It's movie night. You don't know who's coming but you have to pick a movie everyone vibes with. What do you choose? (lemmy.world)

Aren't those tomato meter scores the aggregate of critic reviews? On cult classics, low-brow, or franchises with baggage, the user reviews are way more likely to match the vibe of a movie.

Funnily enough, it's almost the complete opposite for independent movies made for "film people". Or plots that require critical thinking or deep attention (the latter is my own Achilles' heel)--where the user score is garbage, but the critic score (and thus, the tomato meter) is more likely to match your own (if you're into movies like that).
