    This is actually why I like rotten tomatoes, breaks apart the critics and the fans.

    I recall going to a movie with friends, walking out and saying “that was terrible” and my friend saying “what, that was good”. Debate ensued in the group.

      Honestly nothing gets me more interested in a movie than when the reviews are greatly divisive—it’s usually a sign that the director/writer is doing something bold or at least interesting. I know that for the most part that if I go see a movie like that even if I don’t love it I’ll at least be glad I watched it.
