Rotten Tomatoes and the likes get bad press on Cinema Discusso. If I'm in the mood for going to the cinema but not sure what to see; I'll use RT to influence my choice. I don't think I'm alone in doing this kind of thing. Now that Rotten Tomato "Top Critics" mostly say Suicide Squad sucks, fans have lashed out. I think a discussion about it's value to film audiences or the art of review would be valuable.

Here are the big 3 sites for movies:

Rotten Tomatoes - Owner: Time Warner/Warner Bros. (30%), Comcast/NBCUniversal (70%)



https://www.rottentomatoes.com/

How Rotten Tomatoes Scores



Metacritic - Owner: CBS Interactive (CBS Corporation)



http://www.metacritic.com/

How Metacritic Scores



and also IMDB, I guess:

Internet Movie Data-Base - Owner: Amazon

More like a user ratings aggregator but who cares

Are Aggregators bad for small movies that don't get a wide release?

Is defiance of RT scores the best way to break into CD?
