Elon Musk has recently lashed out at movie critics over the reviews of The Super Mario Bros movie. According to Independent, the animated children’s movie, adapted from the best-selling Nintendo video game franchise, was released in cinemas this week. It is reported that the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, The Super Mario Bros movie has a critics’ score of just 54 percent positive, marking it as “Rotten”. Interestingly, the audience score, which is voted for by non-professional critics, is a “Fresh 96 per cent positive”. On Twitter, the website’s CEO reacts to a tweet from an account called @BoredElonMusk, which contained a screenshot of the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes scores. “Content review systems are broken. Because critics have a problem with Chris Pratt, the ‘experts’ have deemed the new Mario movie a D- even though audiences clearly love it,” read the tweet. It added, “Both of these groups are obviously biased, but the disparity here reveals a major problem.” To this, Musk responded and wrote, “Wow, the critics are so disconnected from reality!”
