How we approach our movie coverage

Our coverage is written for people who genuinely enjoy movies. We aim to combine factual research with informed editorial commentary rather than simply repeating plot summaries, cast lists or information that can be found anywhere else.

We believe factual claims and editorial opinion should be distinguishable. Facts should have a reasonable evidential basis. Opinions, interpretations and judgements are presented as editorial views rather than objective facts.

Where reliable information is not available, we would rather leave something out than present speculation as fact.

Movie articles may draw on multiple sources of information when researching production history, cast and crew, release information, filmmaking, reception, legacy and other factual subjects.

We aim to use information that can be reasonably supported and to avoid presenting rumours, assumptions or unsupported production stories as established fact.

Not every piece of information discovered during research is necessarily included in an article. If we are not sufficiently confident in a claim, we may choose not to publish it.

Movies in the 00s uses software and artificial intelligence as part of its editorial workflow. These tools can assist with research organisation, article drafting, revision, consistency checking and quality control.

AI-generated text is not treated as automatically accurate simply because a system produced it. Our publishing workflow is designed to check drafts against the information available to the editorial system and to identify problems such as unsupported details, repetition, inconsistent information and content that does not meet our quality requirements.

Drafts may be revised, rejected or withheld from publication when they do not meet those standards. The use of automation does not change our basic editorial principle: factual claims should have a reasonable basis, and uncertainty should not be presented as established fact.

Movies in the 00s is not intended to be a neutral movie database. Part of the fun of revisiting cinema is talking about what works, what does not, what has aged brilliantly and what now feels unmistakably tied to its era.

Reviews, rankings, comparisons, recommendations and retrospective judgements therefore contain editorial opinion. Different viewers may reasonably reach very different conclusions about the same movie.

We do not change an editorial opinion simply because a studio, distributor, advertiser or other commercial party disagrees with it.

Despite our efforts, mistakes can happen. If a factual error is brought to our attention, we will review it and correct the article where appropriate.

We distinguish factual corrections from differences of opinion. A disagreement with a review or interpretation does not necessarily mean that an article contains a factual error.

If you believe we have published something factually incorrect, please contact us with details of the article and the information you believe should be reviewed.

Movies in the 00s is an independent publication. Editorial decisions are based on what we believe will be interesting, useful or entertaining for our readers.

Advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships or other commercial arrangements do not determine our editorial opinions.

If commercial content is ever produced in partnership with another organisation, we aim to identify that relationship clearly so readers can understand the nature of the content they are viewing.

Movies in the 00s may use advertising, affiliate links or other forms of commercial support to help fund the operation of the site.

The existence of an advertising or affiliate relationship does not guarantee positive coverage and does not change our editorial judgement.

Where a link may generate revenue for Movies in the 00s, we aim to provide appropriate disclosure where required.

Movie titles, character names, posters, stills, artwork and other third-party materials may belong to their respective copyright and trademark owners.

Where third-party material is used for editorial, identification, criticism, review or commentary, we aim to use it proportionately and in context.

Copyright or rights concerns can be submitted through our contact page.

Our editorial processes may evolve as Movies in the 00s grows. We may update this policy to reflect significant changes to the way we research, produce, review or fund our coverage.
