Explanation
Wow, what a terrible movie! Not a single reviewer could think of one nice thing to say? You need two words that mean something like “unanimously criticized” or “100% disliked.”
Roundly means “emphatically,” or “so thoroughly as to leave no doubt.” Panned means “reviewed negatively” and is almost always used to refer to plays, movies, etc., so the word is a perfect match here.
Roundly, panned.
