Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes is useful when you want a quick sense of how a movie landed with critics and audiences. The Tomatometer and audience scores are not perfect (and are sometimes even controversial), but they can help you get a general sense before deciding what to watch. The app also includes trailers, movie pages, reviews, news, and watchlist features.

This is a helpful app when you’re not sure if you should watch something or not. Maybe one movie looks interesting, but you want to see whether audiences liked it. Maybe another has strong critical reviews but mixed audience reactions. Rotten Tomatoes gives you a quick glance at what people think about a movie or show before you spend a few hours on it.

Of course, you shouldn’t let scores decide everything for you. There are some cult classics that most people would consider awful. Some great movies have mixed ratings, and some highly rated movies may not fit your taste. So while it’s a useful guide, you should watch whatever you feel like watching.
