Reviews
Harsh Ghuriani and Naveen Sharma

Introduction
Movie is one of the most important means of entertainment in the world. Most often
people want to know the opinions of the movie in advance either by word of mouth or by
looking through the movie review sites. Innumerable user generated information is on
the Internet as tweets, blogs, review, comments and likes. There are millions of reviews
available and these reviews need to be explored, analyzed and organized for a better
decision making. There is a great need of summarizing the movie review information
available in different web sites. Opinion mining is a natural language processing that
deals with the knowledge extraction of the opinions from the review texts.
What and how people think has always been an important piece of information for most
of us during the decision making process. Opinion matters and affects all of us. Web is
the source of many research works and Opinion Mining is one such area of research
work. Internet and Web made it possible to find opinions and experiences of people who
are neither our personal acquaintances nor well known professional critics.
The cheap access of internet to millions of users and the technology focused
generations has contributed to generation of large amounts of data, which are mainly in
the form of unstructured data. Most of the times the actual reviews are so long that it is
impossible to read even a few of them and bring out conclusions from them. In these
cases, customers may eventually tend to reading a few reviews in order to form a
decision regarding the movie and gets a one sided view of the movie.

Behavioral theory to
capture intentions in
rating online movie reviews
.

Underreporting bias
occurs when
consumers
with extreme
opinions are
more likely to
report their
opinions than
consumers
with moderate
reviews,
resulting in
reviews that
may be biased
estimators of
quality and
certainly have
higher
variance.

Factors affecting the Rating of Bollywood Movies

(based on Online Reviews)
1) How many reviews are posted for the movie? How many of them are positive and
negative?
2) What is the impact of the number of reviews on movie rating?
3) What are the different online review sources for the movie?
4) How does a positive and a negative review effect the rating of the Bollywood
movie?
5) How reliable is the review from a particular online source considered?
6) Are the fake online reviews identified? If yes, do they count?
7) Does the information about the reviewer effects the reliability of the review?

8) Does the time of posting the review matter for rating a movie?
9) In Bollywood, people also post positive reviews just because of their favorite
actor/actress in the movie; does it have an impact on the rating?
10) Whose reviews are more trusted: A person who has been posting reviews from
quite a long time; or a newbie whose reviews get more likes?
11) How do the reviews have different impacts on rating of a new movie and rating
of an older movie?
