Flixster is a social networking platform that’s designed and aimed specifically at film fans. Anyone who registers on the site can create their own profile, invite their friends, rate movies, rate actors and write their own reviews for certain movies. All of the content is written by other users which means that it’s a very valuable resource.
You can also find out about the movie and find out when it’s playing at your local cinema. Because it’s a social networking site there are plenty of ways to interact with other users. There are also celebrity photos and trailers all of which can be watched on the internet. Flixster has lots of features which is why it’s becoming so popular among the movie community.
In Their Own Words:
Flixster is a community for movie fans of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are a die-hard horror fan or lover of romantic comedies (or both), Flixster is a place where you can find others who share your taste and through them discover new movies that you will love.
About two and a half years old, Flixster is already one of the largest movie sites on the web with over 15 million unique visitors and almost 2 billion movie ratings.
What makes this site a Great Site To Visit:
There are more social networking sites than there are days in the year so why should you bother visiting this one? Well that’s because it’s aimed specifically at people who love movies. If you’re a film nut then you will find yourself right at home here. There are a few other film review sites however none are like this. The interface is very easy to use and the community is friendly and helpful. If you have problems doing anything then you just have to ask for help or read the tutorials in the forums.
The Look And Feel:
The site is easy to use and has a clean design. The one really annoying thing is that it keeps on trying to get you to invite your friends by putting in your email account password. Not everyone will want to do this so the pestering isn’t welcomed. It is however a very good site where you can find out lots of different film reviews including honest ratings from people that aren’t just professional movie critics.
Registering for an account with Flixster is very easy and you don’t even have to if you have a my space account that you want to link to your account. You only need to enter your password once which is strange and the second box under the password is the security question test, so don’t type your password in there! If you enter something wrong on the form then for some reason the gender will be wiped so you have to click it again this is a little frustrating.
Final Thoughts:
Flixster could be interesting for anyone that loves movies and wants to talk about them with their friends. Of course this would be possible on another social networking site but this one is created specifically for films. Because it’s community driven the reviews actually should mean something and aren’t just written by people who are paid to write them.
