Rotten Tomatoes is a website that compiles the reviews of critics for temporary and historical movies. A simple way of demonstrating whether a movie is good or bad is evident of a movie’s ‘Tomatometer’. On the outside this Tomatometer determines whether a movie is ‘fresh’ or ‘rotten’, and the website’s frequent visitors can use this as a means of creating an opinion of the film without even watching the movie itself. Movies with a 60% and above are considered ‘fresh’ and below 60% are considered ‘rotten’. People sometimes throw this percentage and rating around as if they know how to develop an opinion on a movie. The small misunderstanding in how the percentage works marks an ignorance of how one should review a movie and in this article, I’ll try to defog the misunderstanding so that you can use Rotten Tomatoes in an effective way to help filter what movies you should watch.
