rotten tomatoes influences many movie goers. The hardcore comic book fans will go see either way but this hurts poor people(limited budget) and those on the fence.

That is one of the most leveled and quality posts I've ever seen you make.
Yeah, a large amount of people use the scores on RT to decide on which movies they'll go see. Dismissing RT (for movies) and Metacritic (for games) isn't the best idea, and can end up being a pretty big waste of time and money. It actually is a good way to gauge the quality most movies (most, not all; there are cult classics and movies that appeal to a certain niche that others just don't really get). Not that the exact number score is reflective of the movie (rotten tomatoes only reports whether a review is positive or not; all the reviews could give it a 6 or 7/10 and make it passing, and that would show as a 100%), but if a movie is rated 80 and up by reviews, you can be sure it's going to be a good experience. If it's rated a 30 or below and near universally panned, you can be sure it wont be a good experience.
Things do get a bit more muddled around the middle 40-60 though. Man of Steel, for example, was actually a movie I enjoyed despite it being 55%.
Almost any DC film I will go to see at least once. But if the film sucks, then that takes away the repeat business, which MCU films have a healthy amount of I believe. I've already seen Thor: Ragnarok three times. There's not one MCU film I've only seen once at the theatre.

I have seen it twice but I'm going one more time. I wanted to wait until next week when Justice league is out to see it again my final time at the theatre.
I already purchased it on my ps4. Best Thor film and film of the year thus far.
Ive seen it twice with different groups of people....will see it again probably one more time.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: These 2 just met like for maybe 10-20 minutes and they are already acting like bff's and recreating a memorable scene from the comics and cartoons.
Not enough character development = Scenes have no weight.
Just like the Superman death scene.
Well, Grace Randolph, a self-admitted DC fangirl, who was the one who still spread conspiracy theories when BvS got so much hate IIRC, even seemed less than impressed with this film overall, saying her love of DC comics in part allowed her to overlook a lot of the flaws to enjoy the film. She even straight up used the word "bad" for multiple elements. So, if even the DC diehards are giving mixed reviews, I am not so optimistic anymore.

Yeah, because she openly said her love of DC allowed her to overlook flaws in the film, in her non-spoiler review. She had issues with Whedon, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and, judging by comments dropped about Steppenwolf an co, she wasn't that impressed with them either. So, if someone who pretty much made up a conspiracy theory to justify BvS' bad rep has that many negative things to note about this, it is not a good sign.

JL will have better legs than BVS, and probably still make a profit. So salty as ever.
