Can the movie's RT "consensus" be added to the information returned by the Movie Info API call?
In the case of your "Gone with the Wind" example, this is the text that would be returned:
"synopsis":"Filmed and presented on a scale not seen in modern productions, Gone with the Wind is, if not the definitive Hollywood film, then certainly near the top of the list."
It would seem that the consensus is only enabled when searching with imdb id.
Compare this:
http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?q=inception&apikey=[your_api_key]&_prettyprint=true
To:
http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movie_alias.json?type=imdb&id=1375666&apikey=[your_api_key]&_prettyprint=true
Hi 12aon, thank you for catching that! That is a mistake and should be corrected now. It was enabled on the main movie info endpoint and the alias endpoint is a "mirror" of that. Now it should be enabled across all endpoints that show movies. Please give it another go and let us know if anything else looks wrong.

Yes, consensus would be really nice to have. Please consider adding this.

I was going to ask for the same thing, it explains the scores really nicely. I would certainly use it.

It is a perfectly concise summary.
Especially useful for situations where you don't want to go into massive detail.

+1 on adding Consensus. I came to ask for the same thing, only I didn't know it is called consensus.

Hi folks, a critics_consensus field has been added. Updates to the documentation are forthcoming.
