- To classify films, we can simply take the movies with the greatest difference between their (normalized) IMDB and Metacritic scores. If we calculate this as Metacritic score - IMDB score, then a high (in absolute terms) negative value means that it’s a fan favourite and a high positive value means that it’s a critical darling.

Making such a recommendation is a lot like saying “this is the best place to look for a movie rating,” which is an evaluative statement, resting on some criteria used to determine what is better, what is worse or worst, and what is best, in this case. For my recommendation, I will use one single criterion: a normal distribution. The best place to l...
Now that we have a criterion to work with, let’s dive into the data. There are a lot of websites out there that come up with their own movie ratings. I have chosen only four, mainly based on their popularity, so that I could get ratings for movies with an acceptable number of votes. The happy winners are IMDB, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacri...
One reason for this choice is that the distribution of Fandango’s movie ratings is the furthest from that of a normal one, having that obvious skew towards the higher part of the movie ratings spectrum. The other reason is the cloud of suspicion around Fandango left by Walt Hickey’s analysis. On October 2015, he was also puzzled by a similar distri...
All in all, I recommend checking the metascore whenever you are looking for a movie rating. Here’s how it works, and its downsides. In a nutshell, the metascore is a weighted average of many reviews coming from reputed critics. The Metacritic team reads the reviews and assigns each a 0–100 score, which is then given a weight, mainly based on the re...
To sum up, in this article I made a single recommendation of where to look for a movie rating. I recommended the metascore, based on two arguments: its distribution resembles the most a normal one, and it is the least correlated with the Fandango rating. All the quantitative and the visual elements of the article are reproducible in Python, as it i...

Sep 19, 2017 · Movie review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes have become a big part of the movie dialogue, but how are the scores calculated and what do they mean?
Rotten Tomatoes employs a ratings system that categorizes films into “Fresh” or “Rotten” based on critic reviews. A film is considered “Fresh” if it receives more positive reviews than negative ones. The Tomatometer score, displayed as a percentage, reflects the proportion of positive reviews a movie has received from accredited ...
Aug 31, 2017 · As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie.
