What Search 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes does
Rotten Tomatoes is where many people check whether a new release is worth their evening: the Tomatometer sums up professional critics, and the audience score shows what ordinary viewers thought. This bot brings both numbers into Telegram. Type @RottenTomatoesRoBot and a title in any chat, choose the right match, and the chat gets a card with the ratings, which is handy when a group is arguing about what to watch.
It is not a product of Rotten Tomatoes. The bio says plainly that it scrapes RottenTomatoes.com and names its developer, @SpEcHlDe. Scraping is the weak spot: when the site changes its page layout, a bot like this can stop returning results until the developer fixes it, and there is no company or support team behind it.
Within those limits the bot is simple and harmless. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay, and it never links to pirated copies: it only relays public scores. Use it as a quick second opinion next to an IMDb or TMDB card, not as your only source of film information.

FAQ
Is this bot made by Rotten Tomatoes?
No. Its bio says it scrapes RottenTomatoes.com and credits an independent developer, @SpEcHlDe.
Why does it sometimes return no results?
The bot reads the public website, so a changed page layout or an unusual spelling of the title can leave it empty. Try the original English title.
