Eh, I'm of the opposite opinion. They're very solid films in general (Age of Ultron is the lessor film out of the two Avenger films anyway). But I respect your opinion; I just think that blaming the solid continuity of the MCU is kinda short sighted when the problem all lies with the way RT formats its critics (non-professional ones in particular). Yeah, the consistency of the MCU is a driving part of the problem where the other studios are expected to compete at the same level of quality/consistency, I agree. But that should really be a bigger enticement for said studios to step their game up (and that includes getting consistently solid screenplay writers and comic book writers to set a definitive great script; DoFP is a great result of this and a good director on top of it. Synder is an example where it doesn't work, relying a style over substance director is what led BvS to where it ended up).
Shame though that it's happening to Apocalypse when Days of Future Past is virtually the second best hero film (after Spider-Man 2 and Winter Soldier).

I'm still planning on seeing it either way to support X-Men. The style Fox goes with them is a drastically different from Marvel's and that's a good thing to me. (Not that I complain much with Marvel's approach in general anyway).
RT is just so sketchy at times. On one hand, when it gives out a fresh score, it's nice to have but yet it's not really necessary anyway especially if the reviews are biased. I never really relied on reviews in general (barring the Fantastic 4 disaster and that was spotted months ahead of time).
Or was it always like this?
