Indeed. The RT scoring favors inoffensive, wide appeal over interesting but not-for-everyone movies.
People act like it’s some kind of dunk when a movie/show they like gets high rating, despite the often useless nature of critics and/or audiences at large to reflect individual taste.
I don’t believe I’ve ever let an RT score sway my decision to watch something. I sometimes forget RT exists until someone else brings it up.
If RT had any sway on me I wouldn’t have watched and loved Arena (1989), American Ninja (1975), Screamers (1995), Chopping Mall (1986), or Dead Heat (1988) just to name a few excellent viewing experiences.
