Joker "The Joker" in development with Todd Phillips and Martin Scorsese attached? - Part 2

Lol a 7/10 rotten review WTF?


Ah just read it. Another one complaining about the "white man rejected by society" thing. But seriously, how is a 7/10 a bad rating?

The Tomatometer works on a subjective scale based on whether they recommend it or not. So as a critic who is being objective, they gave it a 7/10, but on their subjective side, they don't recommend it, cause they didn't enjoy it, so it gets a rotten.

That makes more sense. Thanks for the info.
 
Everything I wanted to hear and more. Buying my tickets tonight for this!
Agreed. Dan and Roth are some of my favourite critics to listen to and they had an interesting review that I recommend rest of yall watch.
 
Really liked Dan and Roth's review for this. The best youtube movie critic by a considerable margin for me.

Wish you guys spoke spanish so you could hear some youtube reviews from some guys i follow. Almost all of them called it 5/5 and said it's an horror movie.
 
I'm surprised by how many people are calling this a horror movie. They said it's VERY disturbing and hard to watch, kinda like Requiem for a Dream.

I'm not watching the review until after I've seen the movie myself, but I saw Dan's Twitter blurb and I'm really glad he liked it.

When that review was posted yesterday it was a fresh, but it's been changed to a rotten today for some reason.

Lol the critiques they make are exactly the same concerns I have been mentioning.

Was the woman working in IGN years ago?
 
I’m sorry, but seeing a review that’s a 7/10 and still be rotten looks dumb on there. Lol these “negative” reviews with a high score are hilarious. Reviewers are contradicting themselves.

Actually, a 7/10 "rotten score" makes no sense.
 
Like I said, that 7/10 review was considered fresh yesterday but has since been changed to rotten, strange.
 
Oh well. I guess we know what this means, you guys.

Leto will always be the definitive version of the Joker.

A film about being inside the jokers head, I think, needs to feel like a horror film.
 
It'd be at a 77% fresh if the BBC and 7/10 reviews weren't changed to a rotten lol

Sure it does, which is why I explained how or why it happens. And this isn’t even close to the first time something like that has happened. It’s up the critic on whether they want it fresh or rotten. There’s no objective barometer on RT that says if you review a movie over 6/10, it must be labeled fresh.

That’s not how it works.
 
If that critic purposefully made their own 7/10 review count as rotten they're crazy. There is no world where that makes sense.
 
Do you guys not know how RT works?

It’s like every movie it has to be explained here. Bizarre.
 
What about my comment makes it sound like I don't know how it works?

You said this critic labelled their own 7/10 as rotten. That's stupid. They can do it, but they suck at rating movies.

More like they don't give a **** what the internet thinks about their review scores. :funny:

And you all are eager to watch Grace Randolph's review no matter how she rates it. Especially after the Rambo 5 review. :funny:

Apparently not. But it's how it should work. :word:

Conceivably, a critic might evaluate a movie according to two (or more) different criteria. Therefore, it would get two (or more) different scores - catering to the diverse tastes of various consumers. E.g., the same film might earn a high rating (9/10) on the “serious art/great cinema” scale, but a low rating (3/10) on the “fun, escapism” scale. (Arguably, anything by Paul Thomas Anderson would fit this profile. :cwink:) But in this scenario, the two numerical scores would have two separate Tomato designations - one fresh, one rotten. What doesn’t make sense is to have a single numerical score that’s conspicuously at odds with the Tomato.
