Which is the case for some movies of every movie studio?  Just look up at Warner, you will find "several cases of reviewers' RT being higher than the audience who should be much more forgiving"

And Iron Man 3 with 75% doesn't say anything, just that critics liked it more than you did on average. But since you can't believe it it has to be rigged, right? In no way could critics simply say "well, not a really great movie but still worth to watch it"

There is no way that many critics can recommend Iron Man 2 or3 without some external push. Some movies are just bad. When critics are being invited to premieres, odds are that they will want to be re-invited again and will give movies a good score. This is too much like game journalism.

I thought Iron Man 2 was decent and Iron Man 3 was great.  I must have been bought off, right? I mean, the only real 'problem' with Iron Man 3 was that the Mandarin wasn't the Mandarin, but what was actually going on made more sense as far as the movie was concerned.  Iron Man 2 wasn't that deep or engaging, but it was still leagues ahead of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".  Now THAT was an atrocity.  

And no matter where you go, people loved The Winter Soldier, both critics and audiences alike.  They were good movies.  (Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier)
