Couple things I found wrong with this post:

3. The reason the Rotten Tomatoes system works so well is because you weigh all of the different factors into the movie before saying whether you approve of it or not. You might consider all the good and bad points in the movie and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. And even if you think that's imperfect, how could anyone possibly weigh all the different points of a game into a scale out of 10 or 100? That's far more illogical.

Have you actually read the reviews? Some that are considerred "fresh" have a relatively harsh review, whilst others considerred "rotten" are actually quite positive about the movie. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't work as well as metacritic for example, because it's adding an extra layer of interpretation and subjectivity to the whole process and to the final metric. Opinions aren't black and white (or fresh and rotten).
