Since Suicide Squad premiered, the reviews have swayed away from the 'Fresh' score to a 'Rotten' one. Fans even petitioned to get the site shut down due to favoritism. Their claim:
“We need this site to be shut down because It’s [ sic ] Critics always give The DC Extended Universe movies unjust Bad Reviews,”If you're like me, you stay away from reviews and wait to make your own. Critics and fans alike hated Batman V. Superman, according the site, however, if you read users reviews from IMDb, reviews leaned in the films favor. Is there something wrong going on at Rotten Tomatoes or does Rotten Tomatoes have users that favor a certain type of movie?
Regardless of what is going on, this could be the beginning of the end for the site, seeing that it's bringing to light some questions that can ruin its cred. Take this article for example:
http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/movies-news-reviews/article93975472.html
The author explains in the first part about what the problem is that's been going on and the second part (both parts are short and the second begins after the video post) goes on to explain their experience while rating/reviewing movies, Tarzan (for example) versus Suicide Squad. Both got the same score of 2.5 (by the user) but Tarzan got the 'Fresh' seal of approval while Suicide Squad received the dreaded 'Rotten'. (Pictured Above).
Something smells rancid to me.
