80% vs 40% at Rotten Tomatoes. It also has favorable reviews at Metacritic, while fans around the net trash this movie and trash it hard. Why?

I'm not sure. I like every actor in this movie and I find Gina is beautiful and fascinating but I just good not get into this movie at all. Even with the good fight sequences, it was a bit boring for an action movie. It seemed like it tried to be a thinking man's action movie but the plot wasn't strong enough to support that so it just ended up being kind of dull.
shareI never saw it, that's why I'm asking. I was a huge Gina Carano fan and was excited to see her get a break (though her acting career seems to be failing). But when the movie finally came out the reviews from critics and fans were so far apart I was simply baffled (by the extreme, not the difference in opinions).

Wait, aren't Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic aggregators? And you were there, which means you could have read the comments and figured out why the audience did or didn't like a movie. So you went back to a site you're more comfortable with to seek a more approving review of your favorite actress...why?
Face it: Gina Carano isn't that good of an actress, not if she can't put together a better performance than Michelle Rodriguez. There's a good reason she's going back for the payday in UFC; that's where she made her name, not acting.
Simple answer: the director.
He is deeper than what us action fans want. Critics love him!
Because critics can't face the fact that Soderberg isn't the genius they've been touting him as for years. If you have to know he directed it to find the movie good, that's a pretty good hint it isn't on its own merits.
shareI think the critics like him because he's "unique." I've only seen three Sodobergh movies and I hope to see a few more, but I'm not really floored by anything he's done in Traffic, The Girlfriend Experience, or Haywire. I haven't seen Sex, Lies, and Videotape which is supposed to be his best movie, however. I understand he has his mainstream fare and then his "experimental" projects, but whatever.
shareDon't forget to watch his coolest movie Out of Sight. The movie that really cemented George Clooney.
Then Soderbergh went for all-out cool, humour and fun in Ocean's Eleven, with the greatest cast of modern A-listers ever assembled.
Because its not an over the top crapfest.
shareI would say that the critics rating of 80 at Rotten Tomatoes is a bit too much. But the audience rating of 5.8 at imdb is a bit too low. I would give it 6 or 7, out of 10.
shareRotten tomatoes does not work that way, 80 percent of the critics liked it, its the not the score they gave, to know its real score check the average rating below the percentage, it has an average rating of 6.8. Lets say you make a movie and ask 10 people whether they liked it or not, if 8 out of the 10 liked, it will get 80 percent.
