John Krasinski & Natalie Portman’s New Movie Bombs with Low Rotten Tomatoes Score!

by

In a turn of events, the new adventure film starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman on Apple TV+ received a less than impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Notably, Krasinski is recognized for his portrayal of Jim Halpert in the hit series The Office. Building upon this recognition, he utilized it to develop one of his personal projects – co-writing, directing, and acting in the post-apocalyptic horror movie A Quiet Place, later followed by penning and directing its sequel, A Quiet Place Part II. Most recently, Krasinski has chosen to focus on more family-friendly projects, such as writing, directing, and voicing in the fantasy comedy, IF.

Conversely, Portman is well-known for her role as Padmé in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Subsequently, she rose to become one of the most esteemed actresses of her generation, receiving three Academy Award nominations for Closer, Jackie, and winning one for her portrayal of a tormented ballerina in Black Swan. Portman has also made a mark in action films, starting with Léon: The Professional and extending to Star Wars, where she played Jane Foster in Thor and Annihilation. Now, Krasinski and Portman are collaborating on an upcoming action-adventure film set to premiere on Apple TV+.

Fountain Of Youth Debuts With A Disappointing Rotten Tomatoes Score

It Releases May 23 On Apple TV+

The Apple TV+ action-adventure film titled “Fountain of Youth,” directed by Guy Ritchie and written by James Vanderbilt, has made its debut with a low Rotten Tomatoes rating. In this movie, a talented treasure hunter (portrayed by John Krasinski) is compelled to collaborate with his intelligent, estranged sister (Natalie Portman) as they set out on a quest to locate the legendary Fountain of Youth. Alongside them are an impressive ensemble cast that includes Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci.

Prior to its premiere on Apple TV+, the film “Fountain of Youth” made a rather underwhelming start with a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With only 30 reviews at this moment, the score might change as more reviews come in. Currently, there’s no audience rating, but it will develop once the movie becomes available on Apple TV+.

What Fountain Of Youth’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Means For The Movie

What Are The Reviews Saying?

The Fountain of Youth has a poor rating on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating that its reviews are predominantly unfavorable. To illustrate, in the ScreenRant review of Fountain of Youth, Alex Harrison states, “I’m glad this film was produced, but I’m disappointed it wasn’t made better… In some aspects, Fountain of Youth is the adventure tale I desired, yet it’s so riddled with imperfections that I find myself both entertained and annoyed.

If not for its nostalgic appeal, flashy entertainment value, and Guy Ritchie’s distinctive direction, the reviews for Fountain of Youth are predominantly unfavorable. Critics often mention its story as being unoriginal, lacking in wit, and shallowly executed. Yet, it is praised for providing moments of enjoyment that please a crowd without offering much depth or novelty. In summary, Fountain of Youth is generally viewed as an enjoyable but forgettable film.
