Google has recently altered the way Rotten Tomatoes scores are displayed in search results, now prioritizing audience scores over critics' evaluations. This change has sparked reactions from various stakeholders, including film critics and the public. Following backlash, Rotten Tomatoes has announced plans to restore the visibility of critics' reviews alongside audience scores.
