I don't completely disregard the user reviews. It helps me get a feel of the type of movie or series when comparing it to critics review. The Gray Man has low critics review but high user reviews on rotten tomatoes. So i expected it to be something i can enjoy without too much of an investment. And it did. Helped me get through my 14 hr flight
The lighthouse is probably a good example of that. Critics have 90% but audience is only 70ish. There were so many themes within the movie that I had to look up online to understand it's significance. So overall not my cup of tea. Usialiif a movie has above 80% on both user and critics reviews i will watch it
