Rotten Tomatoes Is Killing Movies

[@mar-nyan]

Watched this because it was in my recommended section, without looking at the numbers, and now that I’ve noticed the view count I gotta say man, you’re so underrated!

[@GarrettWatts]

GO MATT! GO MATT! GO MATT!

[@MattyIsTalking]

Thanks dad!

[@elsieyeet5272]

[@MattyIsTalking]

[@Aria.Inthavong]

I did a dissertation on RT last year, so I thought I would share a little wisdom on the percentage thing from 3:40. While the user only sees a rating, review snippet and tomato score (fresh/rotten), RT does actually collect more data on individual critic reviews. Sometimes a review will have their own RT-esque "good or bad" system, and in that case RT will use THAT for the tomato score, rather than the actual rating. Additionally, most critics, but generally only top critics, will either have their review manually evaluated by the RT team or actually have the ability to submit their own review directly to RT. This is especially important for certain critics, who value exactly which quote from the article is displayed alongside their rating and score. Great video, you definitely earned a sub - looking forward to seeing the channel grow!

On top of the fact that I think that too many mid movies are achieving too-high scores now, I'll also add here that I'm often astounded by the low scores certain movies received in the 90's and 2000's that I feel would have easily found an 80 or 90% score now, so the system also feels very inconsistent that way. Two movies I rewatched recently that I absolutely loved were "Now and Then" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." These two movies are no Shawshank Redemption, but they are so well actualized and earnest, and every scene is considered and delivers exactly the type of character moments/growth, comedy or action that feels satisfying and earned. I just find these two movies to be incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable as a viewer, especially now, when I have seen more movies that have left me feeling like "did the director even want to make this?" and yet both movies achieved Rotten scores on RT. Even when I take multiple steps back and look at how these films were crafted from a more objective lens, I just can't fathom how they could have been rotten (though the reviews on Now and Then are atrociously sexist, so there's part of your reason).

Hello Mr. Buzzfeed Unsolved Conspiracy Man. I’d recognize that mustache you’re attached to anywhere.

[@Aria.Inthavong]

3:41 is also a REALLY GOOD POINT!!

[@Jeffool]

He's writing, he's editing... He literally broke out math.

[@wormish_squirmish_III]

Incredible video dude (and it’s your first video on this channel… does that mean I got here before it was cool?) definitely agree with this. More and more I find myself judging whether to watch a movie on description alone, which seems to work just fine.

[@TriforceLiz]

This was actually fascinating! I understood that RT was kinda broken for multiple reasons, but it's cool to see how it's also broken from the math/stats side.

[@GUSYROSA-qj2pk]

Man, perfect video on the whole rottentomatoes issue and how people shape their perception on movies based completely on scores and can’t simply find nice flicks by their own interests.

[@TheGrumpiestPanda]

I think more people need to stop looking at review scores and letting it color their impression of a movie before they watch it. I found tons of movies that are "rated low" that I really like, and some that are "rotten" that I don't think are as bad as people think.

[@MRKS8]

I initially thought this was a 500K+ channel. Good job on your first upload

[@anna20812]

I was shocked at how small your channel was (for now). awesome video :)

[@lionkid5841]

great video man! surprised by how little views this has. i’ll be sure to share it around, i really like your take and editing style :)

[@TheRealDVR]

Incredibly high quality stuff here, amazing work!

[@Lordbananathegreat]

This video is so well made , and I saw the view count and thought how is this possible this video is so well made. Your video is great.

[@Aria.Inthavong]

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS LEGEND HAS STARTED MAKING VIDS!!!

[@MattyIsTalking]

Well if you won’t someone has too!

[@johncook2820]

Excellent. More of these, please! Also, "All the lights noticeably on". 😀

[@MattyIsTalking]

[@benbrian9884]

[@ramiropedraza5024]

Who really cares about what other people think about the movie if you like it that's all that matters

[@BillyTheDog1]

Really good Video. I am excited to see what you do next!

[@Lordbananathegreat]

This video has better editing than 99% of videos on the platform.

[@potatoperson3010]

really loved this !

[@grim3958]

while i absolutely understand what you're saying, i would like to bring up the fact that RT can serve as more of a percent-chance that you'll like it, rather than a rating system.

[@user-ud4ys8yk4c]

do you have a dog?

[@ditto5071]

here before 100 subs (:
