WTF are crtics thinking

Ok I am starting to think critics are big phonies. This was one of the bet films I have seen this year and it gets a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Honestly i think critics are being paid by movie companies to praise their film and then when they review other films they put it down. This movie was shot beautifully and had great acting and great directing. If films like Forrest Gump and American Hustle are are in the 90 percent range why is this not.
The secret life of walter mitty is on my best movies of 2013 list.

No idea why they'd rate it so low. All I can think is that they just hate Ben Stiller maybe? I'm certainly pretty sick of his usual schtick. This movie was one of the few where he breaks his own typecasting and makes something worthwhile.
