Companies who sell products tend to rely on sales and profits in order to guage success, not the ramblings of Internet trolls. Your examples to back up your comment have been hilarious. No, I'm no Twilight or Beiber fan but you listed two things that are massively successful. I somehow doubt that when Island Records is deposting another million dollar Beebs check or when Stephanie Meyer decides to go on a Scrooge McDuck swim through her Twilight gold, they are thinking that you know, despite all this massive profit and success, they should probably just wrap it up and declare it all a failure because some people don't like the product.

Yes but due to the massive hate they get, their downfall will come much sooner and you'll be seeing Justin Bieber on Maury yelling " I ain't dat babies daddy". Why do you think people like Stevie Wonder or John Lennon are still relivant to this day? Singers like Justin Bieber and movies such as Twilight are something I like to call a short term success. Couple years from now Twilight will be all but forgotten, whereas movies like the LOTR trilogy and Harry Potter series will still be talked about and remember for many many years to come. 

Yes because everyone loves LOTR and Harry Potter. You're now officially arguing against yourself. Good job......

Not everyone but the majority. Majority rules.

Majority of what? Your small social circle comparitive to the population of the world? What majority are we talking here?

Majority of the people that have watched it? Do I need to spoon feed you people information? Jesus Christ.

RottenTomatoes:

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - 92%

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - 96%

Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King - 94%

Of course not everyone who watched it liked it whether it be them just trolling to "stand out" or just genuinly didn't care for the film. 

Again, what does this matter? Your bizarre definition of success doesn't fit with reality.

Yeah, if you go to RT and see those ratings, they are high for those movies. And those movies made tons of money.

But if you look at the top grossing movies of all time and then see how they fared on that same site, I counted almost 20 that were "not fresh" just in the top 50 or so of all time WW grossings and not a single one of them are anywhere close to failures. All massively successful films that all reeled in hundreds of millions of dollars of profit.

Where you looking at critics review or user review? User reviews are more reliable because there are many more votes and it's a better overall result on whether the majority of people liked it. I know I used critics review for LOTR but I couldn't be bother to click the movies to check user reviews. Although I'm sure those ones are in the 80s.
