The-Movie-Cinema

Python Framework Frontend API

This application provides all the details of the requested movie such as overview, genre, release date, rating, runtime, top cast, reviews, recommended movies, etc.

The details of the movies(title, genre, runtime, rating, poster, etc) are fetched using an API by TMDB, https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api, and using the IMDB id of the movie in the API, I did web scraping to get the reviews given by the user in the IMDB site using beautifulsoup4 and performed sentiment analysis on those reviews.

If you can't find the movie you're searching for through auto-suggestions while typing, there's no need to worry. Simply type the name of the movie and press "enter". Even if you make some typos, it should still work fine.
