Review process

Is there any way to stop first weekend reviews? It hurts movie theaters significantly when a movie like Lightyear is being review bombed because of a same-sex kiss. That's just one example. I've had multiple patrons tell me they didn't want to watch a movie because of reviews, only to love that same

There should be a section for religion on pages for people.

I was thinking of having political views as a section but that’s too abstract. But I don’t see the point of having publicity listings, video and screen clips, and star sign. It seems like too much info compared to a religion section.

Move Plot Keywords off the main page as they can be spoilers

Plot Keywords often contain spoilers. Example: transsexual showing up on "The Crying Game" effectively hints at the entire point of the movie. There are plenty of other examples It seems like it would be best if spoilers were not on the main page?

Cast Spoilers

Perhaps there could be a section in the cast list that contains spoilers? While recently finishing the first part of Stranger Things 4, I had an extremely huge and important plot point ruined for me because the cast list carelessly lists every actor's character names. Information which is typically

Flagging spoilers.

On the Goofs, Trivia, and Quotes pages, in addition to "Is this interesting?" and "Share this", I think there should be an option for "Flag as spoiler", so that the information in question doesn't appear on the movie main page and is marked as spoiler on its appropriate page. A similar feature in th

Remove duplicate attributes with spelling / format variations in contribution menus

This is an example of a recurrent problem that IMDb is well aware of, but has been unable to solve: the presence in the Attributes listing (that users must consult before they enter a new one) has been constructed by successive additions, and never revised under a criteria (for instance, always use

submitting goofs

when submitters describe where a goof is located by saying "if one was to look closely", it may not be sufficient enough so may I suggest submitters rephrase it to " the goof can be found approximately one hour, thirty-two minutes, and ten seconds", or rephrase it to "if one were to pause the film a

Create individual sub-heading for PRODUCTION SERVICE COMPANIES

Yes, I do work at one but bias and pride aside, I would have thought it would make sense all round to extract the Production Service company (or companies) from the OTHER COMPANIES and create a new heading just for them either immediately above or below DISTRIBUTORS.
