Lately I've using letterboxd and it becomes my favorite.

I used to work with the mouth-breathingest of morons who had infallible taste in movies. If she hated it I put it on my watchlist.

Letterboxd, also.

I like looking up a movie I enjoy, and then I'll check out all the lists it's on to see what other folks group it with. There's more variety doing this on Letterboxd than on IMDB.

The movie ratings are kinda whatever. I've liked tons of 2 star average films and disliked lots of 4 star ones, so it's not really a reliable metric for me.

I only use letterboxd for my own personal tracking and watchlist type stuff. But it really bothers me that they littered the app with ads everywhere last yearish.

I don't use mobile app. I use it as a webapp in Firefox (actually is Mull browser) with ublock origin addon. It avoids all ads 👌🏻

I use letterboxd for everything but reviews (I never read them unless they are from friends), and I love it. The user experience is just great. The webapp is lightweight, looks cool but isn't cluttered or unnecessarily fancy. I'm provided the relevant information I care about right where I would expect it to be. I sound like a shill, but I enjoy their website a lot :D

Easier to keep track of everything they are wrong about and factor that in.

I remember when Batman v Superman had like a 9.2/10 on release on imdb... Yeah...

Also Amazon are known to manipulate ratings on their shows and movies. They were caught hiding every review under a 6/10 for their lord of the rings show on imdb.

That's true. I meant the review of users review. In IMDb you can rate if a user review is helpful or not. If the user review is mostly helpful, that means whatever rating the user has given might me more accurate. Doesn't always work, but I find it better than actual movie rating.
