Rotten Tomatoes Says Only Ticket Purchasers Can Give Verified Ratings

Unable to play video. HTML5 is not supported! When Rotten Tomatoes debuted back in 1998, it was meant to serve as a way to compile reviews of movies and TV shows from all across the internet so that audiences could quickly see a breakdown of what critics were saying about a film or series. In recent years, the review aggregator has been seen as an objective qualifier of a movie, as the percentage of positive ratings is used by some as a way to dismiss or praise a movie's accomplishments.
