A 93% on rotten tomatoes just means that 93% of critics rated it above 50%, 5/10, 2.5 stars, whatever on their scale. It’s not an aggregate its a binary good/bad system. So even though you were a little down on it, your own summation would actually add to that 93%.

I saw it last night at the Screenland Armour’s excellent premiere party and, though I liked it, I’m having a hard time figuring out why it had a 93% positive rating on RottenTomatoes. Personally, it wasn’t nearly as good as First Class, which I loved.

My problem with it is that they used the time travel crap to essentially rewrite anything they wanted. Oh, Prof X got shot and was paralyzed but because of a convenient serum Beast came up with, he can walk but loses his mutant powers. Oh, people didn’t like that Cyclops and Jean Gray were killed so now they’re alive again. The concept just felt too contrived to me and, though I enjoyed the movie, it’s more like a 6-7 for me than a 9 or 10.
