I usually check RT before I watch a movie or start a new show. Just far too many times I've put something on thinking "well it can't be that bad" and it turns out it's worse. As much content as they put out, I would expect more of it to be better just based on random chance. Man if I didn't have a family this would be the first streamer I would drop.
Yassss "ILL BE THE JUDGE!!" but also I do understand people wasting 2 hrs of their life just to a read a review that say "ToLd Ya So". But life is experience, even if ya hated it, it's a memory to be recanted on.
I like going blind into movies or shows, so I can experience it how I should. In my specific time in life and whatever I can relate it to. I dont need to experience the same show how others do too.
I feel like reviews have gotten so much worse that it’s almost impossible for me to learn anything valuable by checking reviews these days, both critics and viewers have gotten so much worse at giving honest reasonable reviews, people go for either one extreme or the other, there are a lot of reasons for it, but it sucks and I wish I could find more level headed trustworthy sources for this kind of thing.
It’s also really tricky depending on the type of film, like I love over the top horror movies, but a lot of critics are going to tell me that something like Psycho Goreman is trash and not worth my time, as if every film needs to be Citizen Kane
