100% is not perfect. The way RT work, 100% might mean that 2,000 out of 2,000 film critics gave the movie a 6 out of 10 (therefore a positive review).

RT is bad to assess how good or bad a movie is; but good to assess how much of a consensus there is on if a movie is generally good or bad.

He may not figure it out. Sadly, a lot of people buy into the narrative that if they get downvoted it might be not because they were rude but because they dared to say a "hot take" and people "can't take it".

And I don't say this because I have stakes in defending Captain Marvel as a movie. I found Captain Marvel AND Batman v Superman to be both rather bad movies. It's not even a controversial take: a lot of people disliked both movies. Some people get very incel-ish about why they dislike Captain Marvel, and that's a big yikes. But that aside, the movie isn't (imho) a very good movie anyway.

Don't hate a movie.

When I was a kid my parents have this habit of mocking me (in a benign silly way) when I said I hated something. THey repeated it but making the word "hate" sound ominous.

"Oh, so you HATE this TV show?"

It goes to say that words matter. You disliked (or heavily disliked) the movie.

You hate a horrible person that's doing horrible things.

Hatred is such a strong visceral emotion.

You don't hate a silly thing.

And if you truly do, then you need to work on your emotions most likely, because it's bad for you that you let yourself feel pure real hatred towards a movie that was (according to your words) just bland.
