Director Brett Ratner says the film review site Rotten Tomatoes is damaging Hollywood.
"The worst thing that we have in today's movie culture is Rotten Tomatoes," he told an audience at the Sun Valley Film Festival.
"I think it's the destruction of our business."
Brett Ratner directed the Rush Hour franchise, and his company RatPac Entertainment co-financed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
He suggested that the way the site aggregates reviews is unfair.
"The Rotten Tomatoes score was so low on Batman v Superman, I think it put a cloud over a movie that was incredibly successful," said the 47-year-old.
Batman v Superman performed well at the box office, making $868m (£695m) worldwide.

Good. I hope Hollywood is damaged. In fact, I hope it goes away entirely.

So not casting couches and exploitation of minorities?

I mean, I agree, but it's Brett Ratner saying it

If they have basic as fuck tastes then it's perfect for them as they'll generally agree

Which is why it's so fucked up. Maybe his films are on a higher plane of existence, but (We) have been ignoring them... why?
Because a tomato and an almond told us to?

He might be a bad director but he's not wrong here
>>80921239
>I think it put a cloud over a movie that was incredibly successful,"
So basically, in Ratner's mind, a movie's financial success and nothing else determines its quality? Pardon me while I guffaw.

Or he's just a hack who only hates RT because critics shit on his movies
