About
This dataset offers detailed insights into movie critic reviews and ratings sourced from Rotten Tomatoes, serving as a valuable resource for film analysis [1, 2]. It enables comparisons between audience scores and professional critic "tomatometer" ratings [1]. The collection includes data for over 17,000 films and their associated critic reviews, providing a rich foundation for understanding cinematic reception and critical discourse [1, 2].

rotten_tomatoes_critic_reviews.csv, which has a size of 226.05 MB [3, 7]. This particular file contains 8 distinct columns and comprises approximately 1.13 million records representing individual critic reviews [3]. It is important to note that due to the scraping process, there might be minor inconsistencies between certain fields of the associated movies and critics datasets, particularly concerning aggregate review counts, as they were scraped at different times [2].Usage
This dataset is ideal for detailed analysis of movie critic reviews and for conducting comparisons between user-generated ratings and professional critic scores [2]. It can be effectively combined with other publicly available movie datasets (such as FilmTV) to enrich research, build recommendation systems, or perform in-depth analytical projects on cinematic trends and reception [2].
