I agree, you can't really aggregate opinions like that. What I do if I don't know about a movie is see if there is hype after a movie comes out. I had no intention of watching Fury Road, but everyone was saying how good it was. It ended up being one of my all time favourite movies. Same goes for Deadpool. I thought it was going to be another shitty Fox comic movie, but so many people were saying how good it was, I had to go check it out and it was really good for what it was.

There are a couple more that I can't recall right now that I knew nothing about, but there was so much good feedback that I had to go watch them, and ended up really enjoying them. Other times, I am hyped for a movie because of a director or actor, and it ends up not being as good as I'd hoped. A recent case in point for that is Hateful Eight, but that may be due to a shitty watching experience [sitting in a 13 degree Celsius cinema with a small screen, next to an asberger's guy who kept twitching and sighing every 10 seconds]

BvS will take a LOT of good feedback for me to go watch it in a theatre, and so far I'm not seeing much hype at all, just some apologies and excuses from fans for why they like it.
