There should be a college course since it happens so much.
A movie I like. High Critic Score, High Audience Score, and makes money.
"I knew it, these critics and the audience know what a good movie is"
A movie I do not like. High Critic Score, High Audience Score, and makes money.
"What do they know, this movie is going to end cinema for ever. No one should listen to any of them."
A movie I like.
Low Critic score, low audience score, makes no money.
"Never listen to these people this is a masterpiece. It will be a cult classic one day"
A movie I do not like.
Low Critic score, low audience score, makes no money.
"They are right on the money this movie is terrible. Downfall of everything."

The way I go about it is this. I know what I like and try to seek out reviews from people who have the same tastes in film as I do. If they give a film I'm interested in good reviews and I go and give it a watch. I find my go-to site for this to be Letterbox.

I only use the internet as judgement because that's how I experience most of the marketing for a movie, via Youtube trailers etc.
If the idea of a movie intrigues me, and a trailer makes me want to see it, then I'll go and see it. But if a movie and its idea doesn't appeal to me, regardless of what the trailers can offer, I probably wouldn't see it. Some things I do take a leap of faith with, if I get bored and there isn't much else to watch, then I'll look at the reviews, and if it's got high critic rating and a low audience score, it's probably not that great for a recent release. But if the audience score is high and the critic score is mediocre then it's probably decent inough to take a dive into a movie that I care nothing for.
However, as of late I've just got more into the habit of seeking out older foreign films, ones that I have heard about and have briefly had my attention in the past. I've watched a few Akira Kurosawa movies and so far my favorite one is Ran (1985).
The beauty of being alive now is that there are a plethora of older movies to dive into. Of course, being alive earlier in the past there weren't as many movies made to watch, nor as easily available.
