There were 3 of us watched this and although we all loved the despicable movies none of us enjoyed this. My son (11) said it felt like it was 2 hours long it was so boring. I can\u0027t really explain why it came across as so poor - but it just seemed really lazy and without Gru to play against the Minnions were just to simple. It was slapstick with no soul. The music although quite good didn\u0027t really seem to fit the film - just seemed to be tacked on at bit were they felt they should have a soundtrack and a famous song. Buy yourself a copy of despicable me and watch it again and again. Much better value for money! This just felt rushed, with loads of stock jokes, maybe hoping enough of them would hit the mark - they didn\u0027t.",

Answer 1

You have a JSON data into a HTML page.
So you have to
1) retrieve the JSON data only
2) parse the JSON and process it
$id = 'tt0159365' ; // example id
$c = file_get_contents("https://www.imdb.com/title/$id");
// retrieve the JSON data
$d = new DomDocument();
#$d->loadHTML($c);
// parse the HTML to retrieve the "ld+json" only
$xp = new domxpath($d);
$jsonScripts = $xp->query( '//script[#type="application/ld+json"]' );
$json = trim( $jsonScripts->item(0)->nodeValue ); // get the first script only (it should be unique anyway)
// decode the JSON string we find into a associative array
$data = json_decode( $json, true );
// you can now use this array to query the data you want
$duration = $data['duration'];
echo "Duration: $duration" ;
$director = $data['director']['name'] ;
echo "Director : $director" ;
