    Same functionality, but not owned by Amazon and the developers and userbase are much closer.

    Just a better site. Not perfect, but better. IMDb today is a total disaster and they don't care for a second about user feedback.

    TMDb doesn't have dark mode, but I enabled it with an extension called Dark Reader.

    Other than that, it has some neat features that IMDb lacks.

    Only thing I miss is IMDb rating (which I'm familiar with).

    ratehouse is so good and so underrated. i'm willing to bet it'll become supremely popular once they get some marketing done.
