Here is a layout of what is currently in theaters (TM/Average Critics Score): Generally, from watching this for many years, I have noticed that when a film is 'rotten' the average critic score is typically higher than the TM and when a film is 'fresh' the average critics score is typically lower. The perception of these ratings tend to distort the average of what critics actually thought. While I do enjoy that movie, if you look at the actually average critic rating of the movie it drops that down to 7.5/10, which is still super good but look much worse than a 92/100. For example, if you see a film with a 92% TM, like the rating that Steven Soderbergh's 'Logan Lucky' has, you'd probably think that's an amazing score and for many people, in their brains, they assume this movie must be an A- movie. This piece of knowledge can drastically change the representation of what a film was truly thought of. The 'Tomato Meter' (TM) represents the percentage of critics who rated the movie 60/100 or more. This being the Reddit community, I might be preaching to the choir here but I figure I would at least give it a shot. This discrepancy can lead to people not really getting a fair idea of what critics truly think of a movie. The number one thing that comes up that I have noticed as a huge discrepancy with the truth is what does the 'Tomato Meter' actually represent on Rotten Tomatoes. I've talked to people throughout the years about rating systems and which they follow and why. I have been wanting to write an article about internet movie rating systems for a while now.
