I usually have it the other way around. I'll watch something, think it's bad only to discover it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    And it's impossible to know if they're artificial or if people actually like garbage.

    I find fandoms on reddit to be a decent gauge. I've been in one that was torn in half after the final season. It was hot garbage, but IMDB would make you believe it was actually good. Rotten Tomatoes was also more realistic. I guess good thing IMDB locked reading reviews behind login. I'm not tempted to waste my time on it anymore.

    RT isnt how good a movie is. Its the chance you'll like it if youre a movie critic, or audience if you use the audience score.

    Aiming for 100% RT score means aiming for a movie everyone likes, which really means not taking chances and using what works for test audiences. Rotten Tomatoes scores really pushed movies to be more average.

    this happens to me. i had this for await further instructions. i thought it was garbage, everyone was unlikeable, and the moral is essentially shoced down your throat. 80% critic reviews. audience reviews were more reasonable.
