"Get Out, Jordan Peele's excellent new movie, recently had its perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating ruined by critic Armond White. In a now-deleted tweet spotted by the Wrap, star Lakeith Stanfield issued a succinct response to White's review. "Armond White is a bitch," Stanfield reportedly said."

Wow...just wow. Did he seriously think this movie could maintain a perfect RT score?

Seems to me like Armond White is honest. I'm going to bet that he doesn't take money for reviews.

You're not suspicious of what is going on, dude?

Do you really think this many people could think that movie was good?

I agree w/Lakeith! Armond just wanted to be contrary and ruin the movie's perfect score. His critique wasn't even well-written.

When I saw the score had dropped from 100 to 99 I knew the one bad review would be from Armond White before looking at it. I loved the movie but even I was suspicious of 100% RT score. None of the nominees for Best Picture had 100%! And nor do I care if I movie I like maintains a 100% since so few movies do.

It's VERY suspicious. Not sure if anyone in the government investigates fraud like this or if any journalists do investigation anymore, but it's time for an expose of what is going on.

Right? It's still suspiciously stuck at 99% and I can't find anything anywhere about this. This movie was a C+/B- for me.
