One thing I've noticed is that it's not very good with sequels.

For example, I liked the original Planet of the Apes, but I've absolutely hated every single one since. Yet it keeps recommending more sequels even though I've marked them "awful".

I've also noticed that it won't stop recommending various Lord of the Rings movies, even though I've marked every single one of them as awful.

I'm still not sure if the recommendations are good or not. I'm at 92% now, and half the recommendations it gives that I've already seen are bad, so I'm not inclined to believe the ones I haven't seen yet.

I also noticed that it started out with lots of sci-fi and action movies, to the point that I had to start manually searching for romance movies just to get them to even show up. Basically, after the first 4-5 movies, you're stuck in a genre.
