Painfully slow IMDB used to be a useful site for looking up a TV show or a film, finding out who was in it, and reading the reviews. But now, the site is so ridiculously slow to load that it's virtually unusable, either on my phone or on my laptop. It's clogged up with ads and pop-ups and often just freezes up.

Communist and Biased It is ok for movies to spew a political agenda, but God forbid if you call them out in your reviews. My review was clean with no bad words etc, but apparently IMDb is communist/biased and will not publish your review if they don't agree with it. No free speech at IMBd. Just shady...and why don't they have a direct email address to contact them?

No longer trustworthy They used to be well known and respected, now it’s a complete joke and heresy. Some users even put in literal nonexistent media to even possibly illegal material which is really stupid. And I see that some reviewers parrot one another instead of putting their comments in their own words!

Some IMDB votes are more equal than others I would suggest IMDB ratings are fraudulent. We watched (tried to watch) "Smothered", a massively pc, modern and of course hugely UNfunny comedy on Sky Comedy. I went on IMDB, reviewed it and gave it ONE star. Since then, I've checked and mine is the only user rating there. But, the IMDB summary is 7.1 stars! Apparently they use something called "weighted average" which in plain terms means some votes are more equal than others. I will take absolutely no notice of their ratings in future.

Don’t trust parental guide. I am never trusting their parents guides. They’ll say a show is mild on sxual content (Alice In Borderlands) but there is an extremely disturbing scene in episode 6 and a sx scene in season 2.
