It really depends on how good or bad a movie is rated. If it is a movie I really want to see or really have no interest in seeing than the rating won't matter, unless the movie I have no interest in gets extremely great ratings across the board. That is enough to make me curious.
There are many movies where I wished I had listened to the ratings and there are many I am glad I didn't.
I had no interest in Moonlight for example until it got praised across the board and in this case and many cases like it the ratings did me a great service. There are many good movies I might have never watched it not for the ratings.
Ratings are very useful whether people want to admit it or not. I mean if it wasn't for the critical praise of all the movies in the past we wouldn't even know where to begin with what movies to put at the top of our watchlists.
Ratings are great for Indie movies that very few people would even have heard of or notice if it wasn't for the ratings.
