About movie.guru

Every movie gets a score.
The lucky ones get a Take.

movie.guru is a non-commercial fan blog dressed like it's 2006 and your Top 8 still runs your life. Every movie on here gets the movie.guru score, one number built from critics and audiences. The ones movie guru actually sat through also get The Guru’s Take, and that's where things get unhinged.

01
The movie.guru score

The algorithm. Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, CinemaScore and PostTrak each get calibrated against thousands of notable movies, then blended 50/50 critics and audiences. 1 to 10, one decimal, and the median movie lands at 5.5.

02
The Guru’s Take

movie guru's own number on the same scale, plus a TLDR built to make you laugh, argue, or both. It gets its own section on reviewed movie pages and never counts toward the score. Not an input, not a tiebreaker. The build refuses to run if it sneaks in.

03
The receipts

Trailers, box office by territory, release timelines, cast, crew and where to stream it, all pulled from public sources and credited at the bottom of every page. New releases refresh every single day.
