I have to read the reviews; I do that for restaurants as well; the ratings don’t mean so much to me personally; people often up and down vote on a whim and emotion (just in a bad mood) so reading why they (particularly) didn’t like something tells me if I would like it.
- nyaahilist 3y agoI always take movie reviews with a grain of salt depending on the genre. Horror & Comedy ALWAYS get the harshest critics. Horror especially, but honestly unless the IMDB is above a 7 or Rotten Tomatos gives it like 85-100 I leave it up to my own personal judgement. I love watching just about anything if the story is interesting (and I find just about anything & everything interesting so that doesn't leave much off the table)... I've gotten off topic though lol. TLDR you can't always trust reviews (or peoples tastes). If the Trailer & synopsis hooks ya why not give it a shot when you can always just stop watching if it doesn't pan out. --- Now as far as an IMDB for open source, I'd say maybe even go so far as doing a Letterboxd type deal? When it comes to opensource projects it always helps to hear what the users are saying about it.
