Luckily, though, Batman – at least for now – is finished. So the critics of Rotten Tomatoes can sleep well. Until The Hobbit hits the screens…

So much information is segmented into seperate websites where you can just find like-minded individuals who always agree with you or propose the same biases, and at the same time everyone is encouraged to “comment” or “like” or “score” everything.

It creates an environment where people feel like their opinions are always important (whether they are making an actually valid argument or not), and also have come to the conclusion that there is a “right” opinion and a “wrong” one. Add anonymity to it and it just gets worse.

I see this horrible trend everywhere, from Yelp to Amazon reviews to Metacritic user reviews. Everything is either a “10” or a “1”, and anyone who has a different opinion is either lying, a stooge for the company, or some other crazy reason.

It’s kind of embarrassing in the end. Not only because it just makes it harder for intelligent discourse or dissenting opinions to happen, but also because people seem to be really apathetic towards so many horrible things going on in the world, but then seem to become really emotionally invested over a comic book movie.

I don't know if there is a twist, I was being sardonic,

seriously though.. I think there is a serious issue with RT. what does it mean …"top critic"??

a guy who haven't watched prestige and has on his top 10 of the year Final Destination 5, puts a title …Dark knight feels more like Batman Forever..

what does that even mean? is he trolling everyone out? in contrary to the "good Burton ones" …shall I remind the scene with the penguin speech where batman puts a CD and hijacks the mics to ruin penguin speech and… then he does a little bit of "dj scratching" ..just to have fun.. …So are we not to expect a scratching digital disk scene from the Dark knight? omg it's like Batman Forever. …what a joke that guy is.. but then why does he get to be a critic? what are the credentials anyways?

not only I don't disagree with taking down the comments. I take it to the next level. Nobody should post reviews for this film before we see it.

Congress should pass a law…

If you are complaining about comments with spoilers before the film is released, don’t bring up what those spoilers might be on other websites. It is enough to say that there are spoilers being passed around but to state that there is a ‘twist’ is kind of lame. I share your apathy towards RT but keep it under control.

..See they started ruining it already!!!!!

Pass your review put your stars – tomatoes whatever. do your thing. Why you feel the need to comment??? why do you want to fart near me? hm??? do you want to spoil?

oh please don’t give the ethical freedom of speech crap look. We live in the shittiest fucking sociopolitical environment ever uncounted in human history we’re being fucked constantly from every hole ..and now you remembered to be all sensitive about your so called “right” to talk about.. a movie?? How about all your other rights?

Guess what. YOU DON’T DESERVE THAT RIGHT.

I think it’s the same mentality as posters of reviews on Amazon, e.g. the reason you shouldn’t buy a PS3 (or whatever) is because it doesn’t have x, y and z. These come out before product releases and from people who haven’t actually purchased the product.
It makes getting feedback on products and films I might wish to purchase / see, very frustrating.

I thinks it’s a mixture of people wanting their fifteen minutes and not having the wit to realise that other people have the intelligence to work out their bleeding obvious points themselves.

The one good thing about Rotten Tomatoes is that you can see the actual reviews from bona fide critics.

I think Filmjunk should publish reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
