Wondering which new movie to watch this weekend? Want to know which movie did great at the box office and which received rotten tomatoes? Visit RottenTomatoes.com. This site not only tells you about movies but it also has lot of game reviews and previews.

Each movie listed at Rotten Tomatoes has a snippet, a review, trailer(s), clip(s), and a forum and news section of its own. You can also find out how big of an opening a particular movie received in terms of US$ or how much money did it make at the box office.

You can even buy movie tickets and posters, DVDs, games, and more from the Rotten Tomatoes online shop.

Rotten Tomatoes Recommendation Tools

  • Certified Fresh - When a film has 40 reviews, 5 of which are from Cream of the Crop critics, and has a Tomatometer of 75% or higher, it is Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes. It stays “Certified Fresh” unless the film falls below 60%.
  • TomatoPicker - Browse through our database of over 100,000 movie titles. Filter your results by Tomatometer, genre, subgenre, mpaa rating, decade, year, and/or keywords.
  • Top Movies - Here, we offer the best reviewed movies of Rotten Tomatoes and the winners from various Awards categories, such as the Oscars and Golden Globes.

Why the site is called ‘Rotten Tomatoes’?
”Back in the days of the open theaters, when a play was particularly atrocious, the audience expressed their dissatisfaction by not only booing and hissing at the stage, but throwing whatever was at hand — vegetables and fruits included. Hence the name Rotten Tomatoes.”
