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.

I say "critics are way off on THIS ONE". didnt mean to imply they were wrong on Venom too. They were not. Venom was not too well executed (thats an opinion) But for me personally it was still an enjoyable movie and I can see how and why other people enjoyed it too. Sometimes I like bad movies. Glass I simply dont consider a bad movie (also an opinion). Glass wasnt perfect, there were some questionable choices in the script, but it was well shot and the acting was simply amazing in all key parts. Which is not something I can say for Venom. Sure I was looking forward to the movie, so that might have played into it, its not like I was hiding it. But I was looking forward even more to Welcome to Marwen and didnt like the movie so its not always a reliable "bias". I simply was entertained throughout Glass, was not bored for a minute, and actively enjoyed it.

I dont understand what you mean by your sentence about Gotti, how did it prove anything? To me mentioning Gotti was a perfect example of the point I was trying to make. Critical score doesn't always match, sometimes they just get on the hate wagon too easily. Gotti got 0 from more than 50 critics on RT. That would have made it an absolutely unwatchable movie. It was not. Was it great? No. Was it very good? No. But I believe it was decent or just slightly below average. (way below expectations, sure). I didn't walk out, and was really invested in the plot, my biggest gripe with the movie was the editing.
