        Uhhhh, I dunno, I suppose that’s possible. Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t around in 2000, was it? Would they have aggregated from, like, newspaper reviews at the time?

          That’s a damn good question let me look it up

          From their FAQ:

          Rotten Tomatoes has a team of curators whose job is to gather thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team constantly collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications generating Tomatometer scores. Our curation process considers these reviews, noting if they are Fresh or Rotten, and our curators choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
