The Sad List of Movies With a Perfect 0% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes doesn't always provide a perfect look at the world of film criticism, but it does paint a pretty consistent picture of what films are widely loved or widely hated. Any film that reaches 60% positive reviews or higher once they've all been tallied is considered "fresh" and anything under that is "rotten." It's very rare for a movie to reach 100% positive reviews (there's always going to be one hater), but it's just as uncommon for a movie to reach 0% (there's always going to be one stubborn defender).
Luckily, we live in a world were someone goes out of their way to track down and put each of these all-time stinkers on a list for easy referencing.
A brave soul over at the Herald-Review scoured the depths of Rotten Tomatoes and came back with a list of 97 films that have the distinct dishonor of not having a single positive review. As you'd imagine, most of the films on the list have completely vanished from the public consciousness. After all, memorably bad movies will actually have defenders.
Scrolling through the list is like taking a trip down bad memory lane. Does anyone remember (or want to remember) 'Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever'? Have you been unfortunate to suffer through 'Fred: The Movie'? No one has seen 'Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2' and not wanted to forget about it.
There are a handful of legendary bombs on the list like 'Jaws: The Revenge' and 'Mac and Me,' but most of the 97 films will wash over you. You don't remember these movies because nobody remembers these movies. Most of these aren't just bad movies -- they're bad movies that don't even have the decency to something memorable.
You can check out the full list below and the original article here. Is there any movie on here you'd actually like to defend? Let us know below.
