I'm not saying you're wrong because RT says so. Bat, you're the one who said it was unmemorable in a manner similar to stating no one would remember it. Also, I'm saying that because there could be a chance he'll like it. Usually, people hate bad movies, right? This won't be the case everytime, but it is not true that the beeter a movie is, the better chance someone watching it for the first time will find something to like about it, even if he doesn't give it a great rating? Example. I like a couple slngs on the "greatest punk album ever," Ramones. I honestly think it's about two whole stars overrated. Still, I found something to like about it. I usually thrive on subjectivity, and it's subjectivitythat makes things get good or bad ratings.

So if you're really saying I let other websites or people decide my opinion, you couldn't be more wrong. I form an opinion, then see if other websites agree.

You use sources to prove an objective claim you are making, not a subjective opinion.

It's objective that it is subjectively agreed upon, so as a human being and a member of the same race that votes upon these thngs, there's a chance he'll find something to remember abot it. You really don't get to decide what the definite context was. And if you're thinking I did that with your post, keep in mind I said that's how I felt you came across, not that what I thoght you were saying was definitely what I thought.

I'm saying you use them to say, "Hey, all these people agree with me, so you're wrong and I'm right."

But that's how you took it, bevause that's usually how people bringing up websites like that argue. Did you forget about how different reasons can affect things?

Not if you stick to your guns and form your own opinion. Other people's opinions don't change my opinion.

I'm not saying the will, but do you understand what makes the movie great? I already stated why I thought the movie was great: beautiful music, all-star cast, amazing scenery. So for a secondary argument, I brought up RT in case people were thinking "I might be able to find something I like about it. Might." In all fairness, I don't care if your opinion is the same as Bat's. My sole intent on using RT was merely to say, "Hey, you can decide if you like it." I mean, to be fair, many people have decided to try out The Godfather because it's one of the greatest movies ever made, just like there are people who avoid Highlander 2 because people here it's so horrible. Besides, if I did agree with the 79% score, how come I feel it's seriously underrated? I think it should be at least 90%.

I don't know why people have such a hate on for RT and IMDB, so what if people use a rating scale to help them decide what films to watch, or to see how acclaimed a film is? RT has helped me discover a ton of fantastic movies, and while I don't always agree with ratings, typically a movie with a horrible rating ends up being horrible.

Typically. Except for Good Burger, White Chicks and Kung Pow, which are hilarious.

You missed my point. I was saying that if you believe the movie was great, the opinions on RT are irrelevant, and to use them to back up your opinion is also irrelevant.
