Reply to comment by ruidh in [OC] MCU vs. DCU in Rotten Tomatoes by theotheredmund

I thought Black Panther was a cool movie, but 9,6/10 is an insanely high score. It's pretty damn close to perfect.

It really depends on what people perceive a 9.0 to be. Personally, Id rank very few movies as a 9 or more, as they'd need to be visually pleasing and fantastically written. Others might say a 9.0 is a good movie with no obvious flaws, so a 9.6 could absolutely be justified.

96% on RT just means 96% of critics gave the movie a positive review, not that it scored a 9.6/10.

If 96% of critics give it a 6/10 it still gets a 96% RT score.

If a movie has a 100% of critics score it 5/10 the movie gets a 0% for having all negative reviews.

Be that as it may, Black Panther sports an 88 on Metacritic, which does weight by review score. This makes it far and away the highest rated Marvel movie of all time.

For my part I wouldn't put it there. I thought it was a good movie, but the interesting themes of the movie were muddled by some odd blind spots. I'd easily put Logan, GotG, and Thor Ragnarok above it.

100% is not perfect. The way RT work, 100% might mean that 2,000 out of 2,000 film critics gave the movie a 6 out of 10 (therefore a positive review).

RT is bad to assess how good or bad a movie is; but good to assess how much of a consensus there is on if a movie is generally good or bad.

What films would you say deserve a score of 9.6 or higher?

None. Schindlers Liste would probably beat out my list at 9.2 or something, though I doubt Id still think so if I watched it more than once.
