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...

A red tomato score indicating its fresh status, is designated when at least 60% of the reviews are positive.
Sep 19, 2017 · Method: The Tomatometer, Rotten Tomatoes' ranking system, draws on a pool of around 3,000 professional movie critics who meet a certain set of criteria. All reviews are parsed and distilled from a traditional point or star system of 5 or 10 stars into a single, simple, thumbs up or thumbs down review - "fresh," or "rotten."
