Rotten Tomatoes Reviews

I started to see that Rotten Tomatoes reviews didn’t make sense then I read how they are paid foe positive reviews. I don’t use them anymore. There reviews are useless!

I was put on the platform, they ask for a lot of money for a deposit and when I refused to pay the last one, they showed me two types of rules on the platform that contradicted each other. They explained to me that some were for me and the others in the help center were not. Complete scammers. I think we should gather all the cheated people and judge them because we are clearly not few.

I have been invited to a trial and earn my first bonus after completing my first task. Now they are asking for a deposit of £50 to continue with more task. This seems a fraud. And thank to trust pilot to help people find this fraud in time.

I was asked you to pay a deposit for a movie evaluation (supposedly, a movie ticket is purchased and the evaluation "earns" 0.9% commission). Then they came up with premium order bonus that cause the price of the supposed movie ticket to skyrocket making my available funds in the account not to be enough and a negative balance appears. in order to evaluate further, I was required to cancel the minus balance by bringing in more money. That is, after starting the evaluation with an amount of £100 without being informed or offered the premium package.

I would give it a 0 if I could. They don't actually care about the audience as a whole. They only care about the woke minority. They literally only use critics that bring down the scores if they have some issue with diversity or feminism or someone makes a trans joke. But they don't care about Asian minorities, or Indians, or gingers or any other minorities than what is currently popular. Don't use them. Don't look at their scores. They love a good cancel culture so please get them cancelled as the useless site they are

they are complete frauds. have nothing to do with them. you will lose all your money only. they make fake reviews of movies. every time they ask you to pay a deposit for a movie evaluation (supposedly, a movie ticket is purchased and the evaluation "earns" 0.9% commission. then they also come up with premium order bonuses that cause the price of the supposed movie ticket to skyrocket. then automatically your available funds in the account are not enough and a negative balance appears. in order to evaluate further, you have to cancel the minus balance by bringing in your real money. this is how the deposit is grown, it is grown by mathematical progression (your last previous negative balance doubles). that is, after starting the evaluation with an amount of £100, the deposit can be grown up to 6-8k

I also joined the rotten tomatoes critic reviews. I paid money but was put on a premium showing so went into negative and they asked me for more money to review films. I refused to pay and the agent I worked for got all snarky about it. Do not fall for it. I paid £50 and that sounds good because they are going to pay you commission on top of it. All you have to do is complete 3 tasks and you get that back plus some money on top. Then they sneak you into a premium deal so you go into negative and have to pay them more money before they release back what you have already paid. It's a big scam. I've also heard that the site is going down so it's probably their way of making easy money before it happens. Don't fall for it.

Let me just add to the already scathing reviews that rotten tomatoes must have been paid to give "The Royal Hotel" a great review. I made it halfway through the film, and can hardly imagine a less imaginative plot. By now, anyone who doesn't know that women are vulnerable to sex-deprived, extremely drunk men, has their head in the sand. The subject hardly deserves further exploration, as almost anyone will so stipulate to this fact. The fact that the film is getting as much publicity as it is can only be explained by bribes.

The worst reviews I've ever seen fake incarnet in my opinion.

A lot of people are being scammed by this. Can we please use this platform to reach out and prevent these fraudsters from scamming others.

I sure don't trust those one-star reviews... just annoyed people, not a fair rating. Still, they have a deceitful Cookie policy and you have so much to read to disable them (when it could be easier, if they chose) that I will never revisit their site... back to IMDB, I guess.
Done with sites that demand I accept Cookies or make it difficult to deny them.

I was contacted today for potential work. I had poor support, which ended in insults and a threat. I blocked the first number, then received another insult from someone else immediately. Please advise ?

Won’t be using Rotten Tomatoes ever again. I had been suspicious for a few years about how some objectively terrible films had such high ratings.

And now we know that Disney and other companies have been manipulating the site.

Time to shut it down.

We’re moving ever closer to an Orwellian world. Rewriting history to fit agendas and policing what people say and how we think. RT is one great example of a media platform altering peoples opinions based on agenda. You can’t critique a film that’s controversial no matter how unbiased your opinion is.

I am unable to access Rotten Tomatoes on any browser. Each attempt lands me on a page with the error, "We're sorry, but your browser isn't supported. To enjoy RottenTomatoes.com, try using a newer browser like Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox." The problem is that I did use Google Chrome and Mozilla and landed on the same error message.

Rotten Tomatoes is nothing but a woke company pushing an agenda. They will give genuinely good movies with great stories a below average score because it lacks minorities, but throw in a terrible storyline and a couple of black LGBTQ characters and they'll give it 100%.

*Update, they have now been accused of accepting bribes to manipulate film scores.

If I could give 0 stars and a big fat SCAM pyramid I would. At first they tell you all you have to do is rate movies. You have 3 sets of 28 tasks ro rate. You need to deposit £50 so you get those 3 sets . Which I did. They let you collect your commission which was £50 . Then you deposit again £50 but you get premium order and you go to negative balance which you have to cover. If you don't you can't continue your task and get back your money. I fall for this with £3000 . They don't have a refund policy so now they ask me ro deposit £2900 or my account will be frozen. To unfrozen it its the negative amount X2 which is close to £6000 . And they give 4 days to find the money. When told them they are a bunch of liers and scamers i was threatened to watch my mouth. So basically you loose the money. The deposits and the commission. So if you see rottentomatoes-film.com run away as fast as you can

I find the site quite useful, and generally find it works OK. I do have concerns about some of the scoring though. Recently, I found a film with an audience rating score of 94%, but when I checked each reviewer giving it a 5* "this is the best film I've ever seen" type of review, all had no other reviews on RT at all, and had created accounts just to promote that particular film. There is clear manipulation of the scores.

Feels like these paid reviewers have no dignity in their job... They overpraise all those trash movies meanwhile real movie fans dislike it, that's why they lost all credibility... real movie watchers never trust this lame website.

wish i could give it 0 stars. a platform for white middle aged men rating films written, directed and starred by cis white men. basically a circle jerk of mediocrity. it's a shame because with a the **new fancy technology** in the world, who knows what could have been created. But nah. aged as well as comedies from the 2010's. rotten as 5hit.
