“Nice website you’ve got there, hate for anything bad to happen to it.”
Face it Rotten Tomatoes is Rotten
Another business makes itself untrustworthy and unreliable.
Wokeness accomplished!
It’s been drawing some big crowds. But did they make the story politically correct???
You would think that a movie review site would desperately cling to reputation of impartiality… RT sold out to the woke narratives long ago.

You wonder who really owns the Rotten Tomatoes site.... 🤔
I smell something rotten at Rotten Tomatoes
Best place to get an honest review these days is The Critical Drinker, IMHO.
He is definitely not impressed with this film.
‘The Little Mermaid’ Washes Away Box Office Competition with $117 Million Domestic Opening Weekend

It’s making lots of money for Disney.
there are frequently movies that have a wide difference. I saw one recently that critics hated but audience loved. Dont remember what it was..one of the old movies.
Bohemian Rhapsody audience loved it more than critics

It’s raked in $211M so far and imdb gives i 7.6/10. Money is the only rating that matters.
I want to see a remake of “Downfall” with an all-black cast. That ought to be fun!
No parent is basing their decision to go see this movie on Rotten Tomatoes reviews. If your little girl tells you she wants to go see “The Little Mermaid”, it’s very difficult to tell her “no, because Disney is working to corrupt and debase American society”, even though it’s true.
Rotten Tomatoes, in response to perceived “review bombing” - where people who haven’t seen the movie give it highly unfavorable or highly favorable reviews - came up with “Verified Reviews”.
Verified Reviews are people who purchase tickets through certain online providers like Fandango. If you just go to the theater and buy your ticket, you are a lesser reviewer in the eyes of Rotten Tomatoes.
Some are charging that this system is rigged. They claim that major studios can distribute tickets for free through providers like Fandango and harvest good reviews. This certainly seems to be the case with The Little Mermaid remake where the verified reviews have come in at 95% fresh and stayed there and the unverified AND the critics reviews (!) are much, much lower.
I don’t even look at the “verified” audience reviews anymore. I drill straight to “all audience reviews” to see what the real people say.
I watched “Cocaine Bear” last night. It doesn’t have anything to do with a “little mermaid”, but at least it based on a true event.
That was one mean-ass bear…
With very few exceptions, the answer these days is almost universally "No, it will not be worth your while, much less your money."
