I've run into this issue once before. I watched the movie Run, Hide, Fight and thought it was great. I checked it out on RT and saw a huge gap between member scores and critic scores. The critics all basically just talked about how the movie was crap because of the subject material, while the viewers essentially just said the movie was entertaining.
It made me feel like the critics were just really snooty... one of the reasons I've never gotten into wine drinking, it just seems like the people heavily into it were really snooty about the whole thing.
What's the word, highfalutin?

30% vs 93%...
The problem is that people that end up being film critics, celebrities and journalists are not representative of the population at large and they're mostly (with plenty of exceptions) susceptible to the politicised division that curse our time (which is a result of the technology we have available nowadays).
The end result is that politics doesn't simply bleed into art (as it always been) but forces the people in art to create propaganda tools.
When you say that half of the population is batshit crazy and this message is propagated through popular media everywhere, you end up with a scism.
In the same way as people are growing disillusioned with celebrities and newspapers, they're also putting miles between themselves and film critics - and Hollywood for that matter.
I'm looking forward to The Daily Wire (an American conservative publication) building an Hollywood alternative and making movies without the wokeness. Their first movie, Run Hide Fight has critics at 43% vs the audience at 93%.
The data presented in the article is interesting but I feel it's lacking a dimension. It's not about quantity, it's about the extremes.
The feminist reboot of Ghostbusters has critics at 73% vs the audience at 49% which is telling me more about this issue than knowing that critics like documentaries more than the average person.
