I'm glad that people are questioning "Rotten Tomatoes" ratings, and the aggressive misogynists who seem to dominate the comments. I avoid the site completely, I tell friends to do the same. I'm hoping it will become more unpopular and less influential.
So sorry to see that Daisy Ridley has encountered the "body shaming" brigade, hopefully she won't have to go through years of abuse and a lawsuit for slander like Keira Knightley endured.
I treat Rotten Tomatoes much as I treat Yelp reviews...if the rating is very high, it's probably worth checking out and may pique my interest in something I wouldn't ordinarily be interested in; if it's very low, probably best avoided; but if it's somewhere in between and I'm interested already, I'm still going to go regardless. I pay more attention to particular film critics than the aggregate anyway.
Haven't visited rotten tomatoes in quite some time; I prefer the vastly superior metacritic.
Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't even realize how handsome he is.
The second I read Andrew's fab review of Carol I knew you will link it :)
