I always use the app as my go-to if undecided on a film. However like a lot of user -based review sites it's a platform for the disease known as "review bombing", often by people who've not even watched the film but got told to by Twitter lol. Ignore any review 10/10 and 1/10 and look for more balanced views which sit on between 3/10 to 8/10. It still takes a bit longer and needs reading but you'll find enough objective views. The level of customisation, library of info, lists and features is superior to Rotten tomatoes, although that can be a negative too as usability and navigation is better on RT. However the review panel for RT do seem to getting out of touch with everyday folks, particular with just plain old fun, creative escapism type films that you can sit and enjoy them with the kids on a Sunday afternoon. This is often evident in the wide score margins between critic and user review!

Looked up Rush Hour 4 news, found "ten things about Rush hour trilogy that didn't age well". Zero technical critique, just an idealogical lecture by a suburbanite using the platform of films that are loved by people by of all genders and backgrounds. Upon further look it seems to be common on SR sadly. Back to RH, it droned on into a patronising dig at whoever found it funny. The reviewer spun every ingredient used by nearly all comedies for people over the age of 15. They work because of context and delivery. I thought, could you imagine anything more unfunny than this reviewer writing a comedy script?!? I can't
