Paddington 2 loses the top spot on Rotten Tomatoes after its first rotten review was added today

Posted this previously but it was taken down because apparently my title broke a rule. So posting it again with a new title.

The review in question is here.

Felt like it was relevant news after the big media circus around Citizen Kane losing the mantle a few weeks ago. Here's a snippet from the review

I reviewed Paddington 2 negatively for BBC radio on release in 2017, and on multiple occasions after that, and stand by every word of my criticism. This is not my Paddington Bear, but a sinister, malevolent imposter who should be shot into space, or nuked from space at the first opportunity. Over-confident, snide and sullen, this manky-looking bear bears little relation to the classic character, and vievwers should be warned; this ain't yo mamma's Paddington bear, and it won't be yours either. Maybe if you've never seen the tv show and don't know any better, this'll work, but long-term Paddington fans will find this too much to bear.

Does this sound ridiculous to anyone else? mean he's entitled to his opinion but it feels like a contrarian reaction with it being added just weeks after the aforementioned news. Thoughts?
