Certainly there will be some people who don't like ROTS, just as there were people who didn't like 'Titanic' (the most successful of all time both in the U.S. and globally by a MILE) and there were people who DID like 'Gigli' (Jimmy Kimmel said he liked it, so there's a trivia question you can use at your next pop culture shindig).
But I am 100% certain that the vast majority of people who see it will enjoy ROTS, most of them quite intensely.
And the fact that this particualr critic says that the picture will get "thunderous applause" is proof that either (1) he doesn't really believe his own points about the picture or (2) he's hedging his bet in case it's a bit hit, which shows that he's a phony.
Really, I can decide for myself whether I like a picture or not. I mean, I don't need this dude to tell ME what I think of a movie. Sure, sometimes I read critics because there's something about a picture that gnaws at me which I can't articulate, so I dig through a few reviews in hopes of swiping a good point, but that's the rarity.
I took my younger brothers to see a remake of one of my all time favorite pictures, 'The Manchurian Candidate,' because the critics were slobbering all over it. It was the biggest piece of shit any of us had ever seen. It's my money, my time. I'll fucking decide what I think.
