Nick1Ø66 4,708 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can you imagine the death threats any critic who gives that film a "rotten" review would get? Social media would melt down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 But how could you quantify how good a film was before you had a statistical breakdown of aggregate reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I still don't understand why anyone uses Rotten Tomatoes. If you really want to use a critical aggregation site, isn't Metacritic far superior because it allows for some nuance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they're on a limited internet plan, they need to plan their downloads carefully. These are big downloads in monthly allowances as low as 100gb sometimes. And again, time. No-one wants to commit two hours to a film that is likely to be a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to save money for good movies and not run the risk of wasting time and money on a bad movie. So they quickly look at an internet gauge to see what others say about it. It's all about home budgeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Most people aren't film connoisseurs anyway. They just want to kill two hours on something at least decent, and they're happy to look at simple percentages on a mainstream website to help make their decision.

Jay 37,336 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I've never played a Pokemon game in my life, I've never seen the show or any of the movies, and I certainly didn't even install Pokemon Go let alone play it. It's a game series that has completely passed me by. People just a little younger than me love it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I never got into Pokemon either. I was one of those annoying kids who was more or less disturbed by the premise of a world where kids and adults hunted for rare creatures to store in their tiny pocket balls.

Jay 37,336 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I was in college when the first game came out. Seemed like it was aimed at kids and I wasn't really spending free time in college playing a gameboy anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
