Critics are becoming snobs
If you look at the audience score for these movies it's vastly different than the critics scores
Baywatch 20% vs 70%
Pirates 31% vs 72%
you can add King Author movie to that list 29% vs 79%
Then you look at best picture winners
Moonlight 98% vs 80%
Birdman 91% vs 71% (edited originally had 81% here and that was wrong)
you can see that critics have lost touch with what audiences like. It sucks because you miss out on enjoyable movies that won't get follow ups because they got a low tomatoes score
John Carter comes to mind.

I really don't let RT or critics drive my theater watching habits.
It has gotten ridiculously expensive to go to a movie (concessions etc) and often times other patron's behavior make me not want to go.
That plus 65" 4K HDtv with surround system at home makes the wait tolerable.

A regular person that goes out of their way to see a poorly reviewed movie and then rate it is generally someone that is going to give it a favorable review, imo. There is also a "defiance factor" there.

JC failed b/c of a god awful marketing campaign. It wasn't sunk by critics at all.

The average person is a fricking idiot. Critics aren't doing reviews to pander to retards.

I don't think that's it so much as a certain segment of the population enjoys bad, lazy movies and try to pass themselves off as representative of "general audiences" in order to make themselves feel better about liking bad, lazy movies.
