From my experience, reading reviews and "opinions" will only bias you one way or the other and will shape how you approach it. If you see a movie has an IMDB rating of 4.5, when you watch that movie, you will be expecting a 4.5 movie and will experience it as such. If you don't know the "consensus" about a movie going into it, you'll experience it on your own terms and form your own opinion, independently of what others have decided.
