I mean who really cares what rotten tomatoes thinks. Black panther was a snooze fest and it’s very highly rated on there I trust it for horror movies and that’s pretty much it. They always trash comedies which is the best genre so who gives a poo poo

The reason it came up was a as simple as critics acting like some mediocre Netflix movies were apocalypticly bad, therefore it's not worth taking them into consideration, and some people took it upon themselves to act like we were propping up some massive anti Netflix conspiracy theory. I'm the exact same way though. I'm a big horror junkie, and there is so much literal trash in the genre that I find RT really useful for wading through the garbage. other than that I find critics practically useless. Reception is so hype based anymore it's impossible to get a read on a lot of things when trying to use RT.

Yeah, like, I'm seeing the anti-Netflix bias less in the fact that the movies are getting reviewed negatively, and more in the fact that they're getting treated like they're entirely unworthy of consideration and among the actual worst movies of all time. Mute isn't, like, a fantastic movie, but some of the hate it's getting is just absurdly over-the-top; ditto Bright, which probably would have gotten a lot of "meh, it's fine" reviews in theaters, and on Netflix attracted absurd amounts of vitriol.

yeah, if bright would have been released in theaters, it would have got like a 40-50% rotten tomatoes score and not much fanfare. its weird that the initial critic reaction actually got it more notice and caused more dialogue.

Cloverfield Paradox would probably have been slammed even more if it was released in theaters though, imho. I know I walked away thinking “That was a decent time waster sure, but if I had seen this in a theater I would be loving PISSED.”

It definitely felt shoehorned into the Cloverfield universe more than 10 Cloverfield Lane did. Of course, without the shoe horning its a pretty standard fare Sci Fi flick with no real shocks.

I really, really didn't like The Meyerowitz Stories and don't understand why it has a positive RT score. This review of Mute, which I haven't seen, is exactly how I feel about The Meyerowitz Stories. Allyn posted:

It got absolutely ripped apart, so since it was on Metflix, people were like “oh, I have to see this”, but then when it was decent there was a bit of questioning what movie critics watched and if they were dragging it through the mud for no reason.

I recognized O’Dowd, Oyelowo, Brühl, and the German guy from The Martian, but I’m not sure I’d call the cast well known. Brühl is probably the best well-known among Americans for Inglorious Basterds and Civil War, followed by Oyelowo for Selma.

I hated Mute, it was painfully unfunny, way too long, and the dialog was execrable. What was clearly intended to be a lurid and provocative vision of future sex came off as desperately edgy instead (apart from the incest which was just nasty stuff), and the sci-fi elements were boringly generic. As for the negative Netflix reviews, I also thought The Cloverfield Paradox was truly awful and Bright was awful whenever Orc Cop was offscreen so my views don't seem to be jibing with this thread much these days.

There's a character who's a gay prostitute (which is shown as seemingly legal and basically accepted) and another character who's at least implied to be a trans woman. Those aren't really lurid and provocative future things, and that's about the craziest the sex got as far as I noticed (aside from, y'know, the elephant in the living room).
