YSK that Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores mean different things
Why YSK: Many people believe that Rotten Tomatoes works like Metacritic, but they work very differently and it's worth it to know how:
Metacritic: Calculates a weighted average of film reviews. A score of 80 means the average review score is 80%.
Rotten Tomatoes: Shows the percentage of positive reviews. A score of 80% means that 80% of reviews are positive, not that the movie is an 80/100 in quality.
Understanding this difference can help you make better choices about what movies are worth your time.
