tl;dr

Aggregate movie ratings for a given movie.

About

Works, but very much a work in progress. (see bugs below)

Fork of https://github.com/JulienPezet/get_movie_score

• Uses latest available (sometimes unofficial) APIs as of June 2023
• Conforms a bit better to python standards

< screenshot will be added once more of the improvements below are put in >

Getting Started

1. git clone https://github.com/ulysseskan/moviescore.git
2. cd moviescore
3. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
4. python3 main.py <movie query>

Prerequisites

You need a copy of Python 3. I only tested with Python 3.10. One way to install Python 3 is:

1. Install Brew.
2. brew install python3
3. Ensure Brew's executable bin directory is in your PATH variable, for example:
   echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile

Potential improvements

• Add RT weighted score
• Add Cinemascore
• Add Letterboxd rating
• Add various parents guide site scores (CommonSenseMedia age rating (done), Spotlight (done), MovieGuide (done), IMDb parental guide excerpt (done))
• Add movie length
• Make it hostable on a (local) web server
• Colorize output (if score less than x, make red, etc.)
• Add prediction "you'll probably like it" if CinemaScore >= B, RottenTomatoes better than 55%+, MovieGuide better than -2, IMDb 6+, Letterboxd 3+ and vice versa
• Add JustWatch results
• Prune requirements.txt

Bugs and Limitations

• JustWatch results are currently not being returned due to the site switching to JavaScript generated results (I have already fixed this locally by using Selenium.)
• Searching for king kong 1933 does not return expected results
• Cinemascore results brittle, their site doesn't seem to like queries longer than 1 word
