I wouldn't call myself a film buff but I've watched thousands of films and shows. My gauge is usually the metascores, with some exceptions. Knowing this, I generally watch films with a metacritic score over 55, and am usually whelmed. It's also important to understand directors and their previous works, and styles so you know what to expect. I still prefer imdb's ratings generally.
I tend to judge more on the plot summary. If it sounds interesting I'll give it a watch. A good idea can get me imagining things even if the implementation isn't that good.
