Ebenezer wins Friday. Critics would rather talk about Paper Tiger.

Six films on the light table: Johnny Depp's Scrooge opens on top with mixed reviews, James Gray's New York crime drama and a Rocky origin story lead the critics, and a livestreamed heist movie struggles on both counts.

Where the two scoreboards disagree

Rotten Tomatoes counts the share of reviews that are positive; Metacritic averages how positive they are. A film everyone mildly likes can score high on one and middling on the other. Here are this week's six, plotted against each other.

Scatter plot of Tomatometer against Metascore for six films. Paper Tiger 86 and 79; I Play Rocky 86 and 68; Victorian Psycho 75 and 52; Ebenezer 53 and 46; Ghost Soldier 42 and 41; How to Rob a Bank 30 and 48.
  • Paper Tiger is the one both sites agree on: 86% positive on Rotten Tomatoes and a 79 Metascore, with no negative reviews among Metacritic's 29.
  • I Play Rocky matches it on the Tomatometer (86%) but averages 68 on Metacritic: broadly liked, rarely loved. wide gap
  • Victorian Psycho shows the biggest spread: 75% positive but a 52 Metascore, with Metacritic's reviews split nearly evenly between positive and mixed. 23 pts
  • How to Rob a Bank runs the other way: only 30% positive, yet a 48 Metascore, because many of its notices are lukewarm rather than outright pans.
