IMDbReviews 109

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 :)
