“IMDb is indispensable, there's no question about it,...”

Marilyn F.
6/4/10

IMDb is indispensable, there's no question about it, but it's not very complete. Adding or correcting information can be a real bother, so I've stopped trying. Nonetheless, I get the largest amount of traffic to my film blog from IMDb, so it's been a personal help to me. And, yes, it's kind of a mess.

Top Critical Review

“Woke Censorship Dominates”

John J.
6/22/22

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.

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 $#*!.

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!

Every time I want to know about a movie or performer I turn to IMDB. It has a very large and complete database of just about everything Holly Wood. There is even trivia and little nuggets of information you might not get elsewhere. Best of all, this wonderful service is free!

The single best database on movies - Ever want to win that Kevin Bacon game where you get from one random actor to Kevin Bacon by naming movies that connect various other actors? The Internet Movie Database is the best place to study up for that one. You can search any person who has ever worked on any movie, see what other movies they've been in, look at some pictures, watch some trailers, read some bios, etc. Any data point you might want, you can get it here. A great place to go if you ever need to figure out where you have seen a certain actor before...

You can never always rely on the word of a friend when it comes to recommending movies to watch. Plus, I don't like trailers because they kind of spoil some parts of the movie. IMDb allows users to identify latest and upcoming movies. The viewer ratings are quite accurate as i have never been disappointed. I highly recommend IMDb.

This site is a leader among the others for me. It always helps me to look for some great movies by means of their authentic film-ranking. The reviews are also very informative and sometimes enforce you to see the other side of the film, which you even haven't thought about.

Which website do you visit if you would like gain information about movies? I am sure that many of you would be fans of imdb.com, just like me. This internet movie database is the perfect source of information for movies, television shows, and celebrities. I make sure that I refer to the user reviews here before I watch or download a movie. This helps me save my precious time. I have created an account in this website to manage my own lists. After watching a movie, I post my ratings and reviews on the site to help other members.

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.

Good site for looking to see whether films are any good or not. You need to get s "feel" for what the scores mean though; around 6 is generally a pretty poor film, 7+ generally alright... You can tell it's going to be a real stinker if the score is near 3 though!

Def the best site for getting all kinds of really good info about movies and actors. I also really like how you can just like look up an actor or actress, see EVERYTHING that they have starred in, and really get a good idea of their history and roles and stuff. It's just a lot of information available, plus good recommendations and ratings. Working my thru the top 100 too!

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 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.

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 :)

You can choose there which of the new films is the most interesting for you. They have also apps for mobile phones, Windows Phone 7, iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle Fire.

This site is one of the best sites ever. If ever I am stuck on figuring on which movie an actor was in or when, this site normally has the answer. It is such a great tool and I visit it often and definitely refer people it, when they need to find an answer on a celebrity as well.

Here I usually look up information on actors and characters about movies and TV shows. It list almost all the actors that played as the characters, plus descriptions about a movie or show. Also, they have actor pages a well. That's about it.

Tip for consumers:
I find everything movies here. Use anytime you'd like.

I love IMDB because I get to rate films and see what others think on the films I like. I think that they have a lot of cool info like what the actors are in the process of doing, quotes, weird trivia. I do LOVE the site because I LOVE movies, but there are some issues like the set up needs to be streamlined. The front page of the films just looks like a mess. A designer needs to come in and design them to be easier. I use Yahoo movies to look at films sometimes and their information (not as extensive) is easy to read. Who the director is, the actors, when it was made... how long the film is. Simple to spot. Also the forum is archaic. It needs a better look.

They have all the right ingredients, they just don't have the look down. When they get that down they'll be far too awesome to defeat... ever. Almost like Google.

I would give it 3.5 stars - but since they deleted the message boards its just not as fun.
I really enjoyed discussing movies on there with lucid people.
However, i think they had to take it down due to the number of asinine and/or crude remarks so often made on comment boards by senseless idiots.

What I most enjoy about IMDB is if you eveb just know part of the name of a movie, you'll probably be able to find it. If you like a particular actor, or director, or music artist, you can look them and see every movie or TV appearance they've done and then you can cross reference and find all sorts of movies you never knew existed!
I also enjoy looking up actors from the 30s thru 70's.

I also enjoy reading trivia and comments, amd movie trivia.

This is a great place to find a movie title from around the world complete with director and cast. You can read reviews from users and find showtimes for currently playing films in theaters near you. You may even write your own reviews and give ratings to your favorite movies and television programs.

It used to be much better when they had a forum where users could ask questions about any movie. If you had a burning question or were trying to track down a forgotten title, someone out there had an answer. It's sad that IMDb removed this feature because of abuse.

This site has helped me with literally everything I have needed to know about any movie I'm watching. I like the extras they give for most of the movies as well, especially the trivia and the goofs sections. It's a must for anyone watching any movie.

I'm a movie buff so I love this site.

I find it so distracting when you are watching a movie and cannot remember where that actor is from!... so I search the movie on this site, look at the list of characters/actors, click on the actor I recognize then look at their acting history. (it's fun to see the acting history of a-list actors-- it may surprise you!)

I love looking at all the "famous quotes" from the movies I love too. For a good laugh :)

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.

For the fan of movies, this is probably the best site on the internet. Reviews are fair and are not influenced by advertisements and other elements that can tilt a review towards a particular movie. Lots and lots of info on this site. Is has a free version and a pro version. Pro version obviously has more features. Well worth the membership fee.
