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.

It's also a great surprise that Superman Returns, a movie even the "so forgiving audience" doesn't really like much did get so good scores from the critcis but well, I guess that isn't a "bought score", that is just a different and fair opinion by critics...

Critics like Iron Man 2/3 just more than you do, pretty simple. And man, a Meta of 57 for Iron Man 2 doesn't even really look that great.

Maybe Mad Max: Fury Road is bought. I mean, critics and the audience like it but critics liked it much more, this is not possible in a fair world.

Or Godzilla or...
