So, watch this if you’re in the mood for something really good.
Something I never see addressed: what you want to watch eventually rarely correlates with what you want to watch now. On the whole, you'll spend lots of time putting "good" movies on your queue, but when time comes to pick something and hit Play you'll pass over those and pick some recent release which engages your excitement now and will be long forgotten soon after.
The star rating system confuses this even more by relying entirely on people who will bother to rate something at all - a very different crowd than the "what's good?" and "thrill me now" mindsets.
Insofar as ratings exist, I focus on written 1-star reviews (movies, apps, products, whatever), looking for a subclass of "there really was a particular problem" comments.
