Peter Boctor has created a free Rotten Tomatoes Application for the Apple iPhone called Tomatoes, which is now available on the Apple App Store. Tomatoes lets you quickly search for any movie using Rotten Tomatoes, without having to load the full webpage.
“Tomatoes is an iPhone and iPod Touch application that makes it easy and fast to search RottenTomatoes.com’s vast movie database. You swipe through your search results and see key information about each found movie including the movie photo, when it was released, it’s rating, who’s in it, a consensus about the movie and the Rotten Tomatoes score. Whether you’re at the movie theater, wandering through the video store or channel surfing, with Tomatoes on your iPhone or iPod Touch you are only moments away from finding out if a movie is the right one for you.”
Check out the demo video below.
Now if only someone would make an iPhone app for the Internet Movie Database…

Hey!
We need a /Film app!
The website takes a while to load on the Browser,
So im hoping for a /Film app down the line!
This RT app is pretty cool too

/film doesnt need a app, it takes a while to load the first time and then it is fine.
IMDB needs a app really soon, it will be very popular
RT is a good app i had a look at it and thought it was okay for now.

Neither RT nor IMDB is better than the other, they just do two completely different things.
RT gives you a ton of reviews and an aggregate score.
IMDB gives you cast, crew, etc.
Neither is a substitute for the other, and BOTH should have handy iPhone apps.
And what about boxofficemojo? That would be great to see on an iPhone app as well, although it would be tricky to cram so much info onto a small screen.

Milo is right.
Also there’s a fairly decent web app for IMDB.

The Tomatoes app seems to be down from the app store. Sucks.
