Critics don’t judge entertainment they judge “art”. Artistic films are not made to entertain, they are made for concept or to “get a message across”. A Critics opinion is not for the public, it’s for pretencious “artists”
Most film critics do judge on entertainment value though. The difference is that film critics are watching like 200 movies a year (or more) so a lot more stuff is going to seem like tired retreads to them.
Normally when critics don’t like it it’s a good movie.
Lots of critical have liked lots of good movies
For example, Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo
On Rotten tomatoes the movies I’ve disliked most have 90s and my favourite movies are below 50

You’re being downvoted but in a way you’re right.
You cant be a food reviewer and review a pepperoni pizza as “the worst soup I ever had”. You need to review things as what they set out to achieve.
