Super Mario Bros. & the Death of Film Criticism

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is being torn apart by critics, especially when you look at the Critic Score on Rotten Tomatoes, but fans will tell you that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is anything but Rotten. So why then is their such a divide between Critics and Audiences? And is film critique fundamentally flawed if critics can't appreciate an animated film dedicated to Nintendo's Favorite Plumber (sorry Luigi...). Note: This is not meant as a review of Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Rather, a look at how it points out a fundamental flaw in the art of film criticism, and Rotten Tomatoes specifically.
