The user reviews are where it’s at on rotten tomatoes. The critic reviews have been kinda suspect for a while.

the critic reviews have always been complete dogshit. too many movies get 100% or 0% on rotten tomatoes.

if i'm not mistaken IMDB ratings are only user based, and in my opinion, i almost never disagree with IMDB ratings and i think it's because it has a vastly larger voting group to get a more accurate viewer consensus even if a small number of critics give a 0/10 or 10/10
