Some media reported that Douyin has launched a movie rating function. At present, Douyin has publicly displayed the ratings of many movies such as "Jiaoyuan Lane" and "Jurassic World: Rebirth". As you can see from the Douyin App, in the Douyin Cinema Movie List, the types of movies you can choose to view are divided into "all", "hot movies" and "to be released", and the time can be selected from "weekly list", "daily list" and "real-time list". From the perspective of rating experience, the operation on Douyin is similar to that on Douban. Users can choose a rating from one to five stars after clicking "Viewed".
Talking about the launch time of the movie rating function, Douyin said that as the summer season is approaching, Douyin hopes to help users discover good movies through ratings, and also drive more viewers to participate in the discussion and dissemination of good movies, so that truly valuable "audience opinions" can become the main force in word-of-mouth communication of movies. So Douyin began to officially announce movie ratings during the summer, and has now begun to gradually cover popular summer movies.
Douyin stated that in order to present objective and fair user ratings, Douyin movie ratings are based on the principles of "from the public", "from the audience", "reasonable" and "equal treatment". The platform encourages users to rate based on their real movie-watching experience and will continue to crack down on false scoring practices to maintain the credibility of the scoring system.
“Douyin’s ratings focus on being popular, sincere, and valuable. We welcome the expression of diverse viewpoints, support objective and detailed evaluation of works, and are committed to providing more users with valuable movie-watching references, protecting the movie rating ecosystem, and jointly promoting industry progress.” Douyin said.
However, at present, the number of movies covered by Douyin’s movie rating function is relatively limited. In the real-time list of Sina Technology under the "all" type option, you can only view "Chang'an's Lychee" and "You Can Do It!" Come on! "Ratings of the two movies.
Regarding the issue that only a few movies display ratings, Douyin responded that Douyin hopes to provide users with fair, objective and valuable user ratings. Before doing so, it will go through a series of strict user rating calculations. After the calculation, the results will be announced if they meet the requirements. At present, more and more viewers and users on Douyin are willing to leave ratings and reviews on Douyin. In the future, Douyin ratings will gradually cover new hot and historical movies.
Douyin said that if users want to check movie ratings and historical movies on Douyin, they can search Douyin's "My Movies and Entertainment" function, click "Search Movies" in "More", search for the movie name, enter the details page to view and participate in the rating. New hot movies can be viewed and rated directly through the Douyin movie list.
In late June, Douyin announced at the 2025 Douyin Movie Adventure Night that it would release user ratings of movies one after another during the summer season. At that time, users can rate and evaluate the original film through movie-related videos and hot spots on the Douyin platform, search for the movie name, or directly through the movie details page to check its current rating level, word-of-mouth evaluation, etc.
