Chris Pratt, the actor who has become synonymous with blockbuster hits, is once again facing a familiar narrative - one that pits his on-screen appeal against that of his critics. His new sci-fi thriller, 'Mercy', is currently raking in lukewarm reception at the box office, yet it's his fans who are overwhelmingly in his corner.
A stark contrast can be seen between Pratt's Rotten Tomatoes scores, with critics skewing towards a dismal 20%, while audiences have given the film an enthusiastic 81%. This phenomenon isn't new to Pratt; similar disparities have been observed in other projects he has starred in, such as 'The Electric State', 'The Terminal List', and even 'Jurassic World Dominion'. The gap between his on-screen success and critical reception seems to be a consistent theme.
Chris Pratt's affinity for action-packed blockbusters is reminiscent of another Hollywood star - Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Like Pratt, The Rock has an undeniable charm that resonates with audiences worldwide, often leaving critics cold. Even movies like 'Black Adam', which had received scathing reviews from critics, still managed to find favor with audiences.
As for a potential collaboration between Chris Pratt and The Rock in the future, speculation is rife among fans and pundits alike. It's clear that their on-screen partnership would be a box office draw, given the success of their previous projects. With both actors having multiple projects lined up, including reprisals of 'The Terminal List' and 'Jurassic Park', it remains to be seen if they will reunite for another blockbuster.
One thing is certain - Chris Pratt has established himself as a bankable star in Hollywood, thanks largely to his ability to connect with audiences on a more personal level. His appeal transcends the realm of critics, who often struggle to appreciate the nuances of blockbuster filmmaking. With this in mind, fans are eagerly awaiting whatever role comes next for the actor, and potentially teaming him up with The Rock could be just what the doctor ordered.

meanwhile his fans r always got his back 
it's like, critics just dont get it 
and it makes me wonder why other actors struggle to replicate his on-screen magic 
i mean the rock is another one of those actors who just clicks with audiences 
their on-screen chemistry would be EVERYTHING in a future collab 
they're both all about the charisma and charm on screen, but critics can be super harsh sometimes 
still, fans always got their back, no matter what the score is like 20% or 81%! 
i think it's great that pratt's bankable star status is all about connecting w/ audiences on a personal level, 'cause critics can be kinda...out of touch? 
anyway, i'm excited to see what he does next, and if he & the rock collab again, that would be awesome! 
. Now, if he could just get Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on board... that'd be a dream come true 
!
i mean who else can make a sci-fi flick like 'mercy' so lovable? 
and honestly, critics just can't compete with the Pratt/rock fanbase 
! I loved him in Black Adam and I'm dyin to see what he does next. A collab with Chris Pratt tho? Yaaas please let's make that happen 
. The thing is, Chris Pratt has this special connection w/ his fans that even critics can't deny 
. It's like he gets it on a deeper level or somethin. I'm so excited to see what he does next & hopefully teaming up w/ The Rock will be the key 
.
. Where's the data? What are the demographics of these fans who love Chris Pratt so much? Are they even representative of the general population? Let's not get carried away here... 
. And yeah, his collaborations with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be awesome – can you imagine those two on screen together? 
It's not just about the box office draw either; Pratt has a way of making these big action flicks feel more personal and relatable.
? But you know what? I kinda think that's a good thing? Like, if he can tap into this huge audience and still manage to make movies that people love, then more power to him 
. And yeah, The Rock is definitely another example of an actor who's got a similar vibe going on... their fans just really get 'em 
Either way, I'm here for more Chris Pratt, even if he doesn't win over critics completely 
. A collab between Chris and Dwayne would be EPIC, I'm already hyped for it 
I mean, 81% on Rotten Tomatoes is crazy! That guy has got some serious magic happening on screen. And let's be real, The Rock is no slouch either 
I'm hyped just thinking about it
