So Rotten Tomatoes doesn't rate movies now?
Unless I'm doing something wrong. it appears they no longer rate movies. What's the point of using their site?

(18,000 posts)They are an aggregator and sometimes a positive rating can reflect a mediocre reaction to the film. A high score could reflect a bunch of mediocre positive ratings while a movie that engenders a strong reaction - sometimes positive and sometimes negative - might have a lower rating but be worth more of your time to watch. You might hate a movie, then think about for a while and come to a different conclusion. Even watching a movie you hate might change your perspective on a particular topic.

Anything could happen.
