[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9241898, member: 85555"] I use it a long with a lot of other sources to get a general sense of things, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt. I review and discuss a lot of movies on may podcast and usually make a point after we have recorded to check out Rotten Tomatoes and read reviews (I also go back and watch TV reviews like Siskel and Ebert, Leonard Maltin, etc). The divide between audience and critic score is always interesting to examine. It is also interesting when I watch movies I remember from the past but see the consensus that has formed around them since I viewed them (for example Boondock Saints was a pretty film I remember a lot of people liking through word of mouth, but in the wake of the internet, it has a different reputation I think). With movies I think it is always best to just start with your own genuine reaction. These days, I think due to the internet, a lot of reviews feel like they are written to please an audience and stake out the exact right territory for the reviews brand. The challenge is when you see a movie sometimes you want a general sense of what the reaction has been. Crowd sourced reviews are one way to get a sense of that. Generally though I get a feel from the people around me to see how close it is. I do find these days on Rotten Tomatoes I am much more likely to be on the side of the audience score than the critic score [/QUOTE]
