Happened to me after watching Thor 2 during covid. I enjoyed it. Looked it up afterwards and it was ranked the worst movie in the MCU up until that point.

    That’s why I ignore any sort of reviews when deciding what I should watch. If something looks interesting, I give it a try. I’m not going to let a bunch of miserable assholes who think hating something makes them interesting decide what I get to enjoy.

    Also not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Some movies need to be the Sunday morning hangover movies. I'm not going to watch Interstellar on a Sunday morning when hungover, I'm going to watch Transformers because I know I can shut off my brain and go "big explosion cool".

    I'm usually deciding by first thing in order that allows me to:

    1. description, tags, and whatever I see on the streaming / store / database website; works 90% of the time for stuff I won't like (1 of 10 I like something I didn't think I would) and 70% for stuff I will like (3 of 10 I don't like something I thought I would)
    2. opinion of people I know - that can be a reviewer I've been watching for some time or a friend
    3. comments to get some random details (some would consider them spoilers, my shite memory does not)
    4. opinion of people I don't know - reviews, average rating
    5. coin toss

    I sometimes change my decision after seeing a random clip
