For me the critic score is a 'is this valuable as a cultural enrichment of movies' vs 'do people like it'.
What you do with information is than your decision.
Best case you know and trust your critics because you align to a certain degree with their experience and movie taste.
For example "now you see me" is a shit movie. Magic in a movie doesn't work and the main hidden character basically breaks the whole movie but apparently the audience loved it.
Whenever I see a documentation asking people about this than it's the money.
One guy makes now 2k after tax by working for a small wine seller.
He was head of the bar for over 10 years and made LESS before!
And not having any stable schedule.
Same with bakers: the good one came up with a strategy to do much less work at night and is able to find people the other one didn't change a thing.
Also in Germany it's quite common to become an engineer (metal etc) and software is still very abstract for a lot of people.
The deindustrialization thing is independent of this I think and correlates more to Germany not having any real greener resources besides coal.
There were company owner interviewed who just complained about how instable the energy is but instead of investing anything and doing something about it he prefers to create a new company location in Sweden. Which is actually not bad in my opinion we don't need to have every industry in Germany just to have it.
Germany is a dense country. And in Sachsen there is space but not much Industrie and a lot of Nazis (you know poorer and less educated people who are right wing) and I don't want to move there either.
Start learning what is already here (so much) learn to use it, learn to fine-tune it and if you then still not busy enough: learn to really understand ai architecture.
