while I have to admit that I turn to metacritic more often than I do to Rotten Tomatoes for my initial thoughts on whether I should go see a movie or not, I do prefer the way that Rotten Tomatoes goes about their reviewing system.
Yes, NY Times may not think, "I Love You, Man" deserves more than a 60, but I still really enjoyed it. Just because a movie doesn't get high ratings from critical thinkers doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, and that, sometimes, is more important to me.
Now, if even the average viewers think the movies terrible (something you can really only see via Rotten Tomatoes), then I know to stay away... at least until it mysteriously pops up on my Netflix Instant queue.
PS. For my money, "Toy Story 3" is definitely the best movie of the year, but "The King's Speech" is an exceptionally close second. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it. It's moving without being too dramatic. I loved it. Also, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" is awesome, but that's mainly because I love HP in all forms... except, like, in miniature form. I'm not that crazy.
