Up a level: any notion of a "score" for a movie is inherently BS. The box office totals are there, if you want a score.

Pick one or two critics you know & respect, read them, and decide for yourself if you might like that film.

I find the general aggregation of reviews with key quotes (e.g. that you see on wikipedia) to be extremely useful; you can get a sense of how the movie plays out even from reviewers that you don't know or don't respect, as there's always some objective critiera worth mentioning, and some of those things are important to me and some are not.

Definitely agree with what you're saying, though I guess I'm saying you don't need to limit yourself to a particular subset of reviewers.
