Make good original films and the moviegoers will come out. The last two Pirates films were jokes. They thought they could jam another one down our throats. The Hollywood execs should just look in a mirror. They are to blame, not RT. I guess it doesn't matter when a film gets a great score on RT and the fans turn out. Please own up to your own incompetence.
The Hollywood movie studios aren't concerned about making good movies, they are concerned about making good money.
And if Rotten Tomatoes movie critics goes against the flow, it's RT's fault, not the movie studios.
This is not the way I think, but it's the way Hollywood thinks. ...In general.
The good movies don't make money, only the bad ones with positive reviews. This is the audience's vote, this is the moviegoer's money encouraging Hollywood to make more bad movies.
It's the movie reality we're in, and it goes further into the depth of the industry in making the latest technological advancements, cameras and sound mixes and editing CGI images..., @ the service of superficiality. There is no brain in this industry, it is mainly money entertainment, to escape our sad reality.
Kids go to universities and learn the art of cinema, they get their diplomas and start making films for brainless audiences...guts spilling, blood splattering, cars smashing, guns erupting, people flying, heroes saving our planet. The battle between evil and more evil.
But there are good films, the ones presented @ Cannes. ...And others lost in the obscurity of the vast blinded oceans.
Only very few of those are encouraged by the movie studios, very very few; the ones they'll have to invest on publicity to make money.
But for Pirates flicks with Johnny they blame Rotten Tomatoes film critics for not making $100 million on its opening weekend.
Success is generally measured by the money level and film critic's ratings. There is no clear definition, there is a statistical average from movie generation to generation...from the late 1800's to early 2000s. ...Roughly 150 years less.
Make good original films and only smart audiences will go see them. The movie studios know that, and they are not in the business to attract the smallest audiences.
But it's not only Rotten Tomatoes movie critics that the Hollywood movie industry is blaming for poor revenues @ the box office; it happens in all other sectors of the entertainment world. Classical orchestras are struggling financially (in general) and Hard Core Vulgar Heavy Trash music is number one choice to attract masses of our young people.
Video games; what is selling...hockey, basketball, tennis, soccer, car races, ...or aliens versus humans, armies versus enemies, battleships versus fighter jets, John Wick versus mafioso, Ultraton versus Megaton?
Today advertisement, including movie critics, is big in selling tickets, even bad movie tickets. They are selling the outside, the effects, the superficial, the kabooms, the black waves, the fabricated illusions. If the movie critics and the movie audiences are going to get smarter, Hollywood might start making good movies...a la Cannes festival style, European class.
This is only my overall general view, in this surreal surrounding world. Most movies are soulless, emotionless, brainless. That's what audiences want. ...It's the general trend.
The bigger the screen, the more pixels, the more speakers and subwoofers, the more reds, the more ultra definition and resolution the better the bad films look and sound and generate profits. John Wick has better reviews from Rotten Tomatoes than Jack Reacher. Logan has better reviews than the last Caribbean Pirates. Which is the smartest flick?
Are we not entertained? And who contribute the most if not the filmmakers. ...And everyone else around them; including the publicity, the trailers, the film critics. Hollywood can't afford hiring negative movie critics.
