7 days agoI find Rotten Tomatoes much more useful. Knowing that 90% of critics gave a favorable review is infinitely more helpful for my decision to watch a movie than its IMDB score.
That’s the thing, I don’t want to invest that time. If I’m looking at the rating of a movie, I’m already interested, I just need to know if I’m likely to enjoy it or not. Whether it’s rated 5.8, 6.1 or 6.4 doesn’t do anything for me at that point, whereas the RT score answers that question perfectly.
