The links to Allmovie almost never are usefull. Aren't all those links to it just spam? IMDB has a bunch of info, Allmovie doesn't compare.
Allmovie are definitely a spammer. They contain no extra info above IMDB. They have obviously used a bot to add a link to virtually every film listed on wikipedia. And probably use a bot to keep it there. How they can get away with this is beyond me. Wikipedia mods need to act and remove all these links automatically.

Allmovie, like Allmusic, provides high quality, professional-quality information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.222.46.151 ( talk) 20:04, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Some of the material is very dubious. I read a bio of an actor/director which talked about him like a combination Brando and Hitchcock. It was absurdly off-base. Who provides the bios? BashBrannigan ( talk) 03:33, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
I disagree that Rovi/allmovie/music are poor sources. While I'm wary of crew details, I find the synopsis on the whole better than IMDB. And let's face it IMDB is far from accurate. Almost daily I cross-reference these two sites, since I do not fully trust either. On the issue of prescribing genre to films in production, well let's say I look forward to the day Spiderman 6 is a western. wha? ( talk) 19:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Allmusic is the primary brand. It's unnecessary to maintain this separately. My attempts to redirect have been disputed. 71.251.128.101 ( talk) 05:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you might consider renaming this article to « AllRovi » as this is the case used everywhere on their website. Od1n ( talk) 20:26, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
I saw that someone redirected this page to Allmusic. However, changes of this type require consensus. If you do not think the article is notable, or think the article is dubious, please submit it send it to AFD or PROD. Thanks and happy editing! pluma Ø 23:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
Does this article really need all of the reviewers personally listed? Seems like link-juicing SEO to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manys ( talk • contribs) 19:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't know how many editors still have this page on their watchlist but any that do may want to consider moving the page. From what I can find tonight it looks like they have abandoned the Allrovi designation and have gone to Allmovie.
If any of you can confirm this one way or the other please feel free to move ahead (or not) with the move. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 05:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Yep. I thnk it was in 2011 that allmovie.com (and allmusic.com etc) was replaced by allrovi.com with very similar content but fewer search possibilties, now it seems allmovie.com is back and allrovi.com dead. Hope it's back to the way it was, it used to be a good alternative to IMDB. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.211.158.203 ( talk) 15:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
I am merging this content with All Media Network. Actually, that's misleading because there is very little unique content on this page. The AllRovi#Content section is identical to the Allmusic#Content section, except for the name of the product (AllRovi and Allmusic, respectively). I'm not sure why the AllRovi#History section seems to be mostly about Allmovie, but as you might expect, all of that content can be found on Allmovie and All Media Network. The only thing that is unique is the information about when AllRovi was available. AllRovi was the Rovi-branded version of the All Media Guide, which is now the All Media Network. Rovi still owns the underlying databases, but they sold the web-based interface to All Media Network who maintains the GUI. When looked at from this perspective, AllRovi is simply part of the All Media Guide history which is currently explored on the All Media Network article. -- Morphovariant ( talk) 01:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
A startling number of movies on AllMovie seem to label their plot summaries as "Description taken from Wikipedia". Muzilon ( talk) 11:43, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
