Is it just me or RottenTomatoes seem to be easily pleased lately. This does look like a good movie.

Rottentomatoes is very predictable in what they like.

Since when does RottenTomatoe like anything? They take scores of other sites and all they do is counting every score above a 60 as fresh and below 60 as rotten. And when 95% of all reviews had a score of above 60, then it has a 95% score which only tells us that 95% were minimum a 60.

And if a movie does get 100 reviews of whom 10 are a 0-59 and 90 are a 60, then it will get a 90% even when the highest single score was a 60 and the average score a 50 or something. 

That's pretty much the whole system of RT, counting what is below or above 60.
