80/100 looks like a wonderful score for a movie, especially if you don't know that the TM is just the percentage of critics who rated the film 60/100 or greater. The TM is 80% but the average critics score is 6.3/10. I bring a lot of this up because of films like Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again. Seeing a nice fresh tomato or seeing a green splat could be the difference between somebody spending their hard earned rupees on this film. If two more people would've rated it below 60 it would've hit a 58.82%, which would've been rounded up to 59% and would've been a rotten film and given a little green "splat" icon. If one more of those people would've rated it rotten (less than 60/100), than it would've been a 59.8% which they probably would've rounded it up to 60%, still keeping it fresh. If you do the math, the score was rounded up from 60.78%. A weird thing is, is that there are a total of 102 reviews counted for this movie and 62 of them are fresh, and 40 of them are rotten. While 61% of critics rated Hotel Transylvania 3 a 60/100 or higher, enough of the critics who listed it below 60/100 listed it so low that the average ends up being 5.4/10. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation: 61%/5.4 Here is a layout of what is currently in theaters (TM/Average Critics Score): Generally, from watching this for many years, I have noticed that when a film is "rotten" the average critic score is typically higher than the TM and when a film is "fresh" the average critics score is typically lower. The perception of these ratings tend to distort the average of what critics actually thought. While I do enjoy that movie, if you look at the actually average critic rating of the movie it drops that down to 7.5/10, which is still super good but look much worse than a 92/100. For example, if you see a film with a 92% TM, like the rating that Steven Soderbergh's "Logan Lucky" has, you'd probably think that's an amazing score and for many people, in their brains, they assume this movie must be an A- movie. This piece of knowledge can drastically change the representation of what a film was truly thought of.
The "Tomato Meter" (TM) represents the percentage of critics who rated the movie 60/100 or more. This being the Reddit community, I might be preaching to the choir here but I figure I would at least give it a shot. This discrepancy can lead to people not really getting a fair idea of what critics truly think of a movie.
The number one thing that comes up that I have noticed as a huge discrepancy with the truth is what does the "Tomato Meter" actually represent on Rotten Tomatoes. I've talked to people throughout the years about rating systems and which they follow and why. I have been wanting to write an article about internet movie rating systems for a while now.
