re: Brett Ratner says Rotten Tomatoes has ruined the film industry

i know that Nocturnal Animals is very different from Passengers, but the fact is that the RT score did come into play and continues to come into play when choosing a movie because we have such little time to watch adult movies, but I've seen Trolls like 40 times in the past 3 weeks

This is much like my life. Especially the Trolls part. I tend to have critics I like, and I read their reviews because I tend to trust their judgment. But I don't like reducing reviews to good/bad. Look, some bad movies are totally worth watching just for the attempt. I love "interesting failures" while I can't abide competent mediocrities.

But Rotten Tomatoes hasn't ruined a thing. It simply aggregates reviews. Read them. If you don't and just trust a silly score, it's your own fault. Brett Ratner has done more harm to movies than RT has.
