Quickly glance over what remains and see if you can find something that sounds like it was written by someone of intelligence and integrity. Not always possible to find one of these good reviews, but the game is to try.
A good idea also for those who don't trust the bulk of the reviews is to follow some you trust their opinions on, and it filters those reviews are always seen first and at top. This is what I do.
