About Rotten Tomatoes ®
Rotten Tomatoes and the Tomatometer score are the world’s most trusted recommendation resources for quality entertainment. As the leading online aggregator of movie and TV show reviews from critics, we provide fans with a comprehensive guide to what’s Fresh – and what’s Rotten – in theaters and at home. And the Tomatometer is just the beginning. We also serve movie and TV fans with original editorial content on our site and through social channels, produce fun and informative video series, and hold live events for fans across the country, with our ‘Your Opinion Sucks’ live shows. If you’re an entertainment fan looking for a recommendation, or to share an opinion, you’ve come to the right place.
What is the Tomatometer®?
The Tomatometer score – based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics – is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans.
Back in the days of the open theaters, when a play was particularly atrocious, the audience expressed their dissatisfaction by not only booing and hissing at the stage, but also throwing whatever was at hand – vegetables and fruits included.
The Tomatometer score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show. A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews.
When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status.
When less than 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a green splat is displayed to indicate its Rotten status.
When there is no Tomatometer® score available, which could be because the Title hasn’t released yet or there are not enough ratings to generate a score.
What is Certified Fresh?
Certified Fresh status is a special distinction awarded to the best-reviewed movies and TV shows. In order to qualify, movies or TV shows must meet the following requirements:
The above requirements for Certified Fresh status are only the bare minimum a film must achieve to qualify for the distinction. A film does not automatically become Certified Fresh when it meets those requirements. The Tomatometer score must be consistent and unlikely to deviate significantly before a film or TV show is marked Certified Fresh.
A Certified Fresh movie or TV season whose score drops and remains consistently below 70% will lose the Certified Fresh designation. The certification removal might not happen as soon as the score drops below 70%; as with CF designation, removal will take place when the score settles.
A movie or TV season that loses Certified Fresh status can regain it by reaching a consistent score of 75% or more and meeting the other minimum requirements.
Curation
Rotten Tomatoes has assembled a team of curators whose job it is to read thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications every day, generating Tomatometer scores. Our curators carefully read these reviews, noting if the reviews are Fresh or Rotten, and choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
What is the Audience Score?
The Audience Score, denoted by a popcorn bucket, represents the percentage of users who have rated a movie or TV show positively. With films for which we can verify users have bought a ticket, the default Audience Score we show is made up of “Verified Ratings,” which represents the percentage of users who have rated a movie or TV show positively who we can verify bought a ticket; it is displayed once enough of those Verified Ratings are in to form a score. For all other titles, we display an “All Audience Score” that includes ratings from people regardless of whether or not we can currently verify they have seen the movie or show. Titles eligible for Verified Ratings have an All Audience Score, too: To see it, just click on the popcorn bucket and you can toggle between both the Verified Audience Score and the All Audience Score. You can read more about recent changes to the score box HERE.
When at least 60% of users give a movie or TV show a star rating of 3.5 or higher, a full popcorn bucket is displayed to indicate its Fresh status.
When less than 60% of users give a movie or TV show a star rating of 3.5 or higher, a tipped over popcorn bucket is displayed to indicate its Rotten status.
When there is no Audience Score available, which could be because the Title hasn’t released yet or there are not enough ratings to generate a score.
When you see this next to a review it means we’ve confirmed the user bought a ticket to the movie. Learn More

Rotten Tomatoes
Обзор игровой и киноиндустрии
Содержание
История
Описание
Rotten Tomatoes включает обзоры дипломированных членов разнообразных гильдий писателей или ассоциаций кинокритиков. Затем персонал определяет каждый обзор как положительный («свежий», обозначается маленьким значком красного помидора) или отрицательный («гнилой», обозначается значком зелёного, заплесневелого помидора). В конце года один из фильмов получает «Золотой помидор», символизирующий самый высокий рейтинг года.
Веб-сайт отслеживает количество всех рецензий (которое может достигать 270 для больших, недавно вышедших фильмов) и процент положительных отзывов в виде таблицы. Если положительных отзывов 60 % и больше, фильм считается «свежим», так как квалифицированное большинство обозревателей одобряет фильм. В противном случае фильм считается «гнилым». Дополнительно, опытные кинорецензенты, такие как Роджер Эберт, Дессон Томсон, Стивен Хантер и Лиза Шварцбаум, перечислены в подсписке, называемом «Top Critics», который заносит их обзоры в отдельную таблицу, при этом учитывая их мнения в общем рейтинге. Когда для формирования заключения набирается достаточно отзывов, публикуется согласованное заявление, которое выражает причины такого мнения. Оценки недавно выпущенных фильмов подкрепляются бо́льшим количеством отзывов, чем более старых фильмов, из-за недостатка обзоров по таким фильмам в архивах.
В дополнение к рецензиям на Rotten Tomatoes есть форумы, на которых тысячи участников обсуждают кино, видеоигры, музыку и другие темы. Кроме того, пользователи сами могут оценивать и рецензировать фильмы. Каждый фильм имеет «среднюю оценку участников», которая вычисляется на основе количества положительных отзывов участников способом, похожим на вычисление оценок критиков. Тем не менее это значение более специфическое, так как участники могут выставлять оценки от 1 до 10 баллов (в отличие от отзывов критиков, которые обычно используют оценку из четырёх звёзд и часто просто указывают на качество исполнения). Как и в случае с рецензиями критиков, оценка 6 и более означает, что фильм «свежий».
Способ оценки фильмов на сайте также подвергался критике за концентрацию внимания на количестве положительных оценок, которые получают рассматриваемые фильмы, вместо самих оценок, из-за чего реальное мнение критиков трудно понять без взгляда на индивидуальные оценки. То есть, если фильм получил всего несколько обзоров и все они дают среднюю оценку, фильм может легко получить общую оценку больше 90 %. В качестве примера могут служить «Токийская полиция крови» и «Borderland».
Связь с кассовыми сборами
Самые «Свежие»/«Гнилые»
Есть несколько фильмов, получивших 100 % свежести с меньшим количеством отзывов [12] :

# TOMATOMETER
What is the Tomatometer?
The Tomatometer score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show. A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews. Learn more about our Tomatometer.
When does a Tomatometer score appear on the site?
A Tomatometer score is calculated for a film or TV show once it has received at least five reviews.
Why do some scores fluctuate or change?
The Tomatometer is a fluid measurement that can change over time as more reviews are added for a given film or TV show. Learn more about our Tomatometer.
What is the difference between the Tomatometer and Audience Score?
The Tomatometer score is calculated from reviews published by Tomatometer-approved critics. The Audience Score is calculated from ratings submitted to Rotten Tomatoes by users. Learn more about our Tomatometer and the Audience Score.
Why doesn’t Rotten Tomatoes have a mixed rating?
What is the Adjusted Tomatometer?
The Adjusted Tomatometer Score, which often appears in editorial lists, takes into account the number of reviews, the year of release, and the average Tomatometer scores of other films released contemporaneously. It is primarily used when comparing or ranking films across several decades. The adjusted score is not the official Tomatometer score – and is not used on a movie or TV page.
# REVIEWS
What is an embargo date?
A review embargo is set by the studio or TV network and prohibits outlets and organizations that have seen the film / TV show from posting reviews until that specified time. Sometimes studios and TV networks also set embargoes for social media reactions from critics and journalists.
Why don’t certain movies or TV shows have Tomatometer scores yet?
Movies and TV shows must have at least five reviews to generate a Tomatometer score.
Why do certain movies only have a few reviews?
There are a variety of reasons why a film or TV show may not have many reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The simplest explanation is there may not be many reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics available for that specific film or TV show in question. Other reasons include:
Why is one review with a 2.5 marked Fresh while another review marked 2.5 is marked Rotten? Likewise, why is one review with a 3/5 marked Fresh while another is marked Rotten? Shouldn’t they always be Fresh or always be Rotten?
Sometimes a reviewer will give a rating that is in the middle, so a decision has to be made: is it Fresh or is it Rotten? When those reviews have been added to RT by a self-submitting critic or publication, we defer to their judgement. When our review curation team comes across a mixed review, we have a process in place to determine whether it is mixed-positive or mixed-negative. When two reviews that have the same individual rating are alternately marked Fresh and Rotten, it means that for one of those reviews, the critic felt mixed-positive, and for the other, the critic felt mixed-negative. Learn more about our curation process.
Who writes these reviews? Will you post mine?
Tomatometer-approved critics come from all across the U.S., and the world. They publish on a variety of platforms – among them you’ll find podcasters, newspaper and magazine writers, bloggers, and YouTubers. Their reviews embody several key values – insight and dedication among them – and meet a set of Eligibility Guidelines. See our full list of Tomatometer-approved critics.
Where is the Average rating now on the site?
The average rating can be viewed by clicking on the «More Info» tab in the Tomatometer module on movie pages.
What is the Average Rating? How is it calculated?
The Average Rating is an average of the individual critic scores, based on a 1-10 scale. Each critic’s original rating scale (e.g. star, letter grade, numeric) is converted to a number between 1 and 10, andthen the numbers are averaged. Reviews without individual ratings are not counted in the Average Rating calculation, and a minimum of five reviews with individual ratings is required for an Average Rating to be calculated.The Average Rating measures the overall quality of a film or TV show based on an average of individual critic scores. The Tomatometer simply measures the percentage of positive reviews for a given film or TV show.
# CRITICS
Does Rotten Tomatoes employ critics?
No, Rotten Tomatoes does not employ critics.
What is a review aggregator?
A review aggregator is a website that collects reviews of products and services. Rotten Tomatoes collects film and TV reviews from critics who publish at outlets worldwide. These reviews are rated either Fresh or Rotten, which contributes to a film or TV show’s Tomatometer score. Learn more about the Tomatometer.
What is the difference between a Critic Review, an Audience Review, and a User Rating?
A Critic Review is a review of a film or TV show that has been published by a Tomatometer-approved critic or source. An Audience Review is a review of a film or TV show that has been submitted by a Rotten Tomatoes user. A User Rating is a star rating given by a Rotten Tomatoes user through a star-rating mechanism. For more information on audience reviews and User Ratings.
What is a Top Critic?

# AUDIENCE REVIEWS
What is the difference between the audience review and User Rating?
An audience review is a text review of a film or TV show that has been submitted by a Rotten Tomatoes user. A User Rating is a user’s star rating on a film or TV show, without a text review.
How do I leave a review?
If you are logged in, you can go to any movie or TV show’s page to rate and/or review it using the star-rating system and text box directly under the Tomatometer. You can see your ratings by clicking on Profile in the drop-down menu at the top right of the page.
What is the minimum length of an Audience Review?
We require reviews to be a minimum of 20 characters in length.
When do I get to submit my audience review?
After confirming your email address, you can write a review when logged in to the site through a Rotten Tomatoes native account, Flixster account, or Facebook log-in.
When you are logged in, you’ll be able to view a movie or TV show’s details page and rate and/or review the movie or show using the stars and text box directly under the Tomatometer. For movies, reviews can be left after the film’s theatrical release date.
Why is my review not showing up right away?
In an effort to encourage thoughtful discussion and debate, we require reviews to be a minimum of 20 characters in length to be published. Please also keep in mind that reviews may take some time to be published and are subject to our Code of Conduct. If you continue having trouble, contact customer service.
When will we see an Audience Score?
The Audience Score becomes available after the theatrical release date for a film. Only after that will users be able to leave an audience review or rating for that film.
Why can’t I leave a review before the movie is released?
Rotten Tomatoes users can only leave audience reviews and User Ratings following a movie’s U.S. release date, as listed on our site. Verified Reviews are available for movies in the U.S. that were released May 23, 2019 – the date we added this feature.
Why do some movies have Audience Scores and user reviews before their release date?
A number of films are shown in special preview screenings or early screening series prior to their official U.S. release date. We allow users to rate and review these movies from the time of their first large-scale screenings.
What is a Verified Review?
A Verified Review is a review written by a user who we can confirm bought a ticket to the movie they’re reviewing, which we believe is a strong indicator that they have seen the movie. “Verified” will be displayed next to a review to help users identify which reviews are “Verified.”
How does my review become verified?
When you submit a review on Rotten Tomatoes, you now have the option to select “Verify I bought my ticket” beneath the review text box and select the ticket provider from which you made your purchase. If the email address of your Rotten Tomatoes account matches the email address you used to buy your ticket, we will mark your review as “Verified”. Currently, we’re only working with Fandango to verify ticket purchases. Top exhibitors AMC Theatres, Regal and Cinemark Theatres plan to participate as ticket purchase authenticators later this year.
How do I know if my review has been verified?
If we’re able to verify your ticket purchase, you’ll see “Verified” next to your review once it’s posted to Rotten Tomatoes.
Why is my review not verified?
Currently, if you did not buy your ticket from Fandango, your review cannot be “Verified”. We are planning to work with other ticket providers to help verify Rotten Tomatoes reviews and will add new options for verification in the future. If you purchased a ticket from Fandango and are having issues with your review being verified, please contact customer service
Do all movies have Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are available for movies in the U.S. that were released May 23, 2019 – the date we added this feature.
What movies can have Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are possible for movies released in theaters in the United States from May 23, 2019 onward. Currently, movies released before that date and movies not released theatrically, as well as TVand streaming titles, won’t have Verified Ratings or Reviews. We are planning to add functionality that will allow us to verify reviews no matter how and where a user saw a movie, TV, or streaming title.
Can I see all user ratings and reviews, even if they weren’t verified?
If you’re interested in seeing an Audience Score that includes all included ratings, not just those that have been verified, you can click the “more info” link beneath the Audience Score and choose “All Audience”. When reading reviews, choose the “All Audience” tab and all reviews are displayed with the newest one showing first. Verified Reviews will be displayed with a “Verified” icon to show we’ve confirmed that the reviewer has purchased a ticket to that movie.
Is a Verified Review different from Super Reviewer?
Yes. “Verified” simply means that we can confirm that the user writing the review purchased a ticket to themovie being reviewed. Super Reviewers are users who’ve demonstrated consistent insight and whose reviews we feature prominently on movie pages.
Can reviews from outside of the United States be verified?
Currently, we are only able to verify reviews for movies from reviewers who purchased tickets in the United States. We are working on ways we may be able to offer this feature for other reviewers outside of the United States in the future.
Why aren’t there Verified Reviews on television pages and all movie pages?
Verified Reviews are available for movies that were released in the United States May 23, 2019 – the date we added this feature. We’re planning to add other ticket and content providers in the future to help us verify reviews for more movies and TV/streaming.
Will you be adding more ways to verify reviews?
We are actively working on adding more ticket providers to help us confirm ticket purchases, as well as functionality that will allow us to verify reviews no matter how and where the user saw a movie.
Can I verify my reviews for Netflix and other streaming services?
Not currently, but we are always looking to improve the usefulness of our Audience rating system for fans and are working on ways we may be able to do this in future.
I purchased a physical ticket to a movie; how do I verify my review?
Currently, we cannot verify physical ticket purchases. However, we’re currently considering ways we could do so in the future.
Someone purchased a ticket for me, how do I verify my review?
At this time, we can only verify one review and rating per transaction. So, if someone buys more than one ticket – say for a bunch for friends – each person can leave a review, but only the person with the email address used for the purchase will have their review verified.
Which companies are included in verifying tickets? Will there be more added in the future?
Currently, users can verify their reviews through Fandango. We are currently working to bring on additional ticket providers to help us verify reviews and ratings.
If my review is verified why isn’t it included in the Tomatometer?
The Tomatometer is generated by the reviews of Tomatometer-approved professional critics who meet a set of criteria. These are professional, working movie and TV critics. Verified Reviews and ratings are made up of users who we can confirm purchased a ticket to the movie they’re reviewing.
I have a Rotten Tomatoes account, why is my review not verified?
Reviews and ratings are verified when we can confirm the user bought a ticket to the movie.
I am logged in through Facebook, why is my review not verified?
At this time, we cannot verify users signed up to Rotten Tomatoes accounts through Facebook. We’re working to add more ways of verifying your rating, regardless of how you signed up.
I did buy a ticket on Fandango, but my review is not verified: why?
The review might not be verified for a number of reasons. First, if the email address for your Rotten Tomatoes account does not match your Fandango account email, we will not be able to confirm your ticket purchase and verify your review. Second, if you are logged in to Rotten Tomatoes through Facebook, we cannot verify your review at this time. Third, verifiable reviews may not be possible for the title you are reviewing (e.g. if it is an older movie, a streaming or TV title). If you continue having trouble, contact customer service.
My ticket purchase was confirmed, but my Verified Review is not showing up on the site. Why can’t I see my review?
In an effort to encourage thoughtful discussion and debate, we require reviews to be a minimum of 20 characters in length to be published. Please also keep in mind that reviews may take some time to be published and are subject to our Code of Conduct. If you continue having trouble, customer service.
# CERTIFIED FRESH
What is the difference between a wide-release Certified Fresh and Limited Release Certified Fresh?
Because films in limited release open in far fewer theaters than films in wide release, the threshold to achieve Certified Fresh status is lower. For more information on what qualifies a film for Certified Fresh status, click here.
Why aren’t all movies marked Certified Fresh with 80 reviews at 80%?
The prerequisites for Certified Fresh status are only the bare minimum that a film must achieve to qualify for the distinction. A film does not automatically become Certified Fresh when it meets those prerequisites. Before we mark a film Certified Fresh, we must feel confident that the Tomatometer score has settled and isn’t likely to deviate too much.
Why does it take longer for some movies to go Certified Fresh?
If the film in question is a wide release, you may find your answer above. If the film in question is a limited release, it may be because its Tomatometer score is right on the cusp of the bare minimum 75%, and the addition of more reviews could change the score in either direction. Another instance is a film is scheduled to expand from a limited to a wide release, in which case we would apply the Certified Fresh prerequisites for wide-release films to it and wait for the expansion to assess whether it qualifies.
How does a movie or TV show qualify for Certified Fresh status?
For information on Certified Fresh status, click here.
# CURATION
What is the curation process?
How are reviews submitted?
Reviews are added in two ways: either through curation or by self-submitting Tomatometer-approved critics, who add their reviews themselves. Only reviews from approved critics and sources are included on the Tomatometer.
What is the difference between a self-submitted review and a curated review?
The majority of Tomatometer-approved reviews are collected by our curation team, who also mark areview Fresh or Rotten and select a representative pull-quote. Self-submitters are critics who add their own reviews, determine Fresh/Rotten status themselves, and select corresponding pull-quotes.
Individually approved critics can choose to be self-submitters or have our curation team collect reviews on their behalf, while approved publications have the option to nominate one critic/editor to submit reviews for their entire roster.
Do you ever reach out to a reviewer to get clarification on a review?
Yes. If the curation team is unable to reach a consensus on a review, we reach out to the reviewer and ask them to make the call.
How do you determine whether a review with no star rating is Fresh or Rotten?
When a review does not have a star rating or letter grade, the RT curator adding the review will assess whether it is Fresh or Rotten. If the curator is unable to do so, they will consult the curation team for independent analysis and attempt to come to a consensus. If the team is unable to reach a consensus onthe review, they will reach out directly to the critic for the final word.
How do I submit a movie title to Rotten Tomatoes?
Before submitting a movie title to us, please do the following:
If the title is not available on IMDB.com, then we will not add it to the site.
Your movie/actor information is wrong!
Thanks for catching that. We work hard to make sure all of our movie and actor information is correct, but sometimes this is not the case, due to studio changes, data import errors, etc. We also list wide release dates, which may look wrong to users who live in areas with previews and limited release showings.
If you do find inaccurate data, please tell us here, and we will check the data against our sources and contact the publicist or distributor if necessary.
