Recommendations: Show next to the rating how likely I am to enjoy an unseen movie

Situation: the movie theater is showing a movie with a good rating. However, a good rating does not mean I will like it because I have my personal tastes (I generally do not like popular movies).
It would be great if in the page of a movie, maybe next the star with "Rate This", you could show your estimate of my vote (or something like "You are 80% likely to enjoy this movie") for that particular movie. 

Example: I search Dunkirk. Wow, rating 8.6, but hey it is a new movie (surely overrated) and maybe I will be disappointed (because I rated Save Private Ryan 5). So show me "You are 40% likely to enjoy this movie" or "Your estimated rating for this movie is 5.5")

Hi Alessandro,

The IMDb rating of 8.6/10 for Dunkirk (2017) is one of many indicators for a film title. It simply means that on average rating the 105,844 people who rated is 8.6. This rating cannot conclusively tell you whether or not you will like the film.

If you click on the number of votes, 105,844, you will see the ratings page:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5013056/ratings

The ratings page breaks out votes by gender and age demographics.

The metascore of 94 along with the associated reviews can also be helpful in determining whether you would enjoy the film.

You can also look as the reviews from 781 user | 377 critic.

Thank you, that is useful. It is great to be able to see the distribution percentage by vote (bimodal distributions are less good) and the vote by Non-US voters. 
Still iit would be cool to see the feature I described, and it could be shown in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5013056/ratings

Alessandro,

A user guide would be useful.
