While Marvel movies review much better on average than most films, Thor: Love and Thunder is currently in the bottom five of all scored MCU movies on Rotten Tomatoes with its 71% critic score, a far cry from the top five Thor Ragnarok, which has a 93%.
I think it’s noteworthy that the Spider-Man movies seem to be the biggest favorites among fans, taking up two of the top three slots . And while Shang-Chi is a top 10 reviewed Marvel movie, a 98% audience score means people really loved more than most, it seems.Black Panther, the #1 critic scored movie with a 96% has a 79% audience score. I’m willing to say that at least some portion of this is due to racist review bombing at the time of release.
As for the notion that if critics score something low, audiences are bound to score it high, there’s only onebig outlier, and that’s Eternals, the only “Rotten” scored MCU movie by critics at a 47%, which fans gave a 78%. Not a top movie by any means, but certainly not at the bottom, either.
So, in reality, critics and fans are…actually fairly aligned when it comes to the MCU, outside of a few outliers that were created by active review bombing campaigns. Otherwise, tastes are more similar than you might imagine.
