Is it really true that most of the mft lenses are shiet or is there another reasons why lenses other reviewers love, photozone thinks are just kinda ok?

Well, I guess there are two things you should be aware of. First, we use the full rating scale in our reviews, so if a lens is average, it will receive a corresponding rating here, while other review sites may rate average lenses much higher on their scale (because they probably don't really use their full scale, especially the bottom end).
In additition, please keep in mind that we do lab tests, so focus on the technical quality of a lens. Which is more or less the counterpart to "field reviews", which sort of are the other end of the range of reviews available out there.
There is no "right" or "wrong" recommendation which kind of reviews to prefer. Different kinds of reviews (and points of view) are publicly available and it more or less depends on you and your priorities concering lens quality, which approach to lens testing you prefer. Or suits your shooting needs better.
