IMDb

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.

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.

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.

It's not perfect and most bios and several movies are missing a ton of info but it's main usage is to check who played what character, least that's what I use it for. So as long as the crew list is updated, I'm happy. Don't believe it has a very big staff, think it's mostly run like Wikipedia, so you get what you pay for.

I just posted a review of "Elvis" last week. I think, for the first time ever, I had the majority of readers agree with it and it was getting popular. I logged into IMDB only to find my review was totally removed. There was nothing controversial about it, nothing remotely offensive, I simply described why I did not like the movie. IMDB made it disappear. I won't be surprised if they make my "Prey" review disappear too.

I mean, this is a movie review site. The minute you start making reviews disappear because you didn't agree with them is the minute your site loses any and all credibility. Simply put, you cannot trust this site anymore. It's not what it used to be. There are plenty of uncensored social media sites we are allowed to express our views on, so good luck with this strategy guys.

I have been using the site since the year began to review and rate movies, and while it is okay, it does have some problems. One of them being that if you share your opinion on a certain movie (especially if it's a new release), there is a high chance a lot of people will vote your review not helpful, especially if it is a movie they hate for a certain reason (like it's a live action remake of an animated film or it has a political message they don't like). Also, the site does have problems when uploading pictures. Best to steer clear of this one when it comes to posting movie reviews.

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 is great for entertainment industry related information on people, companies and projects. However I've noticed that people have been manipulating the site more and more lately. First started with the Starmeter. The Starmeter is IMDB's popularity contest. A great tool if some people didn't drive traffic to it to pump up their start power to look important. Another thing is the wrong use of work credits by stating that sites like Youtube and Vimeo are the distribution outlet for a project that is not relevant to the industry. IMDB needs better enforcement of this issue so people can't claim credits overnight that others work years to get.

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.

I have yet to find a website to replace this ill-designed resource for films. It's the first thing that I think to go to when I want to find out who was in what, or what film is that again? There's no easy way to cross-reference actors so winning that Kevin Bacon game takes more work than it should. Additionally, everything about the appearance and organization of IMDB is wrong. There is nothing else that I find useful about it, except that once I almost was able to obtain "MTV's 25 lamest" episode from another user. However that fell through and I continue my life-long search.

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've used IMDB for over ten years and I always used the message boards as a way to find answers on movies. IMDB has decided to remove the message boards deeming it pointless and that it adds nothing resourceful. I don't agree and many people don't either. Now that the website has gotten rid of the boards, it's impossible to discuss or find answers to movies, especially independent movies and lesser known movies.

Therefore, it makes this website a little less resourceful than it was before. It gives accurate information for movies. Other than that, people will no longer have reason to visit this website. The most you can do is look at movies, upcoming films and what actors are in what films. I'm sure with the message boards gone, IMDB has lost traffic. I'm really disappointed. I always thought IMDB would be the most popular and permanent solution to movie discussions with other people, but I guess not. FAQs for films are helpful, but not as helpful as the message boards were.

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.

A good site for information on movies, but members are a bit racist. It's a bit hard to see, but the site is a bit racist. Some of the best African American shows and movies get a low rating and even the worst movies get buried.

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.

This funny message is sent always to you when you are trying to edit any of your page information! ''Unfortunately we were unable to accept your submission as we were unable to verify the information provided''
But they are very much ABLE to accept your money without giving you any services

I notice something that call my attention's lately, i used to love IMDB but became totally unreliable with Votes. Some movies have a top REVIEW, but i cannot found positive reviews, so is likely managed by payments or arrangements by Studios?
Still is a good option for checking some Trailers.

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.

For five years now, I have been trying to delete a factually inaccurate title I uploaded to IMDb when I was 14 years old. The customer support is a joke, they do not listen to anything I have to say and constantly defend their illogical "policies". Letterbo xd and TMDb are much much better alternatives.

This site is poorly run and overpriced if you want to be listed. They have NO RELATIONSHIP with SAG-AFTRA and do not update or correct mistakes. It is as bad as Wikipedia when it comes to factual information and reliability.

I changed settings repeatedly for two weeks to rid my email box of childish spam. No luck, no help, no account. I closed the damned thing.

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.

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!
