The more daring, artistic genre stuff is often punished by critics whereas play-it-safely-by-numbers with a bit of wokey-dokey seems to get rave reviews.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

no way it will ever go under 7 with audience on imdb. its highly enjoyable. the critics are way off on this one. you cant compare it to Venom on any level, I mean quality wise. its like a different galaxy. Venom was truly bad, badly shot, badly edited, with some questionable acting. this is well done with absolutely amazing acting. the script has weaker spots, yes, but to me its more about "are you willing to accept the directors game or not". i accepted it and it wasn't hard for me to do so.

Critics also trashed VENOM. Were they wrong there too? Actually, why do you say your opinions on these movies like they were facts? You said that you were going to like it in other threads. That might mean that you were biased when watching it.

despite his critical ratings going down, people still keep coming to his movies and make it a commercial success.

1) People buy the ticket before seeing the movie. If a movie is a box office hit it's mainly due to marketing.
2) Ever since THE HAPPENING, M. Night's name has been downplayed in the marketing. There was a report that people giggled when they saw the trailer for DEVIL and his name appeared on screen. His name wasn't mentioned at all in the marketing for AFTER EARTH.

its like Gotti. that was also nearly not as bad as they said.

GOTTI helped prove how unreliable online reviews and even just scores by non-critics can be. It also tried to make people hate critics by calling them trolls. So... Not the best example.
