Luckily we have rotten tomatoes as a decent indicator of actual critic reviews. Until they start gaming the reviews to boost movies they (subsidiary of Comcast)

  You think they aren’t already?

  Personally I couldn't care less about the critic reviews/score, but the audience score is usually spot on for the stuff I'm interested in.

    Sadly it only used to be that way for me. In genres I liked, the consensus could be all the way down to 30% and I knew I would enjoy it, as in 30% and above would be a good movie for me. But then things with 70% positive audience reviews in the same genre started being imo the dumbest poorly written, composed, experiences... I guess this is a sign of getting old and out of touch? or the presence of shills? I dont know but I know not to trust them

    I like to use the audience score as well. I found it has some pitfalls occasionally, although they can be fun. Certain movies attract a very narrow and enthusiastic, that will upvote the movie disproportionately (people not interested in the kind of movie will not even vote). A my little pony movie can get as good scores as the Godfather. Maybe it is, who knows.

      Yeah, this is why critic reviews are still needed.
