With the end of the year just around the corner, Rotten Tomatoes put together a list of the 30 most popular movies in 2021. If you want to find out which is the Top 10, we will tell you here!
Within days of the end of 2021, the famous review and review website for film and television, Rotten tomatoes, put together a list of the 30 most popular movies of the moment based on what their users watch. Instead of telling you all the movies on the list, we leave you the Top 10 with the synopsis and the score given to each one Rotten Tomatoes. These include Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Matrix Resurrections and Don’t Look Up, films that gave (and continue to give) a lot to talk about.
Remember that it is not a ranking for good or bad film, it is simply for its popularity. The release date also influences a lot, since a movie that was perhaps much discussed and had great acceptance at the beginning of the year, could now be surpassed by those that are newer. A clear example is Dune. However, there are some cases where the movie is not from this year.
