I, unironically, use this as a way of finding movies, TV shows and games that I might like.

If you go on RottenTomatoes and look at the critic score vs. the user score, you can really tell a lot.

For example, if a movie has a very low critic score, and a suspiciously high user score, it's most certainly religious drivel created to push a narrative. If you click on the reviews, it will confirm it. Every time.

Conversely, if a movie or show has a very high critic score, and a suspiciously low user score, it's going to be because of conservative snowflakes getting triggered. Again, reading the user reviews confirms it every time.

In the case of the latter, it almost always means I will enjoy the content. So I will seek out movies and shows that have that discrepancy.

You're asking the wrong person as I stopped caring about Star Wars a couple of decades ago.
