Rotten Tomates just goes Fresh/Rotten.
I believe its like 60/100, 60%, 6/10 wahtever is considered FRESH.
So a reviewer gives a movie a 6/10, on Rotten tomatoes that means fresh, or 100% basically. On metascore it means 60%
If a reviewer gives a movie a 5/10, on Rotten Tomatoes that means rotten or 0%. On metascroe it means 50%
RT is a all or nothing kind of thing. Just look at it as a "what percent of movie goers liked the movie" Not how much they liked it, just liked it. I usually am more excited for amovie if it gets less than 50% score. Polarizing movies are the best. They take risks. They can be what I consider fresh. The movies that get 80-100% on RT are safe. They follow a formula and try to appeal to everyone.
Now sure watching that 50% or less score movie, I may be on the side that hates the movie, but i may also be on the side that found itself a new gem.
