We all are aware of some great social networking sites such as Orkut and Facebook and are also aware of their awesome success. The trend now has moved to another level with sites such as Criticker. Criticker is a user driven movie review and recommendation community. The site has been developed by the same people who earlier made waves with their Random Good Stuff blog.

The concept behind this all is quite simple – Let user’s rate movies which they have seen, on a scale of 0-100, other users who want to see any movie can first read the user reviews of all the movies and then decide the best. Users will just have to click on a movie title to get to know about a short summary, genre, direction and the star cast of the movie they wish to see.

The user interface is quite pleasing, however sometimes it’s quite difficult to differentiate between the content and the ads. Another good feature of the site is that users can first go through a list of 50 movie sites without even signing up for an account. If you find the statistics useful then you can sign up for an account. Membership is completely free and takes a few seconds.

Once you rate the movies you have seen, the site also generates a Taste Compatibility Index that matches your taste with other Criticker users. The concept behind the design seems unique and we wish them all the very best.
