Your Movie Critic Soulmate
 

This is fun, really. Follow the link, give your star rating for the listed films, and then at the end you will find out which movie critics share your opinions. I ranked high with Rotten Tomatoes (68%) and Roger Ebert (67%).

80% rotten tomatoes. Booyah.

* Rotten Tomatoes : 78%
* Peter Travers : 77%
* James Berardinelli : 74%
* Roger Ebert : 69%

Go figure. It was also kind of neat to see so many ratings in one place. Good stuff.

Rotten Tomatoes : 83% based on 15 movies

i guess RT would come up b/c it looks like most of the reviews are 3 stars ... less deviation

should they expand to more than 4 critics?

interesting. 78% on RT too. the rest i didn't really care.
but this is really mixed, i fucking hated some of the movies they gave 3 or 3.5 so it's much lower. without a few musical, it would be in the high 80.

I took the test, but what you may need to know is I have only seen about 8% of the movies listed.

Here are the(skewed) results:
Rotten Tomatoes : 78%
James Berardinelli : 72%
Peter Travers : 71%
Roger Ebert : 66%

I think to watch the rest of the movies unseen later.

Roger Ebert : 93%
Peter Travers : 90%
Rotten Tomatoes : 86%
James Berardinelli : 85%

Funny, because Roger Ebert and James Berardinelli are my two favorite movie reviewers (particularly Ebert). I've read thousands (literally) of Ebert's reviews and find myself agreeing with about 95% of them. There's no perfect movie critic but Ebert is the closest I've seen to my tastes.

62% rt.
i dont like many hollywood films and avoid most of them.
there were only 2 on the list that i really liked--napoleon dynamite and eternal sunshine. i was not a big fan of hotel rwanda, but i dont really know how else the film could have been done. i liked "lost in translation" but for some reason there's a side of me that wants not to like it, despite the mbv soundtrack, the cool colors and the acting. most of the other ones i either didnt see or hated. go figure.

I really feel like that test, though intriguing conceptually, has far too few movies, far too few critics and far too movies that received mixed critical reactions. For the vast majority of movies on that list, it was pretty easy to guess where critics would put it. Furthermore, Rotten Tomatoes is already a compilation of critical reviews, which makes it sort of meaningless barometer for which critic you are most like. It essentially tells you if you agree with the average nationwide assessment of critics, which is-to me-less interesting than knowing that I agree with a specific critic. In other words, a neat idea and an interesting thought. Any of you out there have more time than me to put some more polish on it? ;)
