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)

Low audience vs critic reviews can also indicate review bombing. This often happens on films or TV shows targeted by rightwing media for being too “woke”.

The show that always sticks in my mind as an example is HBO’s Watchmen, which has 96% with critics and 56% with the audience.

And vice versa for leftwing media for being too "offensive".

And example would be Dave Chapelles specials.

What movies have that happened to?

Sorry i added an edit. An example would be Dave Chapelle special.

That was over justified problems of transphobia, and not nearly the same scale of reaction. I also wouldn't really call a compilation of stand up sessions to be a movie, though that is neither here nor there.

I can't actually think of any films that attracted the same foaming at the mouth as you see by conservatives.

It wasn't justified though. The humorless hordes who complained not only could not take a joke, but also were irate at everyone else not being similarly offended.

Perhaps his set isn't to the comedic tastes of everyone, but there's an easy solution to that: don't watch it if you don't like it.
