Do you check Rotten Tomatoes before watching movies?

[Wiz kids]

Have to say, its become my guide for watching movies. Mainly checking on the critics I like/agree with, though sometimes I'll go against the grain.

Do you guys check RT or any other consensus site?

[Pinstripe power]

nope. if i want to see something reviews don't matter to me

[PhillyLuver]

Yes. I love the site

[MelanconMadness]

Used to, before no strings attached, drive angry, Tyler perrys new madae movie, gnomeo and Juliet, and Justin beiber got better ratings than hangover 2 and pirates 4. If your going to have a review site, then make them realistic

[delfinko]

Only if I don't want to see a movie but my friends do.

[Amazin' Mets]

Almost every time.

I like IMDB better than Rotten Tomatoes. And of course PSD has been really good at finding good movies to see. A lot of the threads on here have guided me to a lot of great movies that I would have never have seen or heard of

That is dumb, but Hangover 2 and Pirates 4 weren't good movies.


I do screen first. I'm picky about movies. I don't let it totally influence my decision to watch a movie, but I use it to decide if I'm picking between a few.

[Towelie]

I do but for only movies that I didn't want to see. If it's getting a solid 75% then I'll have a look.

RT is a pretty good standard to use to stay away from crap movies.

Some of their high ratings are bad though. Rango is a piece of garbage but was super highly rated.

I also look at the viewers ratings on RT, I find that fanboys stick to IMDB while the better viewers rate on RT.

If any I would look at RT. IMDB is just a bunch of kids that dont know a good movie from a bad movie. The Wizard Of Oz the 103rd best movie when it is clearly a top 10 of all time.

Anyways, no I do not look at any of them before watching a movie. That is like asking someone who has seen the movie and they say it is crappy and I still watch it and I like it. Lot of people said Good Burger sucked, but I watched it and it was a very good movie. We all have different opinions. RT gave The Sandlot bad reviews when it was a very good movie, so I watch the movie even if I do look at RT.

[WickedBadMan]

I use it to evaluate my own opinions of movies / look up old reviews for movies I liked.

I generally know ahead of time if I want to see a movie.

[Boozerguy47]

No.

[OC Knights #11]

Yes, but most times it doesn't determine if i'll see the film or not. I prefer Rotten Tomatoes over IMDB.

Wizard of Oz sucks.
