Is IMDb or Metacritic better?
It’s clearer that the IMDb’s distribution is extremely skewed toward the higher part of the average ratings, while the Metacritic’s METASCORE ratings have nearly balanced distribution. I recommend checking the Metacritic’s METASCORE whenever you are looking for an accurate movie rating. It has a rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 119 reviews, with an average rating of 8. A concise, entertaining documentary about the spectacular failure of Enron. On Metacritic, the film has a rating of 82%, based on 37 reviews.
Is metacritic better than rotten tomatoes?
The main difference between Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes is that Rotten Tomatoes measure the percentage of POSITIVE reviews and Metacritic measure the average of all reviews. Rotten Tomatoes count every score above 60% as positive. Besides IMDb, Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are the top two websites to which people turn to see aggregate scores of movies’ ratings but, whereas IMDb’s scores are based on users’ ratings, Metacritic’s and Rotten Tomatoes’ main scores are based on reviewers’ ratings.Metacritic takes reviews from critics, gives them a 0-100 score, and then averages those scores. Metacritic has a higher threshold for the renown of the critic whose reviews are considered for the site, so while the Rotten Tomatoes’ score for Aquaman includes the reviews of 312 critics, Metacritic only uses 49.
