i stopped thinking imdb or rating for entertainment as “how good it is” but rather “the odds of me liking it” i’ve seen plenty 5 or 6 imdb but i absolutely love it. and 9s as meh.
Exactly. Critics are only useful if your opinions are similar to the critics.
Remember, even in recent years movies have been review-bombed for being “woke”, for instance, with hordes of people upset about things that are not important to the movie, attempting to destroy the reputation of the movie rather than evaluate it fairly on its own merits.
I was just watching facts behind “Robin Hood men in tights”, and apparently Siskel gave it half a star, which is absolutely insane. It’s no blazing saddles, but it’s one of the better Mel Brooks movies
So yeah, review scores are basically a good way to decide whether you should go to the theaters and watch it or wait till it’s on streaming. But outside of that, it’s not a good indicator of whether or not you’re going to enjoy the show.
