Netflix
- Netflix released "The Cloverfield Paradox" right after the Super Bowl.
- Critics are calling it a "trainwreck," and it has a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
- This is a surprise, since the other two movies in the franchise were well-received by critics, especially 2016's "10 Cloverfield Lane."
Netflix released a trailer for "The Cloverfield Paradox," the highly anticipated third movie in the "Cloverfield" franchise, during the Super Bowl on Sunday night. And then it released the movie on Netflix right after the game. This was shocking given that, as of early January, Paramount was set to release the movie in theaters in April.
The reveal stunt was great, but unfortunately critics hate the movie. Right now, it has a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first movie, "Cloverfield" (2008), has a 77% rating, and the second movie, "10 Cloverfield Lane," has an impressive 90%.
So why is "The Cloverfield Paradox" so bad? We collected some of the rotten reviews from critics to give you an idea.
