It could be interesting to determine if this happens more often to movies with certain themes, or maybe even to certain directors. For example, Batman v Superman received a notoriously low Tomatometer score of 27%, which is almost 40 points than its audience score. Another objective of this project is to find out what factors into a movie getting vastly different scores from different sources. This can give viewers a better understanding of where a score stands comparing to other movies in the same time or same genre, which is more informative than just looking at the sheer value of a score. The former can give us a temporal view of the movie qualities according to critics and viewers, while the latter will shed some light on whether or not particular genres tend to be favored by critics and/or viewers.
One focus in this project would be to visualize the distributions of scores and see how they vary across the years and across different genres. This project aims to obtain insights regarding the interpretation and comparison among these different scoring systems through data analysis and visualization. Therefore it can be confusing to some viewers as to which one to trust, or how to interpret the potentially large differences in scores. For a single movie, one can get four different scores just within these two websites. IMDb uses Metascore to represent critics opinions while Rotten Tomatoes uses Tomatometer to achieve the same goal. Both of these websites provide two sets of ratings: critics scores and audience scores. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are arguably two of the most popular websites where people can find reviews and ratings for nearly any movie. While it is fun to just go to a movie theatre and hope to be pleasantly surprised by a new release, many people prefer to go to movie review sites for recommendations.
