How to assess if a bank is good or not?

Hi fellow monkeys, I am new to this forum and I was just curious about how do you tell if a bank is good or bad? So for example, it seems that there are some people trashing rbc on this forum but from what I read about league tables, it seems the bank's doing pretty well. Thanks for all your insights!
