“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.

Here is the site I frequently visit to check on reviews of new movies as well as search for old movies. Design is pretty much shady but it makes up for its content. IMDB.com has a huge database for movies. I personally like reading the "did you know" part specially the trivia and the spoofs. I love the spoofs! I would even watch the movie again just to check.:)

Another thing that I like is getting all the movies of a particular actor when you click his name. This is nicely done.

The only downside for me is that the ratings are not that credible. I would watch a movie with a rating of 7 and yet would not like it. Then again, might just be not my kind of taste. :)

I love this website so much. I've been a member since 2005. If you need to know who's the hottie on a crappy movie that you couldn't even remember the name, you should check IMDB. They have all kinds of movie listed, from B-movies to foreign movies & asian drama. Not only actors & actresses, but the important crews are also listed. But the downside is the message board. IMDB message boards is a breeding ground for trolls. It's quite hard to maintain an intelligent conversation because of the constant trolling from pitiful members and lazy board admins. I wish IMDB would upgrade the board administrators to be more competent in controlling the message boards.

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.

IMDB is a great site with lots of info and it's connected to Amazon and they rock too. It's been around forever and I've been a member for almost 14 years. Someday I'll have an IMDB page when I finally get all the fame I deserve.

The message boards are not in moderation; they have bots, spammers and attention whores crawling on the most popular shows, movies and games and end up with a flood of unnecessary topics. Most message board users are white Anglo-Saxon protestants, anti-Semites and Islamophobics from ages 14 to 16. Jeff Bezos needs to take a look on IMDB's moderation lately. None of IMDB's moderators are taking actions against them. They're very unprofessional. I think this site needs a complete shut down and send Col Needham to court. This may be a good place to look at user reviews, but the message boards are indeed the complete mess. I would not recommend it if you're going to talk to somebody at their message boards. The dumb kids at IMDB think they know movies, but they really don't. I know how to deal with movies since I experienced multimedia in college. If I were you, I would try going on Metacritic for the user reviews. If not, then Rotten Tomatoes may be your last resort.

I went to this site to write a review and was rebuffed and told by computer that i could not shout in my review (WHAT!) and the entire paragraph was not long enough, granted I have not bothered to write a review in a while (most movies today are not worth it) but IMdb is going way of Amazon (TO FAR!) with the censoring bit. I told them were to get off and posted my review on U TUBE, so there

I use this one often to decide whether I want to watch a particular movie or not. The only problem for me is that some movies have ratings much bigger than they got in fact.

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

The sad thing is that such sites are getting worse lately in terms of discussing the movies and trusting the reviews. Still good to find some new shows to watch.

I love IMDB. It is a very informative site whether you're looking for information of actors and actresses or movies and TV Shows. You can find plots reviews for movies and TV shows, you can find filmography for your favorite actors and actresses, you can find your favorite quotes from your favorite movies and TV shows, you can find out when a movie you are looking forward to is coming out in theaters, and so much more. On top of all that you can rate movies and add your own review of your favorite or not so favorite movies.

An outstanding resource to read reviews on every movie you are interested in! However lately there are many cases of fabricated reviews - but those seem to be moderated.

An amazing site. I love everything about it. The episode guides, the trailers, and most of all the upcoming movie section is great. Gives you an exact date and the spoiler alerts are limited.

IMDb and Wikipedia are *the* go to places for learning about movies. I love how you can keep as many lists as you like of not only movies but actors. Just like Spotify helps me keep track of music I like, imdb.com, or the Internet Movie Database, helps me organize the movies I've seen into lists. The interface is pretty clean and uncluttered but most importantly has remained consistent. The biggest problem is user-created lists with ugly ID number URLs.

I do wish they would go to the next level with the site's social networking features. At the very least they should let you 'friend' other members and allow more comprehensive member profiles with clean URLs that make them easy to share and SEO friendly. Optimally I'd like to see more of a full-blown social network for movie lovers. It would also incentivize and therefore explode web 2.0-style content development if, since IMDb is owned by Amazon.com anyway, members received a commission for any purchases that were made through their content, whether that be a movie review (each review by each author should have its very own clean URL), a list, or the member's profile page.

A place to search for movie reviews if you`re hesitating whether to watch or not. Can have some "paid" ratings, but is good in overall.
