There is terrible censorship on this platform

There is terrible censorship on this website. Forget about freedom of speech. When I laughed at their stupid rule of minimum of X characters per review quoting Shakespeare "Brevity is the soul of wit", rest assured they never published that review. They never published any of my reviews. I think Mr Musk would do a lot of good for all of us cinema lovers if he takes control of this website from Mr Bezos, restores freedom of speech and abolishes ridiculous rules.

It should be an impartial review site but instead it is a dishonest site that favors big companies and TV series. If you sign up and give an uncritical review of a TV series or a film they will delete your review as happened to me after criticizing the latest Star Trek TV series and after receiving so many Likes they deleted my review for no reason and without any warning, it is a dishonest site to avoid!

Cancelling a subscription

I have been trying to cancel my subscription. There is no phone number, there is not an email that will accept my cancellation, they say to go follow the prompts and it says I will not get cancelled until January of 2027. They have tried to charge my credit card 3 times but I put a stop on their account. I see the reviews have hit rock bottom....what the heck is going on?

IMDB/Amazon - as fake as they come

Clearly, IMDB (sadly bought by Amazon) and free speech don't go well together - no one is really surprised if we look at the highly fake positively skewed reviews on Amazon.com. IMDB does not publish reviews in which you criticize the delusional woke scripts of Amazon Studios. I used to have Amazon Prime and I could not suffer through most of their shows even if they paid me dearly. I feel sorry for the excellent actors that have to endure through their "scripts". The IMDB rating has lost its relevance, just like the politically correct Oscars.

Here’s the thing, IMDb — I don’t trust you anymore.

Your moral backbone is gone. You remove reviews, adjust scores, and curate narratives at the whim of big companies, while pretending it’s all in the name of “fairness.” On the other side, you’ve got people review-bombing in protest. The result? A platform where nothing can be taken seriously anymore.
You can claim you’re “stuck in the middle,” but you’re not. Your own actions created this mess. You didn’t preserve neutrality — you dismantled it. And now everyone can see it.
IMDb is no longer a reliable database of films and honest audience opinion. It’s become a forum battleground … a political slap-fight between left wing and right wing activists, with films used as ammunition. While the one upmanship continues … the movies are just collateral damage.
Sincerely, I don’t respect your scoring system anymore. I don’t trust your reviews, your numbers, or your so-called moderation. You had credibility once. You threw it away.

Worst website for reviews/info

Ever wanted a website that accurately tells you what the show is about? Unibased reviews? A system without botting and awful maths? Well forget IMDB, this website offers none of that, you cant trust anything on this website and the few synopsis & reviews that are legit arent really that good and other websites do a lot better.

overtaken by fake reviews

The site is obviously unable to control fake reviews and fake interactions in general that it basically looses any value whatsoever. It also aggressively filters out any critical review in periods just after the release of a product. I understand the site wants to prevent review bombing but in the absence of proper user verification and vetting based on patterns, it results in completely distorted pictures regarding many products that are rated at least 2 or 3 stars (out of 10) above their real value. Right now, I would recommend to be very careful when considering positive review posted on this site and I sincerely hope that IMDb does something to combat fake reviews, particularly from newly created accounts or dormant accounts that are just used to manipulate the opinion of viewers.

IMDB is a misleading and flawed company only out for ad profits

While using the IMDB app selected Regal Theaters and saw tickets for Hamnet movie for Dec 8, 2024. Then 3 days later received an email informing me they are refunding me for these tickets. I had never heard of them before and still have no sense of why a link was imbedded in IMDB. However, this seems odd and misleading to sell and then cancel a movie ticket. Something does not seem right with this and therefore this review. I no longer trust both companies as I went to Regal to purchase tickets and was delighted with no extra fees like Atom charged me ($4.38). Thankfully I did receive a full refund from Atom but will never use them since I can’t trust anything they say they do. Same with IMDB - not a valid reason to even cohost Atom if they were involved with this cancellation

usual friday routine we have

on friday me and my close firnds gather in my apartment to watch a movie...
we vary from horro to drama, and of course no one wants to ruin friday night with some low quality movie, therefore we carefully check the rating on the website, and most of the time the rating matches with the content quality....
but it is not always so, some movies have low scores...why?
