IMDb: The biggest, best, most award-winning movie site on the planet.
IMDb (www.imdb.com) has a 1.6 out of 5 rating on OK.one, based on 100 user reviews collected here. It is listed under Hobbies & Crafts and its reputation is poor. 77% of reviews are 1 star, a relatively high share; The business has not yet replied to negative reviews; Reviews mostly discuss Product, User experience. Last updated 2026-08-12.
Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently complained that their written movie contributions were unfairly censored, deleted without any warning, or declined without clear explanations. Consumers also noted that the website struggles heavily with fake ratings, cluttered navigation pages, and difficult account login access issues. Visitors feel that expressing honest opinions about shows or actors has become virtually impossible due to strict moderation rules. The minority of people were satisfied with the platform's core features and long-standing utility for traditional film enthusiasts. Some users shared that the site remains a handy place for discovering movie information, checking current ratings, and keeping personal watchlists.
Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.I have wasted loads of my time carefully reviewing over 40 films on IMDb and as far as I can see NONE of them have ever been published. The reviews have often been very positive and occasionally negative but NONE of them are ever seen! Don't waste your time with this self-important site!
They delete reviews and manipulate ratings. For example Rings of power and the Odyssey have had tons of negative reviews removed in order to artificially inflate the score They are not trustworthy in the slightest
I visited the imdb.com website and got an e-mail within a few minutes saying "Welcome to IMDb, an Amazon company." They automatically created some kind of account and are sending me e-mails WITHOUT MY CONSENT. And OF COURSE there is no way to opt out because to do that you have to log in, and I don't have an account. Or maybe I do...but I can't access it. So they can send me their spammy junk e-mails forever and I can't do anything about. I HATE deceptive practices like this.
IMDb website is cluttered with FAQs and links that redirect to 404 error pages. They make contacting them extremely difficult, once you do get to an email, their response are curt and the extent of their support is to redirect back to a link page in one of their cluttered unhelpful web pages. They refused to give access to Title Scorecard to me as a representative of a production company that I own, even though I met the qualifications in their FAQ. When I asked what the reason was - this person - whom I wasn't previously communicating with decided to respond: This is Akechi from IMDb support. We apologize that we cannot approve this request at this time. Access to this service is determined by our internal eligibility criteria, which cannot be disclosed as part of our assessment policies. The decision stands as communicated. Got it, so we can meet the criteria and whether or not a person "feels like" giving access is so based on mystery criteria. I also mentioned several times, they have 404 error messages through their site that needs to be address, they ignored that message, every single time. If zero stars was an option for webpage clarity and customer service, I would give it. As a person in entertainment, I wish we had another reputable platform besides IMDb.
Wrote two reviews and both were declined for not meeting 'guidelines', whatever that means! No reason given and no idea why. Presumably Amazon are censoring bad reviews of films that are on their platform. Waste of time contributing but also a waste of time trusting this website for impartial reviews
Started using them 10 years ago and sadly this site has declined in quality.
You now need an account to read reviews. Site is garbage now.
For a long time (if not for ever), the ratings are far to often completely unbelievable: Series and movies that are FAR from good are far to often terribly overrated! On top of far to often having unrealistic positive ratings for bad series and shows, IMDb now demands that you have an account and log in just to READ others reviews!!! IMDb claims that it is to prevent false reviews, but HOW ON EARTH can blocking READING others reviews prevent false reviews?! The REAL reason is rather that IMDb wants to pressure logged of/unregistered users to log on/create an account, and thereby track users and gain access to more data that they can harvest about their users, and thereby misuse the tracking and information to profile the users for targeted advertising!!!
Bad people, liars and above all working with false documents. Pay attention
Checking out the seasons of tv shows is the pits, used to be easy to navigate, and at a glance. Now there are these stupid tabs. Idiot techs.
To need an account to see other people's reviews, and to reject reviews just because they don't adhere to some made-up rules..? Yeah, I promise you all of the movies are overrated because they inflate the reviews, it's ridiculous.
absolute scam, charge you without notice, I found out = without ever using my page - they charged me last year and this year for 1 year membership that I never ever used. Be careful! Scammers! Horrible business practice, should be banned and fined. SHAME ON YOU!
in order to prevent bots you cannot read user reviews !!!!! please make it make any sense
Just visited IMDb for the first time in a long time. I had previously deleted my account due to how bad the site has become since Amazon bought it. After simply viewing one page I get an email saying thanks for joining. I go back to imdb and sure enough I'm "logged in" and they have my full name and email... The account shows created today, and I can't even delete it without confirming through an email. Nah, forget that. Blocked. I double checked the associated gmail, and google shows no connection, so I can't help but assume they are taking your data from Amazon and creating an account without asking permission.
IMDb propaganda journalism and censorship is disgusting me and has been doing so for years. They once were the website I visited for movie reviews but now they are just garbage sellouts. Stay far away if you want factual unbiased reviews free of corruption and agendas.
I used to read IMDB and leave the odd review. Little did I know (until I checked) that out of 16 reviews I posted, only 4 were 'accepted'. I didn't swear, I didn't libel, I didn't say anything that other posters had not already said. I just have issues with *historical characters* being gender or race swapped for no apparent reason, and of course with 100 lb 5'2" girls beating the crap out of 6'4" special forces types. Reading other posted reviews, I'm not alone in being annoyed by either of those things...but for some reason my posts are not allowed. I can only assume one thing here, then: that IMDB is *deliberately* skewing the ratings of these shows and movies by limiting the number of negative reviews allowed after a certain number. And for the simplest of reasons: money. I won't be back. Censorship is appalling to me no matter what the reason. So clearly
Such obviously fake reviews on nearly every new release. The review score always plummets fairly quickly when the real reviews start coming in. Now you are not even allowed to view their fake reviews without making an account. I can understand that you require an account to write a review but just to view them!? At least this is the push I needed to find another review site I guess. Always a silver lining!
Blatant censorship, unreliable ratings, fake reviews, terrible app.
Absolutely a dreadful website. THE WORST I have ever come across. It used to be my go to favourite place to look at customer reviews. Now it's impossible to even access. Amazon password nope they couldn't accept that. Google password. NOPE couldn't accept that. They I ruined this company. Congratulations. I will never use this pathetic, rubbish site, again. You will probably try to have Trustpilot take it down. Bye, IMBd don't let the door slam on your wallet on your way out.
Getting worse every year, every month. Fake reviews, fake ratings without logic, site/navigations, futures are getting worse by time
