Tom Holland from Uncharted with Daisy Edgar Jones from Where the Crawdad Sings and a Verified Hot Logo
Summary 10 of Rotten Tomatoes' Verified Hot titles were despised by critics despite audiences loving them. On August 21, the review aggregator site introduced the Verified Hot badge, a way to honor movies that earned high audience scores comparable to the Certified Fresh badge earned by movies with high critic scores on the official Tomatometer.
Audiences seemed to find the movie's adventure genre throwbacks much more charming, however, honoring the project with a 90% score, exactly hitting the threshold for the project to earn its Verified Hot status. The movie also generally appealed to fans of the games, breaking through the initial skepticism that many had had about it being a prequel to Nathan Drake's in-game story.
The movie's 95% Popcornmeter score, an overwhelming improvement on the original Maleficent's 70%, tells an entirely different story, however.
However, audiences disagreed with critics entirely, giving the movie a Popcornmeter score of 93%, which far exceeds the score of either previous installment. According to user reviews, the reason for this is the fact that it is action-packed, leaning in on the strengths of its ensemble cast, which includes action icon Gerard Butler as well as Morgan Freeman, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lance Reddick.
On the other hand, Shaft earned a 94% score on the Popcornmeter. Its strong performance with audiences seems to have much to do with the power of legacy. In addition to seeing one more propulsive story being told in the franchise's universe, many users responded well to the nostalgia value of seeing Samuel L. Jackson and Richard Roundtree reprising their original roles onscreen once more.
