Disappointed with new IMDB format.

I have been a regular user of IMDB.com for more than two decades probably and I am sorry, but I am saddened by your new format. I wondered if you might take a poll from your users/staff to consider your previous user-friendly format? Now, it's hard to immediately see the stars/Metacritic appears to be out of view or gone and the screen is so huge that you have to scroll through lots of stuff to get to the director, etc. At the very least, maybe you could consider putting the stars/ratings directly under the title of the movie as previously as the place the ratings are in now is an unfortunate place to put them. Thank you for considering taking a poll of your users opinions and this comment.

Same here. With imdb almost from the beginning, have contributed a few things as well, and voted for hundreds of movies and series. I which they would have asked regular users or would give us a chance to keep the old design - like reddit does with old.reddit - instead of just making it mandatory for all. So much worse than before.
Well, I guess that's Amazon for you. :(

Oh my. I don't follow the community but it looks like almost every single poster agrees that the format is terrible. It's actually way more than terrible. It's useless. In addition to having to scroll all over the page to find various bits of information you are looking for, the website actually is so much slower to navigate because of all the ads and images that were included in this new formatting version. I get it about money, but I used to look up a ton of info in a short amount of time on IMDB for movies and because it's not functional anymore, I think I'm going to stick to Metacritic and look at the Google details on IMDB for the relevant information. So disappointed we can't have the option to use the old version.
