Actually, I am shocked and disappointed it is PG-13! I can't even tell you how much that punctures my interest in seeing it.

Whoa! GET OUT is at 99%!

Something's wrong with the aggregator if so many movies are getting 90%+. Seriously. I question their statistics.

They posted a "best superhero movies" list a while back, and it boggled my mind. Logan was #1 with a score of, like, 92% and Dark Knight was #2 with a score of 94%. And they were ranking purely by score. I didn't get it, then I realized they were using an "adjusted score" to determine the rank, which, I imagine, creates sort of a z-score for the films, and balances out variables like the amount of time a movie has been out, and adjusts movies with fewer reviews to make them comparable side-by-side to movies with more reviews. Which is REALLT stupid for an "all-time" list, and will almost always guarantee that the most popular movie at the time is at the top.

So Logan had an "adjusted score" of 94.54 or something and Dark Knight had an adjusted score of 94.48 or something, and so the movie with a decade of precedent-setting history, voted the best movie of the millennium by twitter users, that is STILL turning up in reviews of every comic-based movie you read because of how influential it was came in second behind the only Wolverine movie that didn't totally suck nards -- a movie that's 6 months old and is still in its sizzle phase, but didn't win any Oscars and didn't change shit.

Stupid fucking site.

Oh, and they re-published the list after Wonder Woman came out, and guess what? It was #2. Same deal as before. Dark Knight had the highest score of any film in the "genre" and it's in third place. Wonder Woman was good too! But ... come the fuck on RT.

Also, the Room has like 36%, which seems awfully high for the "worst movie ever made." Really. Something's up with that fucking site.

DARK KNIGHT! CHRIS NOLAN! FUCK YOU, BUTTHOLES!
