Is IMDb the best rating site?

IMDb is great for seeing what general audiences think of a movie. If you don’t care what the critics say and want to see what people like yourself thought of a film, then you should use IMDb. Just be aware that fans often skew the vote with 10-star ratings, which may inflate scores somewhat.

Are movie ratings reliable?

Short answer: not really. Longer answer: They’re fine for creating watch lists, but only to a point. If a movie has been around for a while (say, 15+ years) has several thousand votes, and has a rating of 7+, it’s probably worth a watch. If a movie has settled into the top 250, it’s almost certainly worth a watch.
