 Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Forrest Gump: 72%
It's universally loved, won best picture, kind of low rating for such a film.
What others have you come across?

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Spider-Man 3 being fresh (63%) is a champ
Crash at 75%, I feel like in both quality and race card it's the type of films critics pop for
Star Trek Into Darkness 87% is just, please

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines at 70% is also incredible.
You wonder what kind of film the critics were watching to get it so fresh.
I've heard, but for the time the action was kick-ass. Nowadays critics don't go for that anymore, and still find it weird if at the time they did.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings I like T3, i would give it 3 stars out of 4.
Spider-Man 3 at 63% is laughable, today it would get 10%.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Gump would get 90% today but I guess the grungey 90s critics were turned off by its heart warmig earnestness. Life is only about pain.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Home Alone is fucking Rotten. I think it should at least be in the 70's like Mrs. Doubtfire
I wonder how the first two HP movies are in the 80's when everyone seems to think they are not very good.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Home Alone is just a victim of the pre-Internet era. Not all reviews were online.

RT is kind of useless for any pre-internet film. It's not like they go back and search old newspapers to get the reviews from, say, 1940. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

The only reviews recorded pre-2000 were those from Entertainment weekly at the time of the film's release. All others seems to be taken from post-2000 online reviews.

For some reason, I think there's been some sort of backlash against the film's corniness as time has gone on. I don't get it. The movie works for me as well now as it ever did. And Zemeckis has always been corny. _________________My DVD Collection

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Equilibrium 38%
Crazy, action film wise I would compare it to John Wick, and that got an 85% score.
Maybe an 80's score would be too high, but Equilibrium should at least be fresh.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Beauty and the Beast is just at 92%, the same score as A Bug's Life. Really good, but it's not on par with a Pixar score.

Re: Inexplicable Rotten Tomato Ratings Not RT, but ROTJ has a 53 at Metacritic, lower than AOTC's 54 and RoTS's 68.
