a man walking towards a door with a large question mark

Star-Stuck

adj.
exhausted by endless reviews and secondhand impressions; itching to stumble blindly into the world and make some mistakes, to wander around opening doors to restaurants and performances and movies you’ve never heard of, without the slightest idea of what to expect.

From star, a standard rating unit of reviews + stuck.
