Reply to comment by meowskywalker in Is it time to end RottenTomatoes? by hasanahmad

the general movie goer sees the score as the barometer, nothing else. outside this subreddit and other movie forums, thats the reality outside the bubble, RT score is what forms their opinion. the tool facilitates this this behavior, we know better, movie goers don't. Which is why many movie goers often have wrong impression and don;t see movies which are good and go see movies which are bad

It doesn’t matter. None of this matters. Transformers movies got terrible terrible reviews and were all incredibly popular. All the Twilight movies got horrendous reviews, quite popular. People are gonna like what they like, and the idea that they can be convinced by a number on rottentomaotes is ridiculous.
