And no, I say the "general populace" is far from being reliable. This said, there's a lot of people out there, much like a lot of reviewers. There are common people who are better than any reviewer when it comes to judge a movie but you rarely has the chance to hear them. Likewise, there are reviewers that are nothing but click-baiters lacking any degree of professionalism and ofcourse you'll stay the fuck away from them (quite easy since they kinda get a reputation and you can judge their previous reviews about movies you watched by yourself).
