How does the tomatometer work

Have a tomatometer? by » 9 years ago(October 31, 2015 12:35 AM) Reply | Member since April 2012 Exactly, they're also using that praying coach in Bremerton to stir up frenzy, I think they're also tooting their own horn a bit. Re: How does this not have a tomatometer? by » 9 years ago(October 17, 2015 11:50 PM) Reply | Member since July 2000 That's because the people who went to see it, mostly knew what kind of movie to expect, and liked this kind of thing. CinemaScore rankings are usually high right after a viewing anyway.

Also what would you say is "Good Cinematography"?

How does this not have a tomatometer? by » 9 years ago(October 16, 2015 08:32 PM) Reply | Member since February 2015 This is truly strange. We have a wide release film, and on opening day there aren't even enough reviews to form a Tomatometer? How does this happen? How come this film is so invisible? Re: How does this not have a tomatometer? by » 9 years ago(October 17, 2015 01:41 AM) Reply | Member since March 2014 Well it's not a large wide release, it's only 1500 theaters. The film is just another christian football film by director's known for doing those types of religious films. I saw it yesterday on the 16th but it wasn't good. The acting was really bad, cheesy almost, and the cinematography was plain awful. I would give it a 4/10. The story itself is an intriguing one however it is not something original, it's all been done before.

It doesn't matter how predictable and hammy the movie is, because it is PG and suits their values, it is beyond criticism. Re: How does this not

Rating on Rotten Tomatoes involves a couple of steps, depending on whether you want to rate as an audience member or as a critic. Here’s a guide on how to do both:1. Audience Rating (User Score)If you’re an ordinary viewer and want to contribute to the audience score, follow these steps:Create an Account:Go to the Rotten Tomatoes website.Sign up for an account or log in if you already have one.Find the Movie/Show:Use the search bar to find the movie or TV show you want to rate.Rate the Movie/Show:Once you’re on the movie or show’s page, scroll down to the “Rate and Review” section.You’ll see an option to give it a star rating (from 0.5 to 5 stars).Optionally, you can also write a review.Submit Your Rating:After selecting your star rating and writing a review (if you choose to), click the “Submit” button.Your rating will be added to the audience score, and your review may be visible on the site.2. Critic Rating (Tomatometer Score)The Tomatometer score is based on reviews from approved critics. To become an approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes, follow these steps:Establish Yourself as a Critic:You need to be a professional critic with a track record of published reviews in a reputable outlet (newspapers, websites, etc.).Apply for Critic Status:Rotten Tomatoes has a submission process for critics. You can apply through the website by providing your credentials, samples of your work, and information about where your reviews are published.Submit Reviews:Once approved, you can submit your reviews to Rotten Tomatoes.Your review will contribute to the Tomatometer score if it meets their standards.Notes:Audience Ratings impact the Audience Score, represented by a popcorn bucket icon.Critic Ratings impact the Tomatometer, represented by the tomato icon.If you simply want to see how ratings are calculated or interact with other users’ reviews, you can do so on the Rotten Tomatoes site or app without needing to submit your own rating.

Comes from users trying to sink the rating of the film to dislodge it from the top spot.You’ll see this throughout countless films within the top 100, and I have to ask, doesn’t that completely negate the authenticity of this list? Rotten Tomatoes ScoreMoving on to perhaps the most famous and recognizable audience score metric, the Rotten Tomatoes score system (also called the Tomatometer®) almost overnight went from a fun, gimmicky website to a powerhouse within the film industry.Like IMDb, I don’t personally remember the first time I went to the Rotten Tomatoes website. Still, I remember the first time I saw a Rotten Tomatoes score listed in a television commercial to promote the film. It’s become that powerful of a metric, yet it still feels a bit flawed at its core.Unlike IMDb, which is open to anyone, Rotten Tomatoes divides its scores into its Tomatometer (which is “based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics”) and an Audience Score (which is cast by users who can verify that they bought a ticket to the film).Originally, the critical Tomatometer was the dominant score metric in the film industry (and perhaps still is today). It does a good job of sifting through recognized critics across the world to get somewhat of a consensus.Yet, in recent years, the idea of critics being the true gatekeepers of what defines a film as “good” or “bad” has come under scrutiny more and more, and the Audience Score has become a necessary tool to offer more of a counterbalanced and holistic decider of a film’s success.Like IMDb, you’ll often see users organizing a suggested coup of a film’s audience rating through a method called “review bombing.” This is where countless internet users rate the film poorly the moment the audience scores go

Netflix doesn’t do average.The streaming-video behemoth’s original movies are either great or abysmal, a Quartz analysis of Rotten Tomatoes scores reveals. There’s virtually nothing in between. Movies branded by Netflix as originals and released in the US in 2018 have Tomatometer scores of 60% or higher, meaning they’re considered “Fresh,” or worth a watch, by critics on the site, or they have “Rotten” scores of 31% or less.The Tomatometer measures the share of critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes that were considered positive. Quartz analyzed the scores of the 25 Netflix-branded originals released in the US in 2018, as of July 31, with at least 10 reviews on the review-aggregation site, as well as those released in US theaters by the 10 top-grossing movie studios, per Box Office Mojo.Major-studio releases run the gamut. In 2018, studios like Disney, Universal, and Fox put out movies considered by critics to be truly excellent (Black Panther, 97%), remarkably mediocre (Red Sparrow, 47%), and barely watchable (Fifty Shades Freed, 13%). Of the 79 major-studio movies analyzed by Quartz, 19 have scores between 35%-60% on Rotten Tomatoes.Netflix, by comparison, has nothing in that middle range on Rotten Tomatoes. Its best-reviewed movies of 2018, so far, are international films like the mother-daughter drama Sunday’s Illness (94%), and the dark thriller Calibre (93%). The worst-reviewed are sci-fi thrillers like How It Ends (15%), The Cloverfield Paradox (17%), and Extinction (27%).The streaming-video giant says its doesn’t care what critics say. It makes movies people want to watch, whether those are arthouse flicks for cinephiles or irreverent comedies for casual viewers. That may be why its titles either hit big with critics, or totally bomb. Comedian Adam Sandler’s movies are consistently panned by critics, yet Netflix says they’re among the most watched on the service. Netflix’s 2017 movie Bright, starring Will Smith, also had terrible reviews but audiences loved it.Seven of the 25 (28%) Netflix movies analyzed by Quartz scored lower than 25% on the Tomatometer, while that was true of just seven of the 79 (8%) movies released by major studios. The average score for 2018 Netflix movies is 58%, a little less than the 63% those from major studios average. Netflix’s median score was similar to the major studios, with 64% and 65%, respectively.Netflix doesn’t release all of its movies in theaters—and when it does, the releases are usually limited—so it has more room to experiment. (These days, the only consistently profitable movies in theaters are big-budget event films like Avengers: Infinity War, which gross billions worldwide, or buzzy niche fare like Get Out that can be made cheaply and earn big.)It’s putting out more of the movies other studios are shying away from, including adult dramas like
