Don't forget the audience score. If the two are both high, it's a must-see.

I've read plenty of fairly scathing reviews about awesome flicks like Birdman and Interstellar, just to name two recent examples... movie critics like the smell of their own shit.

Don't read the reviews, just look at the average scores. If the reviewers score it low but audience scores it high, it's probably "fun" but not groundbreaking or original. If both score it low, at least wait for Redbox or Netflix. If critics score it high but audience scores it low, it's an art flick - if you like that kind of movie, watch it; if not, pass.
