    I usually have it the other way around. I’ll watch something, think it’s bad only to discover it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

      this happens to me. i had this for await further instructions. i thought it was garbage, everyone was unlikeable, and the moral is essentially shoced down your throat. 80% critic reviews. audience reviews were more reasonable.

        That movie was so boring. It’s like Hollywood was trying to spoof multiverse movies, but every where I look was people speaking highly of it. Waste of time more like it.

        Yes, that’s the other problem. Luckily I’m sailing the high seas so I don’t waste money.

        I find fandoms on reddit to be a decent gauge. I’ve been in one that was torn in half after the final season. It was hot garbage, but IMDB would make you believe it was actually good. Rotten Tomatoes was also more realistic. I guess good thing IMDB locked reading reviews behind login. I’m not tempted to waste my time on it anymore.
