'Melania' promises to take us behind the scenes. There's nothing to see
- delaminator 8mo agoThe audience says: 99% Popcornmeter - 500+ Verified Ratings The critics say: 10% Tomatometer - 20 Reviews be careful who you listen to
- Bowes-Lyon 8mo agoThe audience actually says: 28% Popcornmeter - 5000+ All Audience Indeed, be really careful
- delaminator 8mo agoweird, because this page says 10% / 99% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/melania https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/melania which one are you reading ?
- Bowes-Lyon 8mo agoI’m reading the same page as you are. Click on the 99% and a popup opens where you can select between All Audience and „Verified“ Audience.
- delaminator 8mo agoI would have though verified audience was the more reliable indicator.
- Bowes-Lyon 8mo agoErmmmm… How exactly is Rotten Tomatoes gonna verify audiences in e.g. France or Germany or Australia??? The so called „verification“ counts only US users who purchased tickets through the US Fandango app and nobody else, no?
- delaminator 8mo agoI don't think Melania the documentary is going to be that popular in France, Germany or Australia, do you?
- muwtyhg 8mo agoGoalposts successfully moved. Good work. You can't claim it's 99% audience approved, then say "[only the American] audience [who purchased tickets via Fandango]". If you include the full audience, it has a 28% approval with 5000+ ratings, like the replier indicated.
- delaminator 8mo agoI'm not making any claims, I am reporting what Rotten Tomatoes says
- muwtyhg 8mo agoYour claim is "I would have though[t] verified audience was the more reliable indicator." That claim is incorrect because it takes in to account only one very small segment of the people who saw the movie (only US, Fandango-based, in-theater viewings are counted). That is not indicative of the wider audience feedback. You also point out the discrepancy between professional reviewers and audience score ("The audience says: 99% Popcornmeter - 500+ Verified Ratings -The critics say: 10% Tomatometer - 20 Reviews - be careful who you listen to") as a reason for Rotten Tomatoes being untrustworthy, but the Tomatometer and the Popcorn Meter (all audience, not just verified) are close together (10% vs 28%). Just curious, do you believe this movie to be good? Have you seen it? Or is this just a kneejerk reaction to defend an awful movie where more than 50% of the budget went directly the person the documentary is about?
- delaminator 8mo agoI haven't seen it, nor have any desire to. but as much as you despise the people who do because you think you are superior in some way > Melania film earns $7m in US, strongest documentary debut in over a decade

- ZeroGravitas 8mo agoDirected by Brett Ratner who was accused of sexual misconduct by at least 6 coworkers. Brett has the dubious claim to fame that two of his friends have killed themselves in jail while awaiting sentencing for child rape and child sex trafficking. Apparently famous film director and child rapist Roman Polanski is his mentor and hero. After Polanski fled the US to avoid arrest for the anal rape of a child, Brett had him do a cameo in one of his comedy films in which he painfully cavity searches the heroes. What a strange and disappointing world we live in.
