> When 95% of critics tell you to see a movie that only 10% of people enjoy, something's broken.
Well... expectations shift between a movie ticket and a bucket of popcorn for 10€ or the same for 30€.
Cinema has gone really damn expensive, and loaded with ads to boot - but movie critics don't get that crap experience, they get exclusive previews. It's literally a different world.
My GF adds other points: while the audience as a general loves "typical plot" movies, critics who have to see 20 movies based on the same formula a year will be sick of it.
