Best Sites For Rating Movies: 6 Top Movie Review Websites

film reviewing websites

Our society has grown to worship movies. This can be seen in the sheer number of movies made each year, some good and some bad. Because there are so many to choose from, finding a good one can be a challenge.

Movies now make up a huge part of the entertainment industry. But with so many choices comes the problem of finding the best ones to watch.

It would take hours upon hours to watch every movie made in a year, and even then you’d likely miss some great ones. So how can we solve this problem?

The answer reviews. Reviews allow us to get an idea of whether or not others liked the movie before we decide if it’s worth watching ourselves.

BEST SITES FOR RATING MOVIES

What are movie review sites.

Movie review sites like IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Letterboxd are great places to find out what a movie is all about.

They can also be useful for finding out if your favorite actor has been in other movies you may have missed.

Movie review websites are one of the best ways to learn what critics think of a movie and how they feel about it.

The more information you can gather on a film, the better informed you’ll be when you decide whether to watch it or not.

Movie review sites don’t really have any effect on box office sales, but they can make a huge difference in determining what kind of an impact a movie will have on consumers.

A review helps us determine if others were entertained by a movie before we spend our time and money on it.

Picking a movie to watch can be hard. You have your mood to consider, the weather, and the amount of time you have available.

And who to see it with? But even after all that, one question remains — is it any good?

film reviewing websites

With sites like Letterboxd, the answer is now as easy as logging into your social media account.

The internet can be an overwhelming place when trying to find a good, reliable movie review site.

With so many sites out there, it’s hard to know which ones are actually worth your time.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the best movie review sites out there. Not everyone will be for everyone, but each reviewer has something unique to offer that makes it worth checking out.

Best Sites For Rating Movies

If you love the cinema, and you’re constantly looking for the best ways to keep up to date with what’s new and what’s upcoming, then one of these sites is going to be perfect for you.

Below, we’ve gone through some of the most popular movie websites on the internet today and reviewed them, so that you can find out which site is best for your film needs.

Let’s start off with my personal favorite!

Letterboxd is a social network for sharing your taste in film. Keep a watchlist of films you’d like to see, and create lists/collections on any topic. Rate, review, and tag films as you add them. Find and follow friends to see what they’re enjoying.

Keep a diary of your film viewing, check in to films at theaters, and share your thoughts with the world. Search a database of over 2 million films, with filters that can refine your results by anything from decade and genre to personal ratings and reviews.

film reviewing websites

From Letterboxd themselves: “We’re proud of our place in a burgeoning ecosystem of film-related apps and websites that complement Letterboxd’s focus on social sharing, curation, and discovery.

In that spirit, we offer a range of developer tools to help integrate Letterboxd data into other applications and websites — you can explore these on our developer site.”

My Letterboxd profile can be found here, btw: FilmLifestyle’s Letterboxd profile . Give me a follow!

Letterboxd

Originally a fan-operated website, the database is owned and operated by IMDb.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.

IMDb has approximately 4.7 million titles (including episodes) and 8.3 million personalities in its database,  as well as 83 million registered users.

IMDb stands out for its vast collection of film and television information. It’s not just a place for ratings; it’s a comprehensive resource for release dates, cast and crew details, trivia, and forums for discussion.

With user-contributed content and professional critic reviews, IMDb offers a balanced view of a film’s reception. Its integration with Amazon also allows for easy viewing options.

Best Sites For Rating Movies – Why Use Movie Review Sites?

Movie Review sites like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes , and Metacritic are helpful for many reasons.

First, they’re an excellent source for learning about the best films.

Second, it’s another great way to find out about movies that are just being released or will be released in the future.

And third, movie review sites have other useful information like trailers, showtimes and tickets, DVD release dates, and more.

There are a lot of fans who love talking about movies, and these movie review sites offer them a great place to do just that. You can find out what other people think of the movie you’re watching.

Here are the top 5 reasons to use movie review sites:

1. You want to discover new films, new genres, or new directors to check out.

2. You’re not sure exactly what you want to see, and you’re looking for movie recommendations.

3. You’re looking for a good way to kill time when you’re stuck in a waiting room.

4. You wonder why that movie was such a big deal when it came out.

5. You want to find out how the latest movies compare to the classics.

User Experience and Interface

The user experience and interface of a movie rating site can significantly impact its usability.

IMDb offers a user-friendly interface with easy navigation to different sections. Its search functionality is robust, allowing users to find detailed information swiftly.

Rotten Tomatoes’ interface is clean and intuitive, with scores prominently displayed and easy access to both critic and audience reviews.

Metacritic’s layout is straightforward, focusing on presenting scores and reviews in an accessible format. Each site’s design enhances the process of discovering and evaluating movies.

Mobile Accessibility of Movie Rating Sites

The accessibility of movie rating sites on mobile devices is a crucial aspect for users who rely on smartphones and tablets.

IMDb provides a comprehensive mobile app, allowing users to access its extensive database on the go.

Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic also offer mobile-friendly websites and apps, ensuring that users can check movie ratings, read reviews, and find film recommendations easily, no matter where they are.

These apps maintain the functionality of their desktop counterparts, offering a seamless mobile experience.

Community Features of Movie Rating Sites

Community features play a significant role in movie rating sites. IMDb’s forums provide a space for in-depth discussions and debates among movie enthusiasts.

Rotten Tomatoes allows users to leave their own reviews and ratings, fostering a community of shared opinions.

Metacritic’s user reviews complement professional critiques, offering diverse perspectives.

These community elements enhance the overall experience by enabling engagement and interaction among users.

Streaming Service Ratings vs. Dedicated Movie Rating Sites

Comparing movie ratings on dedicated sites like IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic with those on streaming platforms like Netflix reveals differences in approach.

Streaming services often use personalized algorithms to suggest films, focusing on individual viewing habits.

In contrast, dedicated movie rating sites provide broader insights with aggregated critic and user ratings, offering a more holistic view of a film’s reception.

This comparison helps users understand the value of different rating sources in selecting movies.

Movie Rating Sites – Wrap Up

Wrapping up, movie rating sites play an indispensable role in guiding viewers through the vast landscape of cinema.

Whether you are looking for critically acclaimed art-house films or mainstream blockbusters, these sites offer valuable insights and detailed information to inform your choice.

By leveraging the unique features and community aspects of each platform, movie enthusiasts can enhance their viewing experience, making informed decisions about what to watch next.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our complete guide to the best sites for rating movies. What’s your favorite movie review site? Let us know in the comments below!

There are many websites that offer movie reviews and ratings, but here are six of the top sites:

Rotten Tomatoes: Rotten Tomatoes is one of the most popular movie review websites. It aggregates reviews from both professional critics and regular movie-goers to provide an overall score for each film.

IMDb: IMDb is a comprehensive database of movies information that also includes user reviews and ratings. Its Top Rated Movies list is based on user ratings, and it’s a great place to find information about upcoming movies.

Metacritic: Like Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic aggregates reviews from critics, but it also assigns a weighted score to each review based on the critic’s track record. The site’s Metascore is often used as a shorthand for a movie’s critical reception.

Toy Story, in my opinion, is more entertaining to watch than Star Wars because it lacks the force.

Is Aliens better than Alien?

One of the seminal rules in the movie industry is that sequels almost always fail to live up to the original. However, there are exceptions to every rule; The Dark Knight, T2, The Godfather Part 2 all proved to do the opposite. However, one of the most hotly contested topics has been whether the sequel to Ridley Scott's iconic horror, Alien, was better than the original. Personally, I always found that Aliens took the concept of the original and just improved on it by showing us the full force of what "the perfect organism" is truly capable of. The action, tension and effects all get heightened to a level that makes Aliens a must-watch film for any sci-fi or film fan in general. What are your thoughts?

Amy Adams is the best actress of her generation

Amy Adams just turned 50, and her acting legacy is already mightily impressive. The six-time Oscar nominee has given us masterful performances in pretty much every genre under the sun; she was a lively princess in Enchanted, the embodiment of virtue in Doubt, a badass working woman in The Fighter, and a tortured soul in Nocturnal Animals. Adams' versatility and willingness to take risks and always defy conventions and expectations make her the best actress of her generation. Her two best performances, as the cerebral linguist Louise Banks in Arrival and the self-harming alcoholic Camille Preaker in Sharp Objects, show not only a remarkable emotional intelligence but an openness to tackle the deepest and often darkest aspects of the human condition. Many other actresses from her generation — Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain — are also absurdly talented, but

Which TV series cancellation are you still mourning?

The last couple of weeks have brought some unfortunate TV show cancellation news, with the most prominent examples of the hammer coming down being My Lady Jane and The Acolyte. But that left me thinking: which TV cancellations are you still mourning? I'll always be a little depressed that Pushing Daisies wasn't given more time to shine, and I'm still going to be sad that Mindhunter and Hannibal were cut off at a certain point, but it really does feel like fewer and fewer shows are getting the opportunity to build an audience these days, and that's disappointing!

The incoherent drama Browse tries to look like a suspenseful horror movie, but there's nothing scary or thrilling about this rambling dud of a film.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2020

film reviewing websites

A great deal of the movie consists of unfinished ideas, plot points, story threads, and character arcs.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 22, 2020

film reviewing websites

It's a thoughtful, curious piece of work which may not quite be successful in finding its destination but which manages to intrigue along the way.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 21, 2020

Skip the film if you need an ending that answers the questions raised throughout. But check it out if you enjoy seeing a psychological thriller that makes you come to your own conclusions.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 20, 2020

With such a tangled mess of a film it is hard to put your finger on what went wrong in the bringing it to the screen.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 13, 2020

film reviewing websites

In a perfect world, this thriller, with its onslaught of stomach-churning "oh no!" moments, would've had a point, something that connected it all together (or at least a conclusion), but it doesn't.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 12, 2020

film reviewing websites

An identity theft "nightmare" that fails every attempted thrill and chill. Quite possibly one of the most unimaginative and unmemorable films I've ever seen.

Full Review | Original Score: .5/5 | Jul 10, 2020

film reviewing websites

An everyman's identify theft -- or is he just a deluded creeper? -- is fitfully explored in this underwhelming psychological thriller.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 7, 2020

film reviewing websites

Browse feels like glimpsing through a problematic story with little context as to why you should care let alone watch it.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10 | Jul 7, 2020

film reviewing websites

This thriller doesn't thrill. It occasionally amuses, and it rarely makes any real sense.

Who will die in Stranger Things season 5?

Stranger Things has notably not killed any of the show's core cast of characters, shying away from the death of Sadie Sink's Max in season 4 despite it making a lot of sense. However, now that the series is in its final season and the creators don't have to worry about missing beloved characters in new installments, Stranger Things season 5 should feature at least a couple of major deaths. I think Steve or Jonathan will die, concluding the romantic triangle with Nancy. Of the younger stars, Max, Eleven, and Will also seem like candidates for a major death.

When will Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse be released?

There have been a few release date updates regarding Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, with one of them being a musician who teased that he will be featured in the movie pointing to a 2025 release. As it stands, The animated movie should either be released next year, if it's ready, or only in 2027. The reason for that is Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4 plans to go before cameras in early 2025. That would most likely mean that Marvel and Sony are aiming for a 2026 release for the film, and having two Spider-Man movies in the same year is unlikely.

ScreenRant

What is the best show to watch while waiting for Reacher season 3?

Prime Video's Reacher is perhaps the best ongoing action series right now, with Alan Ritchson's Jack Reacher being an imposing figure who also possesses excellent investigation skills. While Reacher season 3 does not come around, some series could help the wait for those who enjoy the show. Prime Video offers a few good options in the action genre, with Chris Pratt's revenge rampage in The Terminal List being a good one. Like Ritchson in Reacher, John Krasinski plays a classic action hero from a book series in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. Justin Hartley's Tracker also feels a lot like Reacher.

The logline for the movie reads, “In AFRAID , Curtis (Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called ‘AIA.’ Once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family's behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.”

According to When to Stream , Afraid will debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday.

Per AppleTV+ , Afraid is available for pre-order for $14.99. Preorder prices generally reflect a film’s digital purchase price, while rentals are $5 cheaper. As such, Afraid should be available to rent for a 48-hour period for $9.99. The digial rental period begins once a viewer begins to watch the film.

In addition to AppleTV+, Afraid will be available to purchase or rent on several digital platforms, including Prime Video and VUDU.

How Was ‘Afraid’ Received By Audiences And Critics?

Following its release in theaters on August 30, Afraid , per The Numbers , went on to earn $6.5 million domestically and $2.3 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $8.8 million.

According to Variety , Afraid had a production budget of $12 million before prints and advertising.

Most Rotten Tomatoes critics dismissed Afraid and gave the film a 23% “rotten” rating based on 47 reviews. The RT Critics’ Consensus for the film reads, “Repeating the beats of better techno-horrors, AfrAId short circuits due to the clichéd software of its script and the uninspired hardware of its craft.”

Afraid also earned a 52% “rotten” RT Audience Score based on 250-plus verified user ratings.

Among the individual reviews on RT , The Hollywood Reporter critic Caryn James writes, “Chris Weitz (most famously About a Boy and most recently Operation Finale ) works hard to make Afraid a smarter-than-average horror movie, but the effort is conspicuous, and in the end the film is bland and obvious.”

Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Times also gave the film a “rotten” review, writing, “This scenario’s predictability could be forgiven were the movie effective on any level, but it just isn’t, from [John] Cho and [Katherine] Waterston’s wooden performances to jump scares that would not startle Scooby-Doo.”

Among the “fresh” reviews of Afraid , Kyle Logan of the Chicago Reader writes, “Afraid is better than expected...and it largely succeeds as a fun genre exercise. If only its aspiration to “say something” didn’t keep it from being pure dumb fun.”

Rated PG-13, Afraid debuts on PVOD on Tuesday.

    Sk8ersw. •. The best app for tracking both movies and tv IMO is JustWatch. It only allows you to upvote/downvote movies and TV shows so the ratings aren't nearly as comprehensive as sites like IMDb or Letterboxd. However, the real kicker in my opinion is the ability to track tv shows.
