11 2023 Movies That Didn’t Deserve Their "Rotten" Scores On Rotten Tomatoes

As 2023 nears its end, some of the year’s poorly reviewed movies on Rotten Tomatoes call for a second look. Rotten Tomatoes, a prominent review aggregator site, compiles critics’ reviews to generate an overall rating for films. It works by collecting reviews from approved critics and assigning a “fresh” or “rotten” label based on whether 60% of all the reviews are positive. A “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes signifies that a film received predominantly negative reception from critics. While this system provides a general sense of critical consensus, it falls short in truly evaluating a film’s quality, affecting numerous significant films from 2023, as well as before.
