re: Has Rotten Tomatoes jumped the shark?...

Just looking at the top movies now The Legend of Tarzan is a critics 36% and audience 69%. By this logic the critics are being paid to hate this movie. Looking at the audience score of a movie is a flawed metric since people on the Internet can rate things without seeing them, particularly this movie.
I mentioned that I could definitely see audience reviews being higher since they can overlook things, and Tarzan might be a good example with the good visuals and cinematography. My question is not really about the movies paying off critics, but more how rotten tomatoes comes up with their rating, seems pretty flawed and deceiving if a movie is rated 5/6 out of 10, but is 'certified fresh'.
Good point about the audience rating, but I'd think after a certain number of reviews, the rating would level out the biased reviews, and there's over 70,000 reviews out there right now.

Certified Fresh is different.

Movies and TV shows are Certified Fresh with a steady Tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide-release movies)
