didn't realize that sticks and stones was so critically hated. Was it really that crazy that critics were scared to be seen liking it?
There was a funny juxtaposition between sticks and stones and what may be the most unfunny special I’ve ever tried watch by this fat chick named Hannah Gadsby called Nanette that it’s RT critics score was 100 and fans score was 25...

I thought King Kong kicked arse, Im surprised only half the audience liked it.
I liked it a lot, but a lot of the scenes on the boat should've been saved for the extended edition.

Rotten Tomatoes gives something like The Waterboy about 20%
Because film snobs that take the time to rate movies on RT and IMDb generally hate comedy.

Glancing over those rotten tomato critic reviews is a shitfest of virtue signaling. Seems like they have a lot of compliments to give it that seem to have very little to do with being funny, which I kind of thought was the point. Kind of morbidly curious to check it out.

Hook has a 26% critics score and a 76% Audience score.

I promise you that the people on those respective websites constantly catapulting marvel and star wars releases into the greatest of all time status are NOT film snobs. Film snobs left imdb years ago, and they were never on RT, which every film snob knows uses a basic bitch calculation that produces scores that don't necessarily reflect the reviews its using to generate those scores.
People rate something like The Waterboy low because it's a pretty sucky movie, and most people aren't from Louisiana to care about the "local flavor" element.

Are you about to defend that Uncut Gems audience score? That would be a silly move.
It is easy to explain:around half of Adam Sandler's fans were expecting a comedy.

I just watched Uncut Gems on netflix and I thought it was awesome.

You don’t think it’s interesting to see the disparity between the average viewer and average critic?
Posted on 7/5/20 at 7:35 pm to SammyTiger
The Boondock Saints is probably the biggest disparity I've seen.
Critics: 25%
Audience: 91%
Critics: 25%
Audience: 91%

This was one of the first times that it crystallized for me just how divorced I (and by extension most of America) was from the media/social media/entertainment bubble, the first time it became apparent that the Rubicon had been crossed and there was a permanent diverging of ways.
An hour long "comedy" special, with no jokes, which consisted of an Australian lesbian detailing the miseries of her life and blaming many of them on the idea of comedy itself.
This was universally praised.
This was called "the future of stand-up".
This was called "the death of stand-up".
This was used to shame Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, and a hundred or two hundred more of the most popular, successful, and important comedians of the last 40 years.
And there wasn't a single voice in the bubble offering an objection or even a shred of a rebuttal.

Wish netflix would have a tally like rating system. But that would be shooting themselves in the foot on their own content

I think I can top this disparity, and this one will be tough to beat.
Shaft (2019)
Critics: 33%
Audience score: 94%
Rotten Tomatoes - Shaft
Critics hated it because Samuel L. Jackson wasn't PC. He called out effeminate men, crazy women, poked fun at gays and Muslims, and acted like a complete alpha male for two hours. It's a hilarious movie with great action but it made the coastal elites' heads explode. Clearly mainstream theater goers loved it.
Gotta love the SJW critics:

Shamelessly regressive. Male dinosaurs again walk the earth with misogynistic and homophobic impunity. These are the laughs, folks. Don't be surprised if they stick in your throat.

“Shaft” is a dreadfully tone-deaf and outdated pile of misogyny.

An unabashed celebration of regressively misogynistic and homophobic masculinity.
