A 63 Metascore represents generally favorable reception for what was a wildly profitable venture—nearly $295M worldwide on an $80M budget suggests audiences were less discerning than critics.
Shutter Island trails significantly behind Martin Scorsese's 79.8-point average across his other 21 scored films, falling 16.8 points below that mark and well short of his best-reviewed work, Mean Streets (96).
Leonardo DiCaprio's 63 here trails only slightly below his 65.3-point average across his other 24 scored films, landing 2.3 points down and falling short of his best-reviewed work, One Battle After Another (95).
