While I generally agree with the sentiment of this article, Rotten Tomatoes and its ilk have problems of their own.  Virtually every small-budget independent film on the site winds up with a very high rating, likely thanks to the big-budget hating, pretentious film critics whose reviews it compiles and summarizes.  Likely for the same reason, some larger budget films that receive high RT scores from audiences receive low RT scores from professional critics.<p>In short, it&#x27;s impossible to trust RT&#x27;s ratings of independent films, as they just can&#x27;t all be that good, or its ratings of big budget films, as they can&#x27;t all be that bad.  If a movie looks good to you, go see it - whether or not RT tells you to.
