shyt was
. I also saw it at home rather than in the theater, and while I'm sure it would have mind blowing visually in 3D it's still one of the worst movies I've ever seen. shyt was so hokey I couldn't even bare it halfway through. I could just picture all the fat disgusting mouth breathing popcorn inhalers clapping away at the end when Sandra Bullock makes that awful, pandering speech.

Don't get me wrong, even if a movie has a bad rating at RT, it isn't going stop me from watching a movie I really want to watch, like Amazing Siper Man 2 or any of these comic book movies. BUT, that being said, if my wife wants to see some movie that are romantic comedies or dramas and it gets killed in RT, I will use the RT rating as an argument not to see it

Ah see I like your thinking: use RT to make the argument for you on things you don't want to see. Lol I feel that. And Spider man is a great example. From an analytical standpoint I can understand the complaints but overall as a whole it did a lot more good for me personally than bad. Some critics agree with that some don't. As a kid you couldn't convince me that power rangers is a bad flick. As an adult tho? Nah I can't get with it but it's not for me anymore lol. Same with space jam

The only real critic at the end of the day is "YOURSELF". I never let Rotten Tomatoes dictate what film I do and don't want to see. The site came out in 98, I was a senior in High School then and the internet was really starting to pick up even more commercially. So they come out with their "Review Average" score. Only problem is, they let critics review films long past the time it came out and added to it's official score. I'm not saying all the reviews should be during that time but there are a lot of revisionist reviews.
The Forest Gump score is a great example. How the hell isn't that a 90% or above? They are re-releasing it on IMAX for it's 20th Anniversary it won Best Picture and Hanks was Legendary in it it's not even debatable. Also there is a bias against Black and or "Minority" films. I know movie criticism isn't a perfect science and I'm not even arguing that RT gets it wrong all the time cause they don't. But what sales me on a movie is the movie itself. The concept, story or trailer has to interest me. I trust my friends after they see a film more than the critics. I love how they sh!tted on the "Bad Boys" series yet the fans let them know the deal:
Bad Boys
Critics: 43%
Audiences: 79%
Bad Boys II
Critics:23%
Audiences: 79%
The audience knows what's up.

I may be black breh but I cannot stand bad boys 2. I didn't like it when I was 17 and I don't like it now
. And I don't think that's black bias I think that's Michael Bay bias but that's my view...but still, I'm not a fan of the 2nd bad boys flick at all
If bad boys 2 is on, then my channel surfing stops. It's so classic and over the top

Yes "Bad Boys II" is over the top and probably 20 minutes too long (Bay loves to drag out the final act in his movies) but it was still a very good sequel. Some of the action sequences are GOAT STATUS and the comedy was even funnier. I still will put "Bad Boys" over it cause it was the 1st and they just had great chemistry. I don't know what Will, Martin and Michael Bay are waiting for. THE FANS not the critics loves the Bad Boys series and "Bad Boys III" would be huge.
I'm a fan breh but my movie taste changed and has changed over the years so the fact that it's 20 min too long bugs me. The whole fourth act is unnecessary but that's typical Michael Bay. Mike Lowry is damn near a sociopath the entire movie and it's just Michael Bay unhinged which is never good. He's better with scaled back stuff like the first bad boys which I love or pain and gain. Doesn't mean I won't see bad boys 3 if it happens but being a fan of something doesn't mean you can't look at it critically. The first bad boys flick isn't perfect but it's great. The 2nd is just too bloated for me
Haywire from Steven Soderbergh is at 80%

am I the only one that doesn't fukk with Rotten Tomatos and strictly goes off IMDb stuff?
Yeah breh, this was definitely a watch in 3D IMAX type movie. It probably looks dumb as shyt on the small screen. Don't even know why it is being released on dvd.
I try to stick to the IMDB rule - 7 or above, I'll give it a watch, but I drop that down to 6-6.5% to comedies.
Also, I'm surprised no one mentioned Death to Smoochy. I remember the critics taking a big dump on it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the dark satire and humour from DeVito.
