1. This video is poorly written with a shitty focus.
2. Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Warner Bros. which presents a big fucking flaw. (Holy shit, Kick! Think they MIGHT inflate their own percentages??)
3. The narrator sounds like he buttons the top button of every Polo shirt he wears and drives a fucking Subaru.

Warner Bros. Entertainment/Time Warner owns 30% of R.T., so your above statement is 30 percent true. You could say there is a flaw there, but saying Warner Bros entirely owns R.T. is not an accurate statement.

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't rate films, it aggregates ratings, so it can't inflate their percentages unless it purposefully misinterprets the way their films are rated.

Anyone can develop a site based on aggregate data.....and insert a script to display a higher percentage. :0008

While you're correct, it is easily slanted. Rotten Tomatoes has had suspiciously high scores of movies for the first week to 3 weeks they are out, most notably Zack Snyder films and the DC Comics releases.
