Haha Left Behind is so horrendous, manipulative and to this day brings back memories as a child thinking I was alone because I didn’t Jesus enough.

Just realized they remade that movie. Why?

I honestly stopped paying attention to Rotten Tomatoes when they rated Chapelle in the teens but audience gave it like 90%

Left Behind was the Christian rapture one with Nic Cage in if I remember right. But that's the only one I recognised. If it wasn't for him, I'd have never heard it either.

From what I know, he's also not very 'Cagey' in it either, so it's not even funny bad. Just 'I had bills to pay' bad.

Theyre just a review aggregator that compares the number of favorable reviews against unfavorable reviews. If everyone gives a movie 3/5 stars then it gets 100%.

Personally I'm not going to discuss the Chapelle rating specifically, but there are likely some broader reasons it got the ratings it did.

RT doesn’t rate anything themselves. They just average out critic ratings and audience ratings. What you referred to as RT rating Chapelle in the teens was the average critic score. Lots of stuff has a huge disparity between critical reception and audience reception. Being mad at RT for doing what they are designed to do and displaying both is ridiculous.

Some of these movies even have mildly positive reviews. It just seems like the single person to contribute to the audience score didn't bother actually rating it.

Also a lot of these movies are just...old. Nobody's really going out of their way to just rate old, random movies.

There were already two “Left Behind” movies that were made in late 90s early 2000s.

Starring Kirk Cameron (of course) and Clarence Gilyard (Trevette from Walker Texas Ranger).

They were tv movie level mediocre.

The Nic Cage one was supposed to be the big Hollywood version…

It didn’t work out.

Only going off second hand knowledge here (watched a youtuber review it once), but I wouldn't bother unless you're one to find Christian movies really funny.

It's your absolutely standard rapture movie, except there's a B plot with people getting raptured on a plane. Cage spends most of the movie in the cockpit not doing any of the things that makes Cage enjoyable to watch. He's clearly there just for a paycheck.

I saw the first movie on the list, 400 Days. I personally didn’t think it was that bad. Definitely some plot holes and points where the movie took itself too seriously. But it was watchable.

The number 6 movie, Dance with Death, has an amazing poster. And Mummy Maniac is a great name and I would probably watch based on the name alone.

And don't forget, he doesnt go to heaven because he thought about cheating on his crazy wife. His daughter is atheist. A person on the plane was going to buy stocks with insider information. A reporter (aka the level headed hero guy) was a reporter, which was enough to prevent him from getting to heaven.. I forget the other ones, but they were all barely a sin.

I admit, I'm intrigued by Mummy Maniac. My hope is that the serial killer's process for "turning girls into mummies" consists entirely of wrapping them in toilet paper and then leaving them alive and unharmed but deeply confused.

Welcome to Cinephobe: The Podcast where Zach Harper, Amin Elhassan and Anthony Mayes review movies that are poorly rated on Rotten Tomatoes, and try to ascertain whether or not those movies are accurately poorly rated, or maybe just didn't get a fair shake.

I'm not saying it's the case here, but on RottonTomatoes there are different ratings from audience than from critics. A movie with a "30% Tomatometer rating" could still have a 0% audience rating.

>The Tomatometer score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show

Cage said he starred in the movie because one of his brothers is a pastor but really I think it's because he just had to be on a cockpit set for like 5 days and get paid $1 million, which I would also happily do.

Im having a hard time believing once upon a time in China 6 got 0%. Even if the story sucks it's Jet LI and Sammo Hung directing. At least the fight choreography should be decent. It has 6.1 on IMDB.

Replying to ColdPressedSteak (#803,244)

Well yeah, that's kind of the point isn't it? Bad movies that turn into cult movies, like Xtro, get some people praising it so naturally the RT audience score gets a boost. By contrast, Xtro II the Second Encounter is just awful and has no redeeming factors, so it never becomes a cult favorite, so it ends up here.

Back in the day RT was a decent predictor for the quality of a movie. My guess is that monetization and social media ruined it.

If you also like terrible Christmas movies, our favorite is called All I Want is Christmas (also known as Switchmas)

It's about a Jewish kid Ira Finkelstein who really, really wants to be able to celebrate Christmas. It has everything a terrible Christmas movies needs: super low budget with a C-lister cameo, a big city person stuck in small town, a weird and even lower budget animated musical scene, plot holes so big you can drive a semi through, and Jewish stereotypes not seen in cinema since Triumph of the Will.

We were pretty stoned when we first watched it and laughed a lot, it's now been added to the annual holiday watch list.

Xtro could get remade nowadays and be pretty cool. It needed a decent budget and a decent director but it had a lot of potential deep down. It’s just one of those movies of it’s time like CHUD and Humanoids from the Deep that could benefit from the cheap and ubiquitous VFX of today

It's got 4 critic reviews - 2 positive and 2 negative. It apparently has 5000+ user ratings, but only 1 review, in which the reviewer praises it.

So I'm inclined to think the 0% audience score is a glitch, or the result of a bot mass-voting campaign or something.

That was a campy and pretty bad book, though it did have the occasional good line. But I was amazed that they could actually make a high budget movie that was worse in every single way than the book.

For Left Behind, the critic score is 0% and the audience score is 17%. So it probably depends. But either way, the listicle seems misleading.

It's not really that broad. The reviewers are strongly Left leaning and their vote reflects that.

I took about four or five courses (been a decade now) of film review in college - majored in journalism. I was smitten (yes I said smitten!) with everything that went into a review and how complex of a job it ‘was.’ Nowadays it disgusts me because critics don’t appreciate the art and disregard the camera work, settings, etc. if the message goes against their beliefs.

In college my English teacher made us read the book and then watch the movie. I fell asleep in class. It's indeed terrible and boring and not worth anyone's time. The book is also poorly written and I only kept it in case I ever need a book to burn. The movie deserves all of its 0%. If a movie could go into a negative percentage, this would be one of them.
