Reviews are only useful insofar as you vibe with the reviewer. If you've got really specific taste, mass appeal isn't a helpful data point.

This is definitely true. Seeing who liked or disliked a film is particularly helpful (to my mind, even more so when talking about music). On average, I tend to prefer the taste of critics and other people who dedicate their energy and thought to analyzing a particular media form, but beyond a simple RT/Metacritic score, I prefer to see who wrote what.
