Is this a retorical question? If not then, I can make decisions for myself and the decision I made for myself is I don't want to watch every single movie I find remotely interesting, there's way too many movies to do that. Only watching the ones I find remotely interesting that are high rated narrows down my options. People say I shouldn't listen to reviews but those same people (particularly my friends) have recommended movies to me, listening to an audience score is the same as listening to a friend's recommendation to me because it's not like my friend necessarily has the same interests when it comes to movies as I do but a thousand+ people has more of a chance of having similar interests

I just want to mention that I stopped using rotten tomatoes because IMDB and letterbox allow me to get a better understanding if a movie is "good" or not

What do you mean "end" like take down the site completely or encourage others to stop using it and use a different method to determine if they should watch a movie instead?

I use IMDB, if I was in your position (meaning I agreed with you and didn't think people should use rotten tomatoes) would you say I should encourage people to use IMDB instead?

We can't really "end" rotten tomatoes, only encourage people to use it less but even if we do that people are still going to use it if they think it's helpful

Star Wars(franchise) so I can experience the Darth Vader reveal for the first time without spoilers. When I watched star wars I went in knowing a lot about it already and even if I didn't I was a kid when I watched it so I don't even remember my reaction to the reveal in ESB. Which is why it would be nice experiencing the reveal with no spoilers and no information known about the franchise

Yes but not everyone likes action so not everyone is going to consider an action/sci-fi movie to be the greatest movie of all time, only action/sci-fi enjoyers will. Apparently Titanic is considered one of the best romances of all time but I won't personally enjoy it because I don't typically like romances
