Not really surprising, this is just confirmation of what's been apparent for a while - Audience score is an accurate estimate of the movie, and the tomatometer (the critic score) basically just reflects the political correctness / marketing budget of the movie.

IMO audience score is more of a proxy for movie quality minus movie expectations. A lot of niche genre films do okay because 1: the only people who watch them are enthusiasts and 2: nobody goes in with high expectations to begin with. If everyone watched them and reviewed them they'd do much worse.

For a mainstream example, take Fast X. It's an objectively stupid movie with a great audience score - because it's exactly what it says on the tin! Nobody is confused about what they're watching. Nobody thinks they're going to get terrific drama or romance or suspense. They're going to get the 9th sequel to a comedy action movie about dudes driving cars.

I feel like these are added dimensions beyond existing rating systems but I haven't found a good way to capture the data or communicate it.

At a high level what I really want is two ratings: Global rating and does this deliver what it promised. A greasy spoon is objectively not a good restaurant but it scratches an itch and you have certain relatively low expectations of it so in the context of greasy spoons generally I might rate the restaurant 5 stars even if globally I'd give it two stars.

As you say with Fast X: objectively it is not a good movie but it absolutely delivers what it promised. People who like that movie series will be pleased with it so in that context it deserves a positive rating.

As a follow-on I want to tell the system about the things I like + the things I hate. Then I want the system to give more weight to ratings from others who both like and hate the same things. I honestly don't care if critics or audiences liked the movie... I want to know if people who in some way think like me enjoyed it.
