I've been using tmdb out of spite since they brought this shitty change in. Less reviews, but I can be the change I want to see, and submit reviews here myself
https://www.themoviedb.org/
I deleted my decades old IMDb account recently and migrated here. Meager protest against Amazon, I know, but tmdb is definitely good enough. Don't miss a thang.
Isn't tmdb prone to the same enshittification if it gets enough traction?
As is everything that isnt open source
Just checked for 2 minutes and immediately noticed clearly astroturfed fake and AI reviews.
Also https://thetvdb.com/
see also Letterboxd for just reviews
I dunno, man. Letterboxd is the movie version of goodreads. It's not a reliable place to find good movies in my opinion. Can be, if you follow reviewers whose opinions you trust, but personally, I only use Letterboxd to catalogue movies I have seen. If I read reviews, it's mostly for shits and giggles as most of them are shitpostings anyways.
i've found goodreads alright
