The toothy villain is humanised and made sympathetic in this disappointing horror sci-fi – at which point it ceases to be the Predator

That site confuses me

It’s pretty simple. The Rotten Tomatoes score rounds reviews to positive or negative.

So a boring movie where near every critic says “Eh… It was mediocre” gets a 90%.

A wild, polarizing movie gets trashed because many “mixed” reviews will count as negative.

Ahhhh that explains it. Do you know a more reliable site?

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Mmmm, for movies?

I'm not an expert, but I typically look at Reelgood and IMBD, especially at folks that take the time to write out reviews there.
