Maybe it's just me, but I find the "Tomatometer score" to be confusing. The combination of the tomato graphic with a number confuses an otherwise obvious rating.
I have a very strong (but false) intuition that the tomato graphic is a qualifier for the rating number. i.e. "Is this saying that 92% of people would throw tomatoes at this performance? Oh it's a fresh tomato...but wait, why would they throw tomatoes if they like it. Oh I see, the tomato is a lame representation of the rating, not saying something about the rating number."
Anyway, my false intuition is so strong that I still have to concentrate to ignore the tomato and simply look at the number (even if the number itself is controversial as noted by this discussion thread).
