Whenever a new movie releases, I check Metacritic to see the score it has. I get a general consensus based on it. If it affects my view of the movie? Yes. But I know it's an aggregate score of many reviews, and there are many things to consider on what makes a movie good or bad.
When it's about games, I also check the scores. Whenever it's above 75, I'm interested on the game. If it's above 80, it is much more likely to be bought.
