Not critics. Not algorithms. Just the percentage of everyday people who actually liked a movie โ across 11,353 films. Find where audiences and critics disagree. How it works โ
๐ ThumbScore
The percentage of everyday Google users who gave a movie a thumbs up. When you search for a movie on Google, anyone can vote thumbs up or thumbs down. ThumbScore collects millions of these votes and turns them into a single number. A ThumbScore of 92% means 92 out of 100 regular people enjoyed the film. No accounts, no written reviews, no verification โ just real people saying whether they liked it or not.
๐ฌ Critics Score
The average of Rotten Tomatoes (professional critic reviews) and Metacritic (weighted critic average). By combining two major critic aggregators, you get a balanced view of what professionals think โ not just one source.
๐ฅ The Gap
The interesting part: when the ThumbScore and Critics Score disagree. A movie with 85% from audiences but 30% from critics? That's a film real people love that critics dismissed. The bigger the gap, the more "controversial" the movie is โ and those are often the most interesting films to discover.
๐ก Why It Matters
Unlike Rotten Tomatoes (where a 6/10 from every critic = 100% "Fresh") or IMDb (where review-bombers can tank a score), ThumbScore is a simple binary: did you like it, yes or no? This makes it nearly impossible to game and gives you the clearest picture of whether a movie is actually worth watching.
