It's all a matter of opinion. I don't even agree with most critics, anyway.
Apparently a lot of movie goers disagree with you on Green Lantern that's why it's box office numbers are below Cap and Thor. 58 critics on RT agree with you while 163 disagree with you. Both Thor and Cap have better ratings and box office sales than GL has to do with solid stories and characters.

And? I don't care what critics have to say. I disagree with most of them. Cap and Thor were nothing special and it shows. They're ratings aren't anything special.

Of course you don't, nobody is saying you should have an opinion. But Cap and Thor were obviously more special seeing as how both got ratings above 70%, backed by box office numbers surpassing GL, while GL got 26% . Obviously there were more favorable opinions by movie goers and critics for Thor and Cap over GL. So yes, it was as bad as people made it out to be and it shows in ratings and box office $$$. You just have a different taste then most.

Who the **** cares about RT anyway people act like that place is the voice of the world.
People who don't want to spend time and money to find out a movie is sh!tty. Not every movie is a must see, that's why they're are critics who's job it is to watch and review these movies. While not accurate all the time, it does a give useful insights and an average of differing opinions of those who actually saw the movie. It's no different then going onto a message board like this to gauge everyone's opinion and decide whether you would want to see a movie you never heard of or are on the fence about.

And the thing with critics their personal tastes also comes into all, What they like in movies etc and of course everyone is different.
Which is why RT is better since it's a collective meter and not any one critic deciding on a movies rating. The range of critics opinion is similar sample of the public whole. You've have your stuck up and easily satisfied critics along the those in between affecting the rating. No different than the public whose taste in film some what mirrors that.
