discussion High ratings you don't understand?

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Which are some films/shows that has high ratings on IMBD, RT and so on, but you don't understand or agree with ?

 

Me and my friend used to watch Lucifer because it was so bad it was funny, and I was shocked to find out that it has 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. The dialogue, the acting and the writing cracks me up, Tom Ellis should be glad he's hot 

 

What about you, what movie/film taught you to never trust ratings ? 

 

[PieceByPiece_KC]

30 - 88 on MC

Evermore - 85 on MC

Anything with Tom Holland getting high ratings is highly suspicious 

 

Except fot "The Impossible"

I don’t know how the new horror movie X has 95% on RT as it’s genuinely one of the worst horror movies I’ve ever seen. 

 

I’m also a massive horror fan, but nothing about it was good, which is a shame as the trailer made it look like it was going to be fun. 

[EdgeofTeeth]

I can only amount the high 80s/90s on RT for Marvel movies to Disney payola tbh

I thought I was the only one who saw it. I screamed so many times. HOW does it have such a high rating?

These are SO weird. I don't know how they all get so many praise. They are basically the same movie each and every time.

[TheOnlyOne]

People rate Breaking Bad as if it’s the pinnacle of television and it’s nothing of the sort. 

[Oceania]

'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Thrones' on IMDB.

 

The latter especially, when even the most diehard fans agree that half of it was mediocre-to-trash.

 

Series in general have it way easier than movies on IMDB tho.

A lot of Marvel movies should be in the 70s on rotten tomatoes 

IMDb is a very reflector of this

This tbh

Spiderman No Way Home being in the 90's on rotten tomatoes is hilarious to me personally

[Beyonnaise]

I personally hated Dune lol

[Liafen]

Heartstopper tbh. Just finished it, it was great but from 100% on RT I expect masterful brilliance. 

[Happylittlepunk]

Dune was a terrible movie yet the ratings for it is nothing but pure propaganda.

This. Those derivative formulaic paint by numbers cookie cutter toy commercials deserve the same ratings that Netflix action films get. 30-60%.

Thor: Ragnarok. An absolute disgrace with humor only a 10 year old would find epic.

i liked X and it's a great movie but i feel like most of the acclaim is given because of the director's track record. it's the same thing with Knives Out and Ready or Not, they're all well made movies but nothing groundbreaking. most of the hype is because the director's previous works.

Game of thrones by far, you can see the quality starts to drop in the middle os season 4, slightly, and then it's downhill from there, but they still got really high ratings

[LustSpell]

Breaking Bad is steaming hot GARBAGE.

[Broken]

The first Wonder Woman movie, Shazam! and The BOMB Squad.

See, I really enjoyed Knives Out and Ready or Not. Especially Ready or Not, so I understand their acclaim. I just didn’t enjoy X at all. I kept waiting and hoping it was going to become good, but it just didn’t in my eyes. 

[Smarticle]

Annihilation (2018) with 88% RT score by critics

 

 

the audience score is 66% and even on IMDb it's 6.8/10
