Actually there are two numbers, the Tomatometer (the critics' score) and the audience score. I just go by the critics's score; in fact, if that's higher than the audience score, that's a positive indication. I generally avoid movies where the audience score is higher. (Baywatch is a fine example, with 18% on the Tomatometer but a 60% positive rating from the audience.)
- EpicEng 9y agoI do the opposite and it's worked well for. Some types of movies rarely do well with critics, but there is an audience for e.g. dumb comedy. I'm not one, but I love comic book movies. The user score gives me a much better idea of whether or not I'll like it because it's driven up (or down) by a bunch of people with similar taste.
