The doom and gloom on the basis of reviews is pretty funny.

Abandon ship! Strangers on the internet say the movie is only sort of ok!
People get invested in the films and books and want to see them do good, especially when it comes to beloved series' like LotR and Star Wars. They get worked up, and get disappointed. I don't think many, if any, people are going to "abandon ship", regardless of what RT says, though.

That being said, the scores on RT are generally reflective of movies I like or dislike, with a few exceptions, and obviously only really within genres I already like. My expectations are definitely tempered now. I'll still see it, but I'm a little disappointed it likely won't be as good as the LotR movies.
