The average critic score on RT was 6.5. Which aligns pretty well with nearly every other way of measuring the ‘public consensus’ on the movie. (For eg. The average audience rating on the same site is 6.2.)
And of course, I was on these boards when that movie came out. I do remember certain voting idiots-of-the-public trying very hard to convince others:
(1) That a 1/10 score was totally objective.
(2) So objective, that those votes were popping up before the public release.
(3) But they were still logical, ya see. Because people were taking a stand against remakes. That it was this remake (and not say, the frigging remake of Ben-Hur) which sparked such a ‘stand’ is a total coincidence.
(4) And all that being said, everyone should rip it to shreds and not to see it as ‘the movie is sexist against men, because they’re all presented as villainous idiots!’

The last being a blatant lie, btw.
Funny how one ‘agenda’ supposably needs to be taken into account, but not others.
