Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: IMDb offers a very broad, regularly updated database for movie and TV information, including release details, episode updates, reviews, ratings, lists, and community rankings. Users appreciate its coverage and generally accessible interface, but several find the layout dated or cluttered and searching difficult, especially for recommendations and advanced keyword, content, and rating filters. Some also view IMDb as more of a reference database than a social or journaling platform.

I can find information on almost any movie or TV show out there.

Good for finding information, but bad for journaling, rating, and reviewing.

It's not a social platform, it's just a database.

It quite vast but that raise up more issues while searching for recommendation.

  • Search by keywords is there but it has no logic (It has include and No exclude for keywords)
  • It has filter for 18+ title text and trailers but nothing for photos and movies itself (search with license/grading is difficult)

If any alternative that provide advanced search with keywords? I probably move to.

Too much unnecessary information for every title. It's hard to find what to watch.

I love being able to search, rate, add reviews, and create lists of my favorite movies. I also like to follow the updates of the "Top 250 films" created each year by the community.
