The worst thing that we have in todays movie culture is Rotten Tomatoes, said Ratner, whose company RatPac Entertainment co-financed Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (among dozens of other Warner Bros. titles). I think its the destruction of our business. I have such respect and admiration for film criticism. When I was growing up film criticism was a real art. And there was intellect that went into that. And you would read Paulines Kaels reviews, or some others, and that doesnt exist anymore. Now its about a number. A compounded number of how many positives vs. negatives. Now its about, Whats your Rotten Tomatoes score? And thats sad, because the Rotten Tomatoes score was so low on Batman v Superman I think it put a cloud over a movie that was incredibly successful.
Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman cost about $250 million to make and grossed nearly $900 million worldwide despite being considered a disappointment (with a 27 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes).
People dont realize what goes into making a movie like that, Ratner continued. Its mind-blowing. Its just insane, its hurting the business, its getting people to not see a movie. In Middle America its, Oh, its a low Rotten Tomatoes score so Im not going to go see it because it must suck. But that number is an aggregate and one that nobody can figure out exactly what it means, and its not always correct. Ive seen some great movies with really abysmal Rotten Tomatoes scores. Whats sad is film criticism has disappeared. Its really sad.

Will I finally be in the next poster?
I am not Rattner's biggest fan, but he says some very valid stuff there.
