If you want to know if this film is truly great and Oscar worthy, then you should check Metacritic. They use an average rating which is better as far as gauging a film.
I wouldn't get too frustrated with RT.
:suicide:
Guys, I'm sure I'll love TDKR as much as you will (maybe even more :modesty:) but this is just stupid.
Metacritic is ONE OF THE WORSE SITES to judge a film.
First: It's too elitist, it just picks 'Metacritic and Its Awesome Friends'. What's the difference between this and the
modus operandi of the Academy, who snubbed The Dark Knight.
Second: Besides, if you say it the first problem doesn't really matter because Top Critics are better - SURPRISE! A lot of Top Critics (who don't believe in the rating system) are excluded, so no, the critics you read at Metacritic are no
crème de la crème, they are just four guys and a dog.
Third: As a consequence of its elitism, it's very genre biased. It's simple, because critics are human and have their bias, it's translated into the score.
Conclusion: Even with ALL ITS FLAWS, Rotten Tomatoes establishes a much more coherent consensus based on wider reviews, which is translated into less 'bias', a more accurate (if such thing can really exist) score for the film and a better balance between Score and Percentage (for the reasons I wrote in a prior post, I'll repeat them if it's needed).
