Plus, she's getting loads of 4/5 and 5/5 rankings from news sources which aren't accepted to Metacritic, so in the grand scheme of thing The Telegraph's 5/5 is pretty average for her reviews.

A few 80s from digital spy etc and a very serious 100 is average?
Thats ridiculous especially since the British newspaper press are usually quite harsh. As of now it's an anomaly.
But I agree with you about the star rating thing.

Can you tell me how each of the different critics are weighted in your formula?
- Absolutely not.
i mean why not?  |
I think because it's trying to be respectful to all reviewers. It could be deemed a bit rude to weight one publication twice the other (even if its obviously more prominent in the industry).
Holy crap
GREAT JOB! I am so proud of her 
because monsters decide to act like assholes instead of just minding their own business and of course it always backfires. Someone loved Prism, get over it.
