Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
The left is Rotten Tomatoes which I usually my go-to. The relative % of critic and user ratings let me know what. Getting into. If both are high it's a well made blockbuster, critic high user low is thought provoking, critic low user high is the Walmart lowest denominator slapstick, action, or romcom, and both low is trash like Freddie Got Fingered or The Room.
The other is Letterboxd, a social movie review platform, that I've never used but I can imagine it would make my peenus hort.
Solid analysis of rotten tomatoes scores. The comparison between critic/user reviews says so much more than the scores themselves.
FGF is a masterpiece of comedic cinema, sir.
So is The Room.
Yeah, and even if both ratings are low, it can still be enjoyable to watch for you.
The only real way to know if a movie is good, is to watch it yourself.
Barring just watching EVERYTHING, which nobody has time for, you should follow movie critics that share your sensibilities.
Tbh, i think that any ratings platform is decent once you get an idea of its userbase. I use imdb because i have all my life and I don't care to figure out how rt does their ratings when i can more or less get a general idea based on the genre what the imdb score says
