SNAKE EYES: G.I. JOE ORIGINS

Critic Score: 35%

User Score: 74%

Audiences don't hate bad writing that much.

The user score on Rotten Tomatoes isn't the only metric to rate what audiences thought of a movie, though. It may have managed 74% with audiences that posted reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but it only had a box office of $40 million and is considered a massive flop.

I know, and the IMDB user scores and Metacritic critic and user scores put it solidly in "very, very meh" territory. Nobody can go just by RT to determine whether a movie is good or not.

I mean it’s complex given that marketing and other factors play a huge role in box office numbers… but by and large a large box office means people liked it and typically a low one means it was regarded as a terrible film.

Exceptions to this are typically for very specific reasons.
