They're written by users and are often incomplete, or badly written. In my opinion, it's no longer the more professional site. Sure it's got a huge database, but where do you think that database originally came from? Users.

Yes there are some issues with imdb plots but themoviedb is not good for me for a few reasons. Imdb has a choice between the short and long plot. I prefer short as long tends to be spoiler ridden. Many of the plot descriptions on themoviedb are even worse than the long plot description on imdb for spoilers (sometimes there is a short plot description which is better than nmj use by default but still)

Quote:I can sympathise with those people that are used to IMDB, but understand that there are real commercial reasons why it's unsustainable to continue to licence their very expensive API.

I understand that but for movie data imdb is better whatever commercial reasons why they switch.
