Quick show of hands, who here actually has a Rotten Tomatoes account? I’m genuinely curious about how many people are active on the site, because neither I nor anyone in my social circle has ever reviewed anything there. I suspect that active RT users may be too niche a group to really be representative of audiences overall.
FWIW, Letterboxed (which is the only place I personally ever rate anything) has TLJ with an average score of 3.7 out of 5 stars, with 4 stars being the most popular response by almost twice as much as any of the other responses (I gave it a 4.5).
The 3.7/5 score is in perfect agreement with the 7.4/10 score on imdb. The amazon score is now at 3.5/5 stars.
I have a rotten tomatoes account and I have rated a few movies, but I certainly don’t rate everything I see and I don’t take the time to write an actual review.
I am just fascinated by rotten tomatoes scores. It’s like following sports in a way. The ratings don’t inform my opinion, I make up my own mind regarding what I like and don’t like, but it’s extremely interesting to see how those scores go. I like seeing movies I’m fond of do well. It’s the same with box office numbers.
