honestly, i stopped caring for aggregate scores & started reading individual user reviews, particularly the ones in the 6-9/10 range seem to be the most honest. then I’ll watch the movie anyway & form my own opinion. every piece of media is essentially someone’s masterpiece, including video games too, even the bad ones are worth playing just to see someone else’s perspective.
if we’re talking the worst of the worst, like the last airbender m*vie, i personally dont regret watching it cuz it really put the good movies into perspective.
This is my perspective on a lot of art and music. If something is universally hated, I want to know why it is and if I can find any redeeming qualities. A lot of my favorite things have that characteristic of doing something very specific extremely well but being generally unlikeable.
For most things (not just movies) my tactic is to look at some average reviews, the most negative reviews and the most positive reviews, while checking if the reasons they love/hate it are things I care about.
Looking for reviews after you watched a movie seems kind of pointless to me.

Same, it’s why I prefer the “did you like it? Yes, no. Why?” Review system.
I think asking people to score 1-10 is too easy to mess up.
It also leaves room for important “movie is awful but I love it anyway” reviews.
