Bit deceiving. The only reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are audience reviews. No aggregation of film critics available.
It looks terrible, DC just can’t seem to understand... respect the source material...
Every movie they try to take well established characters and try to make them something they aren’t.... I’m sure it will make money, but it they plan on a long running franchise by the way they are handling the characters don’t bet on it
FWIW, The Emoji Movie got 0% on Rotten Tomatoes (eventually rose to 5 or 9%).
The audience reviews are bigger than the critics reviews. If the audience doesn’t like a movie, then the ticket sales suffer. Audience doesn’t neccessarily line up with critics, but they are who you sell the tickets too, they are the source of money for theaters and for the filmmakers.

“The only reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are audience reviews.”
who seemed to love it. but after reading some of the reviews, i’m highly suspicious that paid spammers posted most of those reviews. they all look alike (”Amazing Movie”) and make generic comments like they didn’t actually see the movie, and there are WAY too many posted for a movie that doesn’t open in the U.S. until tomorrow!
Looks like studios are resorting to paid trolls to post fake reviews to prop up their failing empires.
My kids pay attention to rotten tomatoes. If a movie gets trashed there, they don’t want to waste their time seeing it.
Critics have always been a little disconnected from audiences. Critics often focus too much on film techniques or plot innovations rather than simply was the movie enjoyable.
Surprise, Surprise!
rottentomaotes is 30% owned by Warner Brothers and 70% owned by Comcast/NBCUniversal:

Guess the foxes get to rate hen house security now ...
No, the article IS referring to the critics. If you read it, they received a leak. 48% audience score would be absolutely DEVASTATING, inasmuch as it would mean 48% of those who were so confident they’d like it that they bought tickets were surprised by disliking it.
AND “justice league” is being distributed by, drum roll, WARNER BROTHERS!

Looks like rottentomatoes has been reduced to an inhouse propaganda organ for Warner Brothers/NBCuniversal!
The audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes are always a better barometer than the critic scores anyway.
