Tom Hanks has branded film critics ‘c**ks*****s’ in a discussion about Hollywood’s changing response to films as his latest movie tanked at the box office.

Critically speaking, it’s not been received well either, with a grim 36% score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes where the movie was slammed for its ‘excess of AI’ and for feeling ‘corny and static’. Fans have been more positive, but Here – which digitally de-ages Hanks and Wright so they can play the same two characters from 18 into their 80s – is still only on 57% from their verified reviews.
