Thank you for actually contributing to the thread. Nice to see you flip. Went from saying “rotten tomatoes didn’t exist then” and dismissing reviews to now saying “oh it’s always been like this”.

I rewatched Boomerang and checked Rotten Tomatoes to find that that audiences and critics trashed this movie. How is this possible?

Rotten Tomatoes was known for being biased. They trashed a lot of good films. Also there was a time when movies competed against each other in the theaters and Rotten Tomatoes did lien on pushing certain movies. Having a black movie and a majority black cast wasn't one of them. They also gave Harlem Nights two starts.

Just concede what's obvious to everybody reading the thread.
As an adult I understand story and writing more. it Wasn’t the greatest.
movies like new jack, Scarface, & belly were not great with me watching as a adult. the acting of dmx, Wesley, & AL made those movies cult classics. That’s how I feel about BR

It was well known that back then white critics would often hate on black films that put a LOT of black talent in successful positions in movies. Especially if the other successful people were ALSO black.
Its okay to have a black successful person in a majorly white successful space as "one of the good ones" but when everyone is black and successful? Shiiiet, they weren't having that shyt. They hated Harlem Nights too.
You had to put black folks in rundown situations, in the hood shooting each other and shyt or some other 'struggle' shyt in order for them to feel that it was 'realistic'.

Rotten tomatoes scores for a good portion of classic black films are low. I chalk it up to white people
I think the main thing to take from cac critics being so displeased with the film is their keen sense of image perception. 
It bothered them seeing white men in s subservient position for a Top model presentation. It bothered them not seeing caricatures of black people shucking and jiving. It distributed them seeing nothing but black people in autonomous powerful positions in a world not shaped by them. In fact there wasn't much racial commentary in the film at all and when it was the main characters mostly viewed it as a conspiracy theory. White Americans were not ever present in the psyche of successful professional black people and this bothered them.
Boomerang is a radical film off gp. Which is why black folks loved it. It's how our world view would be without the hindrance of cacs.
