I has originally not planned on seeing this movie based on the previews and such, but now that it's getting good ratings on RT I will make a point of seeing it at some point.

This is key. If any old reviewer gives it the thumbs up I'd say it isn't that important (unless it's somebody you strongly agree with like Ebert). However, if a population of people all tend to agree on it's quality I think that has more clout. That's why sites like metacritic and rotten tomatoes tend to draw my attention.
That being said often times you'll find yourself the outlier. I tend to find everything funny, so many comedies that don't strike a chord with everybody else will sit just fine with me. For those times i tend to go on opinion of my friends that have a similar sense of humour.
I think Avatar looks cool. I wasn't very big on it when I saw the first trailers, but the most recent one I saw had a bit more storyline in it and it was intriguing.
