ROTTEN TOMATOES

Rotten Tomatoes is recognized as one of the prominent movie review websites which is actively involved providing the movie buffs and web browsers with movie reviews, information, video games and movie news. The website is known to derive its name from the vaudeville-era cliché of tomato throwing at stage performers for bad performance. The staff of Rotten Tomatoes is known to search the Internet for movie related information from as many websites as possible. These websites contain information about the various movies and the browsers can also enjoy playing games.

The movies are marked as fresh movies by small icons denoting red tomato or they are marked negative by a small icon of a green tomato. This website is known to keep proper track of all the reviews that are counted and can at the most go up to 250 for all the recently released films. The review percentages of the positive films are known to be tabulated.

In case of positive reviews if the reviews go up to 60% or above then the film is known to be fresh and in that case a mammoth majority of the reviewers tend to approve the film. In case the movie reviews is less than 60% then it is known to be rotten and not fresh. The key movie reviewers like those of Roger Ebert, Desson Thomson/Stephen Hunter and Lisa Schwarzbaum are known to be listed in a certain sub listing known as ‘Cream of the Crop’. This list is actually known to keep a tabulated track of the movie reviews and the movie ratings given by these expert reviewers. A consensus statement is known to be posted as there are reviews which are sufficient to form a conclusion and these reviews are meant to formulate general causes behind the opinions about the movie. The reviewers tend to compare the movie reviews of the old movies with the new movies. The reviewers of the website Rotten Tomatoes not only tend to comment about the movies but also comment on the opinions of the other individual critics.

The ratings of the Rotten Tomatoes are marked with an icon as the film is listed and this gives the reader an easy glance about the critical acclaim on general lines. The films with average to excellent reviews can be marked under 75% and those movies with 55% to 60% are marked as apparently rotten to fairly supportive film. There are few movies which are marked as good but not excellent and this happens mostly due to the absence of enough reviews to mark the movie as fresh or rotten. Godfather until March 2007 is considered among the best reviewed films and is known to have an average rating going up to 9.1 or 10. This movie is known to have received approximately 53 reviews which made it a 100% fresh movie. This site is known to have recently launched a list of 100 Worst Reviewed Films of All Time. The website IGN Entertainment in 2004 is known to have acquired Rottentomatoes.com and this site went on to become Internet site which is most heavily trafficked and has an Internet ranking from Alexa of 911 views per day.
