06/13/2008 | A great site for checking out reviews. Of course, you'll need experience with the site to learn what kind of movies you'll most likely enjoy even if the reviews are less than stellar. Many decent comedies tend to be rated between 40-60%.
However, within the last few years the site has gotten slower and slower, with more popups and ads crammed into every page. I prefer imdb more to avoid all the in-your-face ads. They're really turning off alot of viewers. They need to go back to a faster site and less intrusive ads. If you don't respect your target audience, they'll stop respecting you.

09/24/2007 | No, the rating system is not perfect. But it's still the best way to get a feel for the overall consensus of a movie. At the very least, I don't see movies that received below 70% on the tomatometer.

12/06/2005 | Yeah, it's a bad website. There are too many ads, and the rating system is dubious, really. They're listing reviews that give 2 1/2 stars out of 4 into the fresh ratings for movies. I'm sorry, I don't pay to see 2 1/2 star movies in the theater. Yes, it's a bit deceptive, I won't trust this site as much anymore...

12/13/2004 | The best movie site I've come across. It is my go to site. The ads are getting a bit annoying though.

10/25/2004 | This is the first place I go to when I want to know if a movie sucks or not. Then I go to imdb to get a second opinion and read cast info ect.

09/29/2004 | Far and away the best movie site. Gives you a percentage based on how many critics approved or disapproved of a movie, and also a consensus of their opinions. It's a lot of fun to check out reviews of terrible films in your free time.

09/04/2004 | The best website for movie fans period. You can search movies by title, actor, or director. You can research a actor or director's career and browse thousands of reviews from all over the country. It has ads that are a little annoying, but the content more than makes up for it. One of the top 10 websites I have ever seen.

09/02/2004 | Rotten Tomatoes is great because for each movie, it collates reviews written by professional movie critics. I know popular opinion and box office sales don't always match the opinion of film critics, but critics have seen a lot of movies, they know a lot about movies, and they are likely to know more about what they are looking at, for example: Is this movie so and so's most convincing or original work? Is there another movie in this genre that does a better job of entertaining? Is this writer a formulaic one-trick pony or is this new script really original? I don't think it ever hurts to read critics' thoughtful and informed opinions before spending precious time and money viewing a movie.

07/06/2004 | Not as good as imdb - mostly because of the graphics. It seems to run slower than imdb. However, Cream of the Crop feature is terrific.

04/07/2004 | An informative and fun site that groups the reviews of many of the top movie critics. Each movie features the reviews, a synopsis, cast list, a discussion board and some even have trailers you can download. Also lists movies that are currently released, and ones that are coming soon. There is even reviews of DVD's, video games and a tomatoepicker which will pick the best movies in whatever genre or subgenre you desire. Once you get used to the site, it's easy to navigate.
