[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8197529, member: 11760"] Another thought on Rotten Tomatoes: Even their critics score works in the aggregate. I've rented movies solely because they got a [URL='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/']Rotten Tomatoes score of 99 or 100[/URL], and they've been uniformly [I]amazing.[/I] (That's how my wife and I discovered Moon, What We Do in the Shadows, Ex Machina and Paddington, all of which had 99 scores at the time we rented them.) We can certainly cherry pick films we enjoy, become outraged that the critics got it wrong, and decide that the whole system has no value, but that's deciding that our opinions must, when it's entirely possible that we're the outliers, not the critics, at least some of the time. I will go to my [I]grave[/I] defending Barb Wire, based on the astonishing confidence the filmmakers had to remake Casablanca, almost scene for scene, with a latex-clad Pamela Anderson replacing Humphrey Bogart. I would eagerly buy any book ever made about the making of that movie, which will have to be one of the greatest Hollywood stories of all time. That said, I cannot argue with [URL='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/barb_wire']Rotten Tomatoes' 27% score for the movie[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
