I almost always check Rotten Tomatoes too. Usually if it gets a good rating there, chances are I'll enjoy it. Of course I still form my own opinions. I don't automatically like a movie because critics said I should. In my "Unpopular Movie Opinions" thread I just posted earlier that I was let down by the Tomatometer when I watched Bend It Like Beckham.
Also, it's good to know the difference between movies that will be critically acclaimed and movies you just want to see for plain fun. Most critics won't give certain brands of movies a second thought when reviewing them. Sometimes I just want to watch a movie with stupid, immature humor. Those movies usually don't score too well.
