Rotten tomatoes is actually very useful if you know the magic formula:

* If tomatometer & audience score are within 5% of each other, you can trust the ratings to give you a decent indiciation of movie quality.

* If tomatometer is more than 15%+ higher than audience score, it means it's an artsy fartsy movie that critics like and movies don't.

* If audience score is 15%+ higher than tomatometer, it's a fun movie even if it's not oscar worthy. (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/old_school is a perfect example)

Or woke. Critics love woke, at least officially. Audiences not so much. I suspect critics also do not actually like those movies in private.

That doesn't matter. They're important and have a message. Sadly not everyone in the world has the same bien pensant beliefs as the critics.
