A depressing, shallow mess and a disappointment of epic proportions

As I said in a different thread, I may not agree with all of the players in (or not in) the baseball Hall of Fame, I like how they don't vote for a guy until he's been retired for 5 years. That forces perspective upon a player rather than just the groundswell of support because he was popular and went out on a high-note.
It happens all of the time. Something is popular and the fanboys can't distinguish that from being good. How many one-hit-wonders were described as being "the next Beatles?"
Between that and fake accounts that is why TDK trilogy is listed so high on this fan site. -

Okay if you had brought up the Transformers then I would of accepted your premise. But not those movies.
I have not seen Furious 7 so can't comment on that. But those others are not bad movies.
I hate Avatar with a passion, I hate its cliche dialog and unbelievably predictable plot points. But what the movie actually aims to do, it does very well. The effects were revolutionary, the 3D stuff worked, and the Cameron knows how to do action.
Iron Man 3 happens to be another movie I hate. Hated the Mandarin twist, hated the villain, and hated the parts with the kid. But what the movie aims to do well, it does. Downey does his thing, action is solid, humor is definitely there, and you had the Marvel bonus scene at the end.
And Avengers is just fan. I don't think it is groundbreaking in anyway. But that movie could of been a total mess, but Wheddon really held it together. Every actor did their thing, it did its fan service, and every peace seem to fit and matter.
These were well done movies, just because they don't fit yours are mine taste. Does not qualify them as bad movies. Just movies that are not for us. -

Dude, you're giving movies a pass on the weakest logic. "They did what they set out to do". Don't you think there's lots of movies that did what they set out to do? Lots of directors who were happy with their final product, but actually made a crap movie?
Avatar is an awful movie. I don't care about cool special effects. That stuff is for video games. I need a good story, and not just a total rehash and stealing from all of Cameron's previous works, not to mention a nearly complete rip off of the movie Ferngully.
Same goes for Iron Man 3. AWFUL film. Might even be worse than Iron Man 2.
I actually happen to like Avengers, but there are A LOT of people out there that would tell you its terrible and worthless.
Point is, theres movies that meet the aforementioned "billion dollars earned and good Rotten T rating" that actually aren't all that good. -

Haven't seen any of those movies.
Are you referring to the movies that I listed? If soyou haven't seen Avatar? Dude, every person on the damn planet saw that movie. Im shocked that you haven't seen it. Not chastising here or anything.cause I think the movie is simply awful.and good on you for never having to sit through that crap fest.
However the point is many people loved TDKR, it doesn't matter if you hate it.
No. That's not the point you made. You said :
Bad movies also don't make over a billion dollars and get great reviews on RT.
And then I gave you some examples.
What about Return Of The King? You seem to think that's a bad movie.and it fits your above criteria.
