Obviously a biased site. Lots of reviews follow the same wording for single sentences. The "Verified Audience" is always massively more positive than the actual curated score. They purposely leav... See more

I had hopes that this would be the last bastion of objectivity around movies. Sadly it's not. It's a sellout site and it sold it's soul for Hollywood friendships. The way it excludes viewers who are n... See more

Completely untrustworthy. 5/10 is a fresh on this site. Even IGN doesn't think a 5/10 is good. It also prioritises professional critic scores over user scores and often there's a massive disparity bet... See more

I’ll give it the rating I have for one simple reason..you rely on the audience score post screenings. Over a long time it’s obvious the critic scores are not reliable, probably paid reviews. The major... See more

Need better reviews.

I gave Rotten Tomatoes a 2/5 and here's why.
1. Many of the reviews aren't very helpful or detailed. They would usually just say for example, "Very good. Please watch now" and it doesn't say why they like it.
2. The screen has to many ads messing up the it, and is very laggy and unorganized.
3. Not many reviews. For example, Avatar: The Last Airbender, one of Nickelodeon's most successful tv series, has only 23 critics that are all "fresh" (Basically meaning they love it.)
If you like better and detailed reviews, I recommend IMDb.

Stop using Rotten Tomatoes

These people are not respectable critics, this is a circle jerk of cynics that all want to agree with each other and hate on things that other people love. There is no legitimacy to their ratings. The notarity, that rotten tomatoes has gotten, is not deserved.

There are two overall problems

There are two overall problems. For the audience reviews, it's obvious corporate film studios bomb the site with positive reviews which don't accurately reflect the general public's opinion. Need proof? Go to films the bombed at the box office and then cross check with audience reviews on RT. The disparity is glaring when compared with non-corporate films that made a profit. Looking at the positive audience reviews from the bombs show an excessive use of short declarative statements of overt praise such as "this film is awesome" with a five star rating (5/5). Whereas those who give a negative or middling review regularly give reasons rather than emotive statements. As for critics views, RT does not distinguish between the blogger with a small subscription to the authentic critic writing for a reputable media platform. They also use an algorithm that ignores actual ratings (say 7 out of 10) in favor of a allocation of positive and negative reviews. This results in the misleading claim of 100% rating when all reviewers gave it a positive rather than a 10 out of 10. The combination gives false information that favors the film industry. Although with non-corporate films the system works well enough, anything from the big studios is to be distrusted.

Just a Place for Trolls to Gather

This review site doesn't give any good or structured reasons why they use such negative ratings. I feel like they are trying to tear down movies by not giving fair and biased ratings. Just a place for trolls to gather and nest! That's my opinion. Don't shoot this messenger please, thanks!

Review website gone woke

Review website gone woke! They'll give a movie top rating if it is woke but then destroy anything that doesn't fit their political narrative. It's 2025, go woke go broke, as you're starting to see :)

useless waste of time

The way this site is laid out is utterly useless. You search for top films and it does not even show where you can view them. It does not score 1 star it scores zero. Fire the geeks and get some real people with some common sense and your ratings will skyrocket.

Rotten Tomatoes can’t be trusted.

Really bad anything woke they rate high even if it’s garbage also anything conservative they will rate really low no matter what these people are paid shills by Disney you cannot trust their critics reviews and even their audience reviews some people say on woke movies they delete negative reviews while keeping positive ones or flat out fabricating reviews.

I have an account with rotten tomatoes

I have an account with rotten tomatoes, but try as I may I can NOT find any way to leave an audience review. If you try to contact them all they do is direct you to FAQ. I've followed their instructions on the internet, but the type in box NEVER comes up on my account. The most appalling website.

It's clearly left leaning

It's clearly left leaning. Any movie that has a politically conservative stance will get slammed by critics even when the audience reviews are in the high 90 percentile.

The idea was brilliant

The idea was brilliant, execution was....well it needs to be executed.

The concept of reviewers trained (or at least paid) for the art Vs consumers/viewers etc was inspired. Two groups who could score something on it's artistic merit and enjoyment levels would give any fan a true reflection of what it is really like.......but with a lot of these things, it thinks too much of itself and forgetten what it's there for.

Rotten Tomatoes has gone the way of all big American sites, they now see themselves as more important than that which they review and have mixed their politics and policies in with their external content. It leaves everything needing to fix with RT's own personal world view and not that of the majority. Their new tactic to clean up the stats is to limit those reviewers to only a few who sign up to their own streaming services. So less of a majority view point and more of a RT dominated space.

R.I.P Rotten Tomatoes, I'd like to say you'll be missed, but I very much doubt you will be. You go to join all those (once) great sites like....thingy-ma-bob, that one with the thing and.....I can't remember it's name now but I'm sure I will at some point, in the temporary internet files of our computers hard drives

Rotten Tomatoes is Rotten/Corupt

A review site that does not let real users review the movie or tv show. What an absolute joke of a platform. Rotten tomatoes was once my go to, now you know it cannot be trusted.

It is paid shill critics, who pump crap films, and trick people into watching garbage. Money and sponsorship has ruined this once great platform, into a greedy waste of time.

I used to rely on user reviews, and they were mostly always accurate. Are there any alternatives to Rotten Tomatoes? It truly is rotten now
