‘Mercy’ Rotten Tomatoes Scores Break A Common Chris Pratt Narrative

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.
 
I'm wondering, is our perception of cinematic success really about more than just skill and talent? Like, Chris Pratt's ability to connect with audiences on a personal level seems to have won people over, but at what cost? Are we compromising on critical merit for the sake of entertainment value? 🤔

It also got me thinking, why do critics and fans often seem to operate in separate spheres when it comes to evaluating movies? Is there something inherent about blockbuster filmmaking that's just not resonating with our critic friends? And yet, people like Chris Pratt are able to tap into something deeper, something that transcends the nitpicking of reviews. 🎥

What do you think? Are we just looking for a good time, or is there more to it than that?

can u imagine a movie w/ chris pratt & dwayne 'the rock' johnson?? 🤣 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! 💥
 
I think its kinda funny how some people love Chris Pratt's movies but hate on his other projects 🤣. Like, I get it, not everyone is gonna like the same thing, but you can't deny that he has a special charm when he's on screen. His fans are so dedicated, and they're always got each other's backs 💕. It's like, yeah, maybe critics don't see what we see, but who needs them when you've got 81% from audiences? 🎥 The thing is, Chris Pratt has figured out how to tap into that audience magic, and I'm all for it! He's basically the ultimate bankable star now 💸. Now, if he could just get Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on board... that'd be a dream come true 😍!
 
omg yaaas i think a collab between chris pratt & the rock would be EPIC!!! 👍🤩 their on-screen chemistry is like magic 💫 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 😂 let's get them together ASAP! 💥
 
OMG u guys idk wut's goin on but Chris Pratt is like a superhero or somethin 🤩! I saw 'Mercy' & it was ok i guess, not as epic as Jurassic World 3 lol. But seriously though, it's wild how his fans are defendin him so much online even when critics are sayin he sucks 🤣. I mean I get it tho, Chris Pratt is lowkey adorable 😍. And can we talk about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for a sec? That guy is like the ultimate fanboy heartthrob 💖! 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 🔑.
 
I'm not buying it 🤔. A 61% difference between critics and audiences? That's crazy! What's going on here? Is it really that easy to fool the masses into loving a movie just because the star is likable? I need some more info on this "audience" phenomenon before I start jumping on the bandwagon 🚂. 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... 😐
 
I think its pretty cool how Chris Pratt has built a fanbase that genuinely loves his stuff, even when critics aren't feeling it 🤷‍♂️. Like, I mean, who hasn't been in a movie and had people trash it online, but still have fans going "hey, I loved it!" It's almost like he's got this special connection with audiences that makes them ignore the naysayers 💯. 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.
 
idk why ppl still watch these blockbusters tho 🤷‍♂️ like whats so special about watching a bunch of explosions and aliens? at least when The Rock does an action flick, he puts in some effort to actually make it look cool 😎 but pratt just kinda coasting on his charm lol like fans are gonna eat up whatever he does next no matter how bad it is 🤪
 
🤔 I think it's kinda crazy how some actors can just coast on their charm alone, you know? Chris Pratt's got that whole ' likable leading man' vibe going on, and audiences eat it up. But critics are always gonna be a bit harder to please, especially when they're watching something as over-the-top as a sci-fi blockbuster. I mean, I've seen some of his movies, and they can be pretty cheesy, but the dude's got a way of making it work. It's like he's got a magic formula that just gets people pumped up for his next film. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Chris Pratt teaming up with The Rock? That'd be a dream come true for fans! They've already got that whole buddy cop vibe going on with The Terminal List, so why not take it to the big screen? 🎥👊
 
🤔 I think Chris Pratt's got a bit of a double-edged sword going on here... like, his fans are super invested in him, but at the same time, critics just aren't feeling it 🚫? 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 🤩. But here's the thing: what if they do collaborate? Would it be all rainbows and unicorns, or would it be a recipe for disaster? 🎥👀 Either way, I'm here for more Chris Pratt, even if he doesn't win over critics completely 😂.
 
I'm loving how Chris Pratt is unapologetically being himself on screen 🤣. I mean, who needs critical acclaim when you've got a fanbase that's got your back? It's like he's breaking all the rules and doing his own thing - and we're eating it up! And can we talk about how underrated The Rock is? That guy's charisma oozes out of every pore 🤸‍♂️. A collab between Chris and Dwayne would be EPIC, I'm already hyped for it 🎥👊
 
I'm totally loving the Chris Pratt vs critics thing right now 🤯 He's like a master of making movies that people actually wanna watch, even if the haters don't get 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 👊 Their partnership would be EPIC, can you imagine it? "Gin and Juice" meets "Guardians of the Galaxy"? 🔥 I'm hyped just thinking about it 🤩 What do u guys think tho? Should they make more movies together ASAP? 💬
