I generally watch 7 and above movies only, except for horror which tends to be rated lower. For that I watch 6 and above. So maybe you should watch horror from 5.5 and above based on your general rating (if you like horror that is)?
I watched the entire “Kissing Booth” trilogy with a friend recently. They’re cute teen rom-coms and I enjoyed all of the movies and characters. The writing is corny, but it seemed to intentionally have a kind of theater club vibe to me. I kept thinking the cast must have had a lot of fun.
Should it be rated higher? No idea. I think ratings are stupid tbh.

I totally agree when it comes to what a single person rates it as (single critic reviews etc). However, when reviews are added together, it gives a idea on what the general public thinks about it. That does not mean you have to agree.
I remember when The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas was released, it was slaughtered by critics, but the general public loved it.
Maybe if those ratings came from a movie theater exit poll, then I’d agree. Instead it’s like most other self reported ratings online. Essentially no one enters their rating except for: the people who really liked it, people who really didn’t like it, wannabe critics, weirdos who like to spend their time rating things despite never having seen them, and bots. The vast majority of people don’t rate movies because they don’t care enough. In my opinion ratings are just easily manipulated data that often exists just to reinforce conformity of opinion.
If you look at the ratings for the first “Kissing Booth” movie, there’s tons of reviews that essentially say the lead actress wasn’t hot enough. Then you consider that despite the first movie being rated terribly, the company thought it was actually well enough received for them to make two more movies.
The Story of Ricky
I really really like the The Last Airbender movie, the M. Night Shymalan one. It's one of my favorites, unironically, and I think it has a far worst reputation than it deserves.
I also think objectively the visuals are incredible even if you think the story and characters are trash.
