A review of a film is an opinion of one person, but it plays very importantly on the box-office performance of a movie. It can be a super hit or it could just be a super flop. The audiences are obsessed with what critics think about the movies, without even thinking that their field of interest might be completely different from them. Here are 5 movies which didn’t get a good response from the critics:
1) Suicide Squad
Everyone thought that David Ayer’s Suicide Squad would win over the hearts of the critics, but it proved to be just as polarizing as its previous movies. As the movie received negative reviews that irked the cast and crew, and they started defending the movie. Cara Delevingne claimed that critics don’t like superhero movies, and David Ayer reignited the old “I make movies for fans, not for critics.”
2) The Avengers
Everyone who thinks that Marvel has a backing of film critics totally lives in a virtual world. The New York Times movie reviewer was one of the few who criticized the Avengers. Many disagreed with his view. Samuel L.Jackson tweeted that Scott needs a new job. They both went back and forth on social media.
3) The Lone Ranger
The Lone Ranger received some of the pretty awful reviews from the critics. Stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer took over the critics, Depp felt that a majority of the reviews were written long before the film was premiered, while Hammer felt that purposely bashing the movie because of it budgetary woes.
4) Titanic
James Cameron’s epic romantic drama won everyone’s heart, and they won 11 Oscars in 1997, but they failed to win the heart of LA Times’ Kenneth Turan. he criticized the moving saying “it reeks of phoniness and lacks minimal of originality.” Cameron wrote a lengthy letter against Turan, accusing him of hurting the feelings of those who loved the movie. He had even written to the Times in an attempt to fire Turan.
5) Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
The DCEU could not live up to the hopes of many with the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. As the movie faced a severe criticism, many of the actors and members came in support of the movie.
