The rotten tomatoes initial audience scores are rigged badly.

Still at 97%.

Usually their audience score is accurate. But I notice this time you have to be "verified".

Verified means rigged. It is all part of the huge effort to make this insult a hit. Hollywood is totally invested in this thing. Execs have said they it is woke’s last stand and their chance to prove you can stuff that crap into movies and make money.

The “verified” is there to make sure the reviewer is not a “bot.” That is actually a good thing. (Not a commentary on the movie, just the process. I will probably see it in the middle of this week.)

Verified meaning you have logged in.

Let’s wait and see.

The Odyssey it seems will be playing at the “Culture house” in my neck of the woods only from 15th August, so I have the luxury to hear from others who see it before me

Rotten Tomatoes is totally rigged.
It was proven with Captain Marvel.
It’s useless.
WDW Pro has already explained the movies first weekend will seem like a blockbuster because of all the IMAX tickets by Nolan
It will drop off after that.

Once the new Spider-Man movie is out, this horrid take on the Odyssey is doomed. That movie will bury Odyssey in the first weekend.

The movie is woke BS that barely resembles the source material.
I’d be yelling constantly that’s not right

You have to take it for what it is. I took note that Young Washington got 62% from reviewers, but 92% from viewers. I can’t give credit to that outcome, but discount the out some in this move. BYW, I’ve been watching the daily receipts on Washington. When yesterday’s come out some time today they should crack the $40 million level since release on 7/4.

You don’t have to be verified to post a review.Verified reviews are those posted by reviewers who bought their tickets on Fandango.

I have never quite understood the rating system of
Rotten Tomatoes. I usually just avoid reading about their take on movies. It Rotten T. has value to you, read and enjoy!
