Average

There was a long discussion about made up averages of Rotten Tomatoes scores in film articles. Talk:The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(film_series)/Archive_2#Average_row The consensus of that discussion was that film articles shouldn't do made up averages, and as a result made up averages were removed from most film articles. I was surprised to see this article contains a made up average. I recommend removing it from this article too. -- 109.77.193.159 (talk) 16:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the 'Critical Reception' section, where it says "with his film's excessive use of explosions often being mentioned or parodied." I think, grammatically, the apostrophe should be after the 's' as the noun is plural. 2A00:23C8:9C05:6A01:4A6:7E35:BAF5:C743 (talk) 04:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
