Movies

But the whole problem is whether you should even "know" about a film's quality before seeing it. Pre internet, you'd go see a movie cold.

That was a far, far better way to experience movies. That way, you go through the experience of being surprised, and either loving it, or just thinking it's okay, or hating it, and having a personal experience with the movie, instead of having dozens of preconceived opinions about a film already flying around in your head.

As far as RT is concerned: it is what it is. This is ridiculous, that a group of people are unhappy with some reviews. So what? Don't read them.

Sheesh.

Angry fanboys are petitioning to have rotten tomatoes taken down because of negative suicide squad reviews. Moviesnob Aug 03, 08:24

On MovieTickets, advance sales for SuicideSquad are running a hefty 40% ahead of AUG recordholder GuardiansoftheGalaxy from 2yrs ago. tomcat90 Aug 03, 08:38

Maybe Russia could help them out? second gary Aug 03, 08:43

Unfortunately, being a critic these days and writing a review of a film opens you up to harassment though social media from these fanboys {nm} Moviesnob Aug 03, 08:50

For the record, I'm not one of these people. I was a part of the era that helped build "Rotten Tomatoes." I think we still need it. chosenone2oo5 Aug 03, 08:56

You only see an unwatchable bad movie once before you start reading reviews... TwoMisfits Aug 03, 11:10

Absolutely. One time seeing "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie," and I literally never want to go into any movie cold again, ever. chosenone2oo5 Aug 03, 13:16

Pre internet you would see the reviews in the newspaper while looking up movie times or you would watch Siskel and Ebert. leo21 Aug 03, 18:53

At least some of the negative reviews are funny. {nm} lesana Aug 03, 09:11

Started by a guy in Egypt. WB owns RT. {nm} Antibody Aug 03, 09:18

Warner partially owns rt. They sold a chunk {nm} Moviesnob Aug 03, 09:21

The negative reviews won't diminish the box office on opening week-end. I rather think this discussion will help the movie on opening week-e {nm} BlackMamba1893 Aug 04, 02:43
