This is a really cool use case - something that everyone can use in their everyday (or at least in their weekend) life. I am like you - who trusts "friends" opinion more than the critics before watching a movie.<p>Thanks for doing this and taking time to document the entire process. Looking forward to the next rev.
Interesting project. I like the idea of using sentiment to quantify movie ratings. This is specially helpful at film festivals and for foreign films where there are very few critic ratings available. I can see Netflix/Amazon Prime using something like this extensively to gauge interest in their original TV programming.
