ROTTEN TOMATOES: Losing its cred? Probably.



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:

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.

Suicide Squad: Worth A Trip to the Theater? Or Worth A Red Box?



A puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is, Suicide Squad assembles an all-star team of supervillains and then doesn’t know what to do with them. - The Hollywood Reporter
As with Batman V. Superman, critics and fans were highly disappointed with the result of Suicide Squad, however, I am one of the few who actually enjoyed BVS. Sure, it was messy and long and had flaws (like any movie) I still connected to it and still enjoyed it. Although I have yet to see Suicide Squad, I will in a few hours, I believe that people should still go out to see a movie to judge it. Critics are tired of super heroes and fans have gotten super hero films for so long now, they (we) feel entitled to Oscar worthy performances, visual effects, music and story.

If you were expecting a review, sorry. I won't give my opinion in the attempt to brainwash you into thinking what I believe is right. Form your own opinion. It's ok not to genuinely like the film but remember, it's also ok to like it if you do.
