What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating? (lemmy.world)

I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Yeah but the tomato is score has more than that first year of ratings on it right?

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Uhhhh, I dunno, I suppose that's possible. Rotten Tomatoes wasn't around in 2000, was it? Would they have aggregated from, like, newspaper reviews at the time?

That's a damn good question let me look it up

From their FAQ:

Rotten Tomatoes has a team of curators whose job is to gather thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team constantly collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications generating Tomatometer scores. Our curation process considers these reviews, noting if they are Fresh or Rotten, and our curators choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
