Martin Scorsese: Rotten Tomatoes Is Hostile to Filmmakers & Not Real Film Criticism
RT fags BTFO !
>“These firms and aggregators have set a tone that is hostile to serious filmmakers—even the actual name Rotten Tomatoes is insulting. And as film criticism written by passionately engaged people with actual knowledge of film history has gradually faded from the scene, it seems like there are more and more voices out there engaged in pure judgmentalism, people who seem to take pleasure in seeing films and filmmakers rejected, dismissed and in some cases ripped to shreds. Not unlike the increasingly desperate and bloodthirsty crowd near the end of Darren Aronofsky’s mother!”
He's right. The whole system is a fraud. Bring it all down.
Lucas Bennett
Why can't Hollywood just shut it down? They have billions in the war chest.
Blake Robinson
>“After I had a chance to see mother!, I was even more disturbed by this rush to judgment, and that’s why I wanted to share my thoughts. People seemed to be out for blood, simply because the film couldn’t be easily defined or interpreted or reduced to a two-word description.”
Sup Forums BTFO !
Jose Cruz
Should've said this when BvS was being torn apart. But now when it's Aronofsky affected, everyone cares.
Camden Thompson
Film is just one more thing on the list of things that the internet has ruined.
Asher Barnes
>website just collects other people's scores and tallies them up >"y-you're a b-b-b-big b-b-b-bully!" Stop making shit movies and you'll stop getting shit scores.
Hudson Jones
The reviews written by 'professional' 'reviewers' seem like written by teenagers or SJW college dropouts.
Brayden Thompson
Shut the fuck up mongrel you're talking about Scorsese here.
Gabriel Diaz
Amazing, isn't it? And BvS is ten times the topical, well-crafted allegory "mother!" is.
Well yeah he's obviously right about everything here, but any thinking person has already known this for years and years.
Oliver Hill
but, blade runner 2049, a movie that get really positive reviews just bombed
Sebastian Brooks
Scorsese doesn't get shitty scores.
Evan Jackson
That won't affect the director's credibility. Poor reviews do.
Jason Lewis
Remember when the staff of NPR's This American Life got their testosterone levels checked and even the staffer with the highest levels was still in the bottom quintile of males in his age group?
Someone should check the T levels of these nu-male critics, you'd be hard pressed to find a single more cucked demographic any where in the world
Henry Fisher
Bauman blown the fuck out.
Henry Harris
It's not that he's necessarily wrong, but if you're going to criticize a declining product with decreased quality and standards, the biggest culprit is still the actual movies.
Maybe when the cynical cash grabs, capeshit/disney shit and soulless remakes cease reviews ill improve.
Henry Harris
Well obviously, its a simple aggregator.
Thomas Flores
>People seemed to be out for blood, simply because the film couldn’t be easily defined or interpreted or reduced to a two-word description.”
Christian allegory
Easton Bennett
Is that true? Do you know which epusode it was?
Alexander Garcia
RT is nothing more than just a collection of rejects that couldn't cut it in real journalism, so they write the most scathing or controversial reviews in order to get attention.
Michael Thomas
except it's an aggregator, not it's own independent group of reviewers, so wrong again.
Ian Reyes
I think it's more important that RT inherently rewards inoffensive, mass appeal, mediocrity. A perfect RT score just means that nobody hated it. But somebody always hates it when you takes risks and make art.
Dylan Green
Kiddo, this makes no sense when movies like The Force Awakens and every other Mouseshit get the highest ratings critics can slobber out
However, the Tomatometer is bad and should be shut down. Or at least pushed into the background with the Average Rating made the primary statistic on display.
Daniel Gonzalez
Blade Runner and Silence belong on top
Star wars and OGF belong on bottom.
Isaiah Wilson
DC movies prove Scorcese's point, my good brainlet
Nicholas Hill
>people who seem to take pleasure in seeing films and filmmakers rejected Literally Sup Forums. It's like pottery that most of Sup Forums acts exactly like the numales whose reviews are featured at RT.
Connor Foster
they decide which people are recognized as legit critics and who aren't
Brandon Parker
Of course, Sup Forumsirgins are also hilariously Low T
Sup Forumsirgins have marginally better taste imo but their behavior is identical
Jace Powell
He's right. Reviewers are 90% cocky cynics who can only see things in black or white where a movie can either be awful or a masterpiece. There's no nuance in these things anymore, just masturbatory word diarrhea.
Dylan Edwards
I feel like if Force Awakens was reviewed today with some time passed it would be in the low 70's on RT, fuck me that movie was so overhyped by critics.
William Allen
>two-word description Cape shit?????????
Angel Campbell
And? Dumbass we responded to specifically said they wrote the reviews. You're not adding anything here.
Eli Morris
This, the tomatometer is so misleading and not the actual indicator of what reviewers think of the film.
Aiden Stewart
All reviewers seem to bring in social attitudes to their reviews. It really is cancerous as fuck.
I've seen some movies get a bad score from credible reviewers purely because they deemed the characters to be overly 'sexist' or whatever, without accepting that was the intention. One of the worst for this is Mark Kermode, but he gets away with it because he's verbose.
Nicholas Williams
>with the Average Rating made the primary statistic on display. Spot on.
Jason Cox
>This is stupid. RT is just an aggregator. This is true, but so is the fact that film criticism has become markedly worse over the past decade.
Levi Bell
Go back pleb
Camden Stewart
True.
how many critics are influenced because everyone else is saying a movie is good or bad? how many just want to go against the norm to seem "different"? how many are influenced by politics or personal beliefs? the fact that mediocre marvel movies can still get good reviews after making the same movie 15 times in a row. but something new and ambitious while not perfect gets horrible reviews like it's the worst thing ever created is crazy.
film criticism is dead.
Brandon Baker
I unironically agree with this
I doubt it will ever be reconciled though, it's got a reputation as "le worst movie ever" among the public, and it's capeshit so critics will never re-assess it.
Gabriel Cooper
If you look at the new Kingsman reviews, it's absolutely hilarious how many nu-males think their job description is social engineering and not... reviewing films
It's almost as autistic as vidya journalism at this point
Carson Powell
>katie walsh Of course a fucking libcuck would praise nurunner
James Hernandez
considering every major paper/outlet in the country has a dedicated reviewer or two and they're all included, it's a pretty broad pool.
Ian Ramirez
Only plebs use aggregators.
find a couple critics whose opinions you can trust, who aren't influenced by politics and just stick with their reviews.
Gabriel Price
OOGA
Cooper Martin
why would I want group-think confirmation bias? I don't need to read someone who just writes what I want to hear, I can form those opinions myself.
Adam Parker
No one thinks you're cool, newfag lurk more
Dominic Wood
Most RT film critics aren't really film critics and never studied cinema
Carter King
>libcuck would praise nurunner Are you retarded? Libs are smashing it saying it's too white, too sexist.
Ryder Nguyen
I never said that, just opinions you can trust not necessarily agree with.
Ryan Davis
whoops, meant for
Nicholas King
Being able to recognize actual critical thinking isn't the same as seeking confirmation bias.
Jaxson Martinez
>christian Not really , though still influenced by the Bible...it's hardly an orthodox understanding of the faith The movie was fine until the end when it became too obvious that you couldn't interpret it any other way Even Animal Farm isn't that on the nose
Luke Ramirez
Leonard Martin was always a hack
Luke Campbell
>it seems like there are more and more voices out there engaged in pure judgmentalism, people who seem to take pleasure in seeing films and filmmakers rejected, dismissed and in some cases ripped to shreds.
what board does this remind me of...
Lincoln White
NEVER trust RT. only user based sites that aren't trying to sell you "pro passes" and stuff.
Parker Gomez
This.
i have no problem with opinions that challenge my own as long as they are fair. but half of the review scores are not fair and are influenced by if a movie is "too white" or "problematic" that's not criticism and it's worthless to me.
Jeremiah Moore
Wow! Is Scorsese /our guy/?
Jace Hall
Eh, his cameos in American Pie are a bit stupid, but I like the guy anyway.
Anthony Allen
Blade Runner 2049 is an honorary part of the DCEU just like Ghostbusters 2016 is an honorary part of the MCU
Careful, mousedicks, you may not like where this road leads...
Jeremiah Mitchell
Absolutely nailed it mate.
Julian Smith
What's the answer? A third score category for scores from journalists rather than just opinion writers?
Nolan Bailey
Honestly if they just got rid of the tomatometer it would be fine. A lot of times a person gives the movie a 7/10 score, but label it as rotten.
Nathan Barnes
SPOILERS YOU FUCKING FAGGOT.
James Jenkins
maybe if we could rate the reviewers so that we would know which opinion carries the most weight
Lincoln Johnson
I never use Rotten Tomatoes but is there any kind of filter search for reviews? As in can you see the aggregate from a specific a group of reviewers that you pick and choose? Even among "top critics" you might be getting reviews from stuff like Buzzfeed and shit like that which will effect the aggregate.
Ryan Edwards
Miserable fatass who never leaves the basement detected.
Adam Morales
he's half right, the tomatometer needs to fuck off, a 90% rating means a lot didn't really hate not that it's amazing much less good, same goes with a 50%, divisive but not bad per say. With that said however critics nowadays are garbage, either rabid fanboys or retards trying to inject their own politics more or less.
>Stories of people getting more testosterone and coming to regret it. And of people losing it and coming to appreciate life without it. The pros and cons of the hormone of desire.
terrific
Carter Adams
...
Aaron Hernandez
one critic got it right one critic got it wrong
Michael Rodriguez
That's not my point, look at score below. It's same. And critics don't choose whether review is fresh or rotten it is compltely on behalf of site.
Landon Fisher
>alison Another libcuck shill that praised brunner how deep does this go
Nolan Fisher
What the fuck? Those tomatoes are in reverse.
Grayson Cooper
>Martin Scorsese Doesnt know how RT works
embarrassing
Evan Gonzalez
serious question, I feel that ritchie's arthur was cucked by the studio or something, the editing was all over the place and it was like super fucked up, felt like some scenes missing or changed in order. Its night and day if you compare to any of his other movies.
Brayden Gonzalez
Why would you need 2 words to describe it when this film only requires 1: shit.
Owen Roberts
Still buttmad about Blade Runner being the movie of the year? Damn Sup Forumsro you should move on
Landon Cook
SJWs are attacking the movie though, feminists hate the idea of sex robots. The movie got the acclaim despite the liberals, not because of them
Gavin Ross
Like I need RT to know Mother was shit and Aronofsky is a hack.
