“IMDb - The Ultimate Movie Buff's Companion”

One-stop shop for all things movies and TV shows? Look no further than IMDb! This platform has it all, from ratings and reviews to cast and crew information, trailers, and more. Whether you're a casual viewer or a die-hard fan, IMDb has something for everyone. IMDb solves the problem of having to scour the internet for information about movies and TV shows. With everything in one place, it's easy to find what you're looking for quickly and efficiently. Plus, the user reviews and ratings help you make informed decisions about what to watch next. Great free resource to use when you need details on a movie or TV show quickly. While IMDb is a great resource, it's not without its flaws. The search function can be a bit finicky at times, and some of the user reviews can be unreliable. However, these are minor issues that don't detract from the overall usefulness of the platform. Overall, IMDb is a must-have tool for any movie or TV show lover. Its vast library of information and user-friendly interface makes it a breeze to use

“I don't understand!”

Meg K.
9/14/23

I wrote a fun review for an episode of "Law & Order: SVU", and I gave it ten stars. My review was rejected. I have no clue why, and they wouldn't tell me. The review had no offensive language or anything questionable. The rejection of my review made me feel bad about myself, as if I'd been reprimanded for misbehaving; and it made me feel as if I was doing something wrong by trying to share my unique, quirky opinion with the world. I got upset and deleted my account with them. If they don't want me around, that's fine. But it's probably not good for business.

IMDB, an Amazon owned site, does not accurately or realistically reflect the opinions of it's users. Reviews are 'moderated'. That means if they're unflattering because they point out radical left propaganda inside of supposed entertainments, they will be censored. Similarly, the low scoring of companies paying Amazon for promotion on the site (e.g. Disney), will not objectively represent the scoring of the audience. It's all skewed to create a positive impression in the name of marketing.

I think IMDb is a great site for all movie's info, and not just for movies, for Tv shows as well. You can find everything that you need about some actor in matter of seconds, which really helped me to choose what to watch next. One more thing that I really like is that they provide you with trailer's as well, so that make my life much easier!

When a site decides to delete reviews wholesale it is not a reliable site. Case in point, there are no reviews below 6 on the site for 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'. There is absolutely NO CHANCE that this is even remotely possible. The show is produced by Amazon which owns this website. That should tell you all you need to know.

Tip for consumers:
If you want user reviews IMDb.com is not a reliable place to find them.

Products used:
IMDb.com is a free site. No products are sold.

With the streaming service recommendations, nice to go here and see if the suggestion is a junk garbage movie or tv show or not. On movies I've watched, I decide on a score before going to the site and have found my opinion matches the average on most. Great tool. Now they have a streaming tv/movie channel. Watching Dead Like Me on it.

Tip for consumers:
Once you sign up, rate as many of your favorite movies as you can (no word reviews necessary, just stars) and it will start to suggest "if you liked this, you'll like that..."

Products used:
The movie rating and suggestions as well as when I found an actor I liked, finding their other shows. Ricky Garvis from "after Life" is a perfect example.

There has not been a better site than IMDb for movie and series listing. No, don't mention Rotten Tomato, cause the ratings of that site are $#*!, 'Black Panther is the top movie of all time? Like get lost.
I also like how IMDb moderates every information submission, review, and such. It protects the site from false data entry.
But the user profile feature definitely needs some upgrades. There should be a separate bar for just the profile of the user.
By the way, I love the top 250 lists.

PS: The new update of the IMDb page is $#*!.

On top of rating manipulations, reviews are heavily censored in favor of woke identity politics, which is prevalent in most modern films.

Awesome. For those who know the facts true life is better than fiction, RBG and her husband were a formidable team and their family and professional life and frustrations was realistically portrayed. Bravo to the acting cast and the producers. Need to produce more true stories of this caliberintelligent, humanistic, honest portrayal. I'm now an RBG fan!

This site is heavily manipulated by the staff. They will not allow critical reviews of some movies/shows. I suspect they have some financial interest in these cases. They also censor anyone with a conservative view point and anyone that criticizes wokeness. You can literally test this yourself by posting two reviews of the same movie (one critical and one supportive). The supportive one will be published almost immediately while the negative one will never be published. Bottom line, you can't trust this site as they are dirty.

I'm the most censored person on IMDb.

I was probably why IMDb has become so bad. I often spoke my mind honestly. Now my reviews get censored before they are posted.
I wrote a critical and pg review about the Eternal movie and it still has not posted.

Tip for consumers:
Only betas and simps are allowed on IMDb nowadays. If you are one you'll not be censored.

Great website, very useful and informative. I always trust IMDB and check the movie's ratings before I watch it. IMDB has great movie listings and suggestions as well as short biographies of actors, movie directors and so on. Everything you need in one place. Again, great website for movie lovers :)

But now every so called "improvement" makes it harder to navigate.
It just needs to go back to the simplicity of how it was before.

I was once an active member of Mandy but I listened to some advice from others and signed on with a rival site for production work. I have not worked and only paid fees in a space where nobody knew me and i couldn't get help. Hence, I have returned to Mandy where I was active when I was actively working on films and television series in New York. Although I am based in Los Angeles these days, my past positive experiences with Mandy and associates using the site gives me hope for brighter days ahead. Of course the slow down in work was partially due to covid, but we are back up and running now and I aim to work.

Not professional! They don't care if they are truthful or not. And don't care to fix the lies they post. Don't trust them!

Be careful. Not truthful

IMDB pretty much has everything you need to know about movies, tv shows, actors and any kind of related news. The community is great too with reviews and movie lists which make it a breeze to pick out a good movie to watch.

This is generally the best site for finding info about both movies and TV shows, but with some inconsistencies. Although foreign films are there to be found, the plot and cast info can be less informative than for US-made films. Some older short films aren't there at all, but that might not worry too many people.

One of the best websites related to movies and TV shows. Very informative and well updated. Ratings and reviews are very accurate and reasoned. If I want to know something about the movie, I always go to IMDB first.

IMDB takes way too long to go to my account settings. It was well over thirty minutes and the site never loaded. For an Amazon owned website, this is completely unacceptable.

I always use the app as my go-to if undecided on a film. However like a lot of user -based review sites it's a platform for the disease known as "review bombing", often by people who've not even watched the film but got told to by Twitter lol. Ignore any review 10/10 and 1/10 and look for more balanced views which sit on between 3/10 to 8/10. It still takes a bit longer and needs reading but you'll find enough objective views. The level of customisation, library of info, lists and features is superior to Rotten tomatoes, although that can be a negative too as usability and navigation is better on RT. However the review panel for RT do seem to getting out of touch with everyday folks, particular with just plain old fun, creative escapism type films that you can sit and enjoy them with the kids on a Sunday afternoon. This is often evident in the wide score margins between critic and user review!

Products used:
None. The app is free.

This website is filled with so much promotional material that it is unusable. There are positive reviews of films and programs before they are released. Bigoted comments are seen in some reviews and they are not removed.
