This may seem a bit petty, but with the House of Ideas fans constantly ranting about the supposed anti-Marvel bias at Entertainment Weekly, I was wondering- Who exactly is running RottenTomatoes?
I remember last year reading a mixed review of 'Batman Begins' in Time that called the film 'an honorable effort'. I was a little surprised then to see the Time review given a 'Rotten' classification at Tomatoes.
Well, I just got done reading the 'X-Men: The Last Stand' review in my New York Times. Here are the last couple sentences: 'Mostly, as so often with these types of empty entertainments, you are left to wonder why companies that hire so many fine actors to run around under latex and foam and have the best technological wizardry money can buy seem to spend so little attention to the screenplay. The credited writers here are Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, who, like the director, are simply not mutant enough to fly.'
And that review is listed as a 'Fresh'! Huh?
