I don't think there's anything wrong with using or discussing sites like rotten tomatoes or metacritic. But a score by an aggregate will never give me pause about seeing a film.
But using it as a barometer of truth when it's just a random number assigned to a collection of other people's opinions is odd.
Sometimes I agree with the consensus,sometimes I wildly disagree. Some films get trashed by critics at release then go on to become beloved cult classics with critics suddenly praising the film's years after. Other films get praised to High heaven at release only to age like dirt and see word of mouth change.
And people act like critics are infallible beings that are completely objective and aren't just normal people susceptible to agendas and bias. Certain directors get way more leeway than others.
People do the same with video games refusing to play games unless they get a certain score on metacritic.
please stay consistent people
