I have to read the reviews; I do that for restaurants as well; the ratings don’t mean so much to me personally; people often up and down vote on a whim and emotion (just in a bad mood) so reading why they (particularly) didn’t like something tells me if I would like it.

I always take movie reviews with a grain of salt depending on the genre. Horror & Comedy ALWAYS get the harshest critics. Horror especially, but honestly unless the IMDB is above a 7 or Rotten Tomatos gives it like 85-100 I leave it up to my own personal judgement. I love watching just about anything if the story is interesting (and I find just about anything & everything interesting so that doesn't leave much off the table)... I've gotten off topic though lol.

TLDR you can't always trust reviews (or peoples tastes). If the Trailer & synopsis hooks ya why not give it a shot when you can always just stop watching if it doesn't pan out.

Now as far as an IMDB for open source, I'd say maybe even go so far as doing a Letterboxd type deal? When it comes to opensource projects it always helps to hear what the users are saying about it.
