I feel like RT is most reliable for movies that came out when the site existed.
Did the site exist when Last Action Hero, Hook, and Space Jam came out? I don't think so. When it comes to ratings in that situation it's ppl rating off nostaligia and a bunch of millennials that don't know any better. Either that or the ppl that know these movies are great or classics (can't believe the score for Home Alone) aren't on the site giving it the deserved rating.
So yeah, any 80s and 90s movies I hold in high regard won't change cuz RT wasn't around to rate it appropriately at the time and now they just getting stupid with it.
@ taking up for The Butterfly Effect though. That movie was straight trash. Talking about this was the movie that showed us Kutcher could play a serious role
That movie and the performances was worse than Jim Carrey's 23.
