Don't see where a guy who's talking about making Rush Hour 4 should get any sympathy for a bunch of critics not liking some of his movies.
That being said, as someone that doesn't get out and see movies very often, I had a completely inaccurate idea of what Rotten Tomatoes does. Since I first heard of RT, I thought it was based off of what actual paying moviegoers like yourselves thought. I thought it was a site that gave a voice to the public. I thought people joined the site and those ratings were from millions of people that saw the movies. Had no idea it was a compilation of ratings from real movie reviewers.

It's not even that.
The RT score that gets talked about simply gives you the average of "fresh" (good) and "rotten" (bad) reviews.
A movie can have a fresh (or rotten) average but still get mediocre scores overall from the critics that would average it out as a something like a 5 out of 10.
If you want general audience scores you should to look at Cinemascore. LINK
