I dunno, maybe because unlike game reviewers the combined opinions of 140 or so people is a pretty good indicator of whether a movie is any good; most of the time. When the 9% of reviewers who actually gave the movie a positive review are very equivocal in their praise it's hard to see any reason to give the movie your time and money just to see if you disagree with the broadly held view that the movie is complete rubbish. And then when you have ordinary people who did take the risk coming out and saying the reviewers are right, the movie is shit, that adds further fuel to the fire. And finally when the director himself takes to twitter and says I did make a good movie, but its not the one you're seeing that pretty much kills off any hope that the movie might just be good.
