a review with no score.

I like looking at the scores and do enjoy the hiliarity of people frantically screaming out the scores but ultimately, my decision to view the film is based on whether i have interest in the first place. And i make my own opinion. For example, the new ghostbusters movie got surprisngly good reviews yet it didnt change my view at all that this was just a pale shadow of the original (and i have seen ghostbusters 2016)

I do that as well often, but sometimes I do see a movie just because of how great the reception is. I had no interest in Mad Max Fury Road, and by god above am I happy to have seen it, because now I am a massive Mad Max fan, old and new. But yeah, I usually have to have an interest in the film in order to even bother.

This is why i love critics. because even though they have a different opinion, at least you can understand them.

All I do know is that when I ignore the Tomato score when it is bad, generally I regret it. I don't always agree with it, such as with the English Patient or the Nice Guys, but I generally find it the best guide for a film's quality. I even got to ask the opinion of Roger Ebert himself about it, and he was fine with the site considering it always includes a link to his review essays so his opinions can be fully present to anyone interested.
