Nope.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think they neither help people choose the right movies to watch, nor do they project what they want to what other people want. Well, perhaps some of the more egoistic do, but you cannot lump all reviews into the same category.

The rationale for my thinking is, people are not sheep, and reviewers are not God. Reviews do not factor in my decision to watch anything. In fact, I typically watch the movie / TV show episode or read the comic book first. After forming my own thoughts, I then head over to the reviews and see how my opinion stack up against the reviewers'.

Thus, I use them more as a validation of my opinion, than as a heuristic on whether I should do something or not.

For example! I make sure I finish reading up on comics that interest me, before heading to IGN to see what the reviewers say. Ditto with the latest episodes of Young Justice, ThunderCats, and CSI - the only shows I follow nowadays.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
