I find rottentomatos totally useless for movie reviews. They seem to hate almost everything. I prefer to read the Amazon reviews and glean what I want.
In general, academics seem to enjoy books that most people don't. As such, I'm not sure what value their opinion is to the majority. Throw egoism into the mix and you may as well dismiss the literary snobocracy as irrelevant. Ultimately it's elitist, exclusive and self-reinforcing.
