The Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer system offers a standardized way for moviegoers to examine film reviews. By looking at multiple reviews of the same movie and producing a score based on the percentage of favorable reviews that movie received, Rotten Tomatoes helps users to directly compare films based on their critical reception. However, the system is often controversial, as reviewing a movie is a highly subjective pastime. Writer Bio
