If there’s a movie I don’t like,
and I see the rating site consensus showing “low critic score + high audience score”,
THAT is more likely to convince me than anything else to re-evaluate my opinion.
And if there’s a movie I DO like,
But it gets an AWFUL audience rating despite high praise from the professional critics,
That will ACTUALLY make me second guess and wonder if I’m wrong about how good I thought it was.
