Hook. It’s always Hook.

That movie has a 29% rotten tomato rating..

How the fuck?

Rotten Tomatoes is, and always has been, an absolutely abysmal place to go to find out if a movie is good.

Plex uses it other than that I don't give them a click

Aren't those tomato meter scores the aggregate of critic reviews? On cult classics, low-brow, or franchises with baggage, the user reviews are way more likely to match the vibe of a movie.

Funnily enough, it's almost the complete opposite for independent movies made for "film people". Or plots that require critical thinking or deep attention (the latter is my own Achilles' heel)--where the user score is garbage, but the critic score (and thus, the tomato meter) is more likely to match your own (if you're into movies like that).
