Why They Deserve an Avalache of Rotten Tomatoes Thrown
- Their main appearence works as a lucky break to help films to cash out the part of audience who fell in their review traps over than a simple site that shows things which do/don't work in movies. Simply, if a movie will get any score under 60%, is certainly insured it will become a huge bomb at box office or audience.
- And when films receive negative reviews from critics despite being at same time succesful in cashes? Simply state their main problem is to play the cashgrab role. Though many franchises nowadays trying to use their IPs to make easy money can certainly be seen as a wrong thing, we should notice that they are just trying to expand their franchises' lore by adding characters, world building etc. just to get a good ending which matches to previous' plots, or simply because an audience of fans really care of them, or both two. This what makes R.T. naughty to everyone.
- Not only they treat world-grossing movies like trash, they even consider sequels be ever worse than OG films (being the phenomenon called "sequelite"), despite the sequel's role is to continue the latest movie's plot, so the franchise can progress to a final solution by the last sequel. Without sequels, a franchise cannot develop anyway to its main franchise arch's idea, resulting then in a big cliffhanger.
- Apart sequels, even prequels and the rarer midquels can be badly massacred.
- Due to this, not import how good a movie can be, if most critics don't like it for anything (even the smallest details), it will be declared rotten anyways. This comports a big dichotomy between critics and audience's scores, with the latters being the movie's only hand of saving to escape being rotten by critics. Here we have an entire list of movies that got love from audience but received dissatisfied reviews by critics:
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie, particularly being the most infamous on the list and one of the best reasons people can't be agree with Rotten Tomatoes. The movie, which is suppose to recover Nintendo's film industry after the plumber's infamous 1993 movie, got one hateful 59% (literally 1% less to be fresh) on the tomatometer, while audience and fans gave it a 95%.
