Rotten Tomatoes to help but, for example:

IMDB rating was about 7.4 and Rotten Tomatoes was about 86% for John Wick

John Wick III was rated higher.

The ratings do not come close to my impression of how bad those movies are.

Without looking it up, Shawshank Redemption had the same 90% Rotten Tomatoes rating that John Wick III did from the critics - something like that. To me, they're incomparable. IMDB was 9.3 for Shawshank vs 7.4 for John Wick - that's a little better but too high for John Wink in my opinion.
