From the MRQE site: "MRQE.com, the Movie Review Query Engine, is the Internet’s largest database for movie reviews. Founded in 1993, MRQE (pronounced "marquee"), is a searchable index of all published and available movie reviews, news, interviews, and other material associated to movies. The combination of reviews + news + user discussion, all accessed through MRQE’s search portal, allows any user to read and add to the Internet’s most comprehensive collection of opinion about film."

"The site assembles about thirty reviews per movie from publications around the U.S., with links to the full reviews. "We try to include every new release, including limited releases and films that appear at film festivals and are reviewed in at least 3 publications." The About Us page explains how scores for the movies are calculated."

Rotten Tomatoes is a good source of film reviews. Pay attention to the source of reviews you choose to use!
