I like MetaCritic. It combines multiple scores and gives it a rating. This way, I'm not influenced by fluke reviews.

I do like the reviews. I remember one weekend I was looking for a movie to watch, and I was going to go see "Untraceable". Read the reviews, and decided not to.

However, I read another review for a movie that I had not even heard of. It had great ratings, great reviews. So I went and saw this movie, knowing nothing of the plot.

That movie? No Country for Old Men. Probably one of the best movies I have ever seen.

So for me, individual reviews carry little weight. Culminated reviews (I think Metacritic requires 10 professional reviews, like IGN, Chicago Tribune, etc before it posts a score) carry significant weight for me. And I've agreed with the cumulative scores much more than anything else.
