IMDb Redesigns Title Review Subpages

IMDb Redesigns Title Review Subpages

 

We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s redesigned title review subpages on imdb.com! The updated pages are meant to make your IMDb experience easier and more enjoyable by providing a modern, clean and intuitive presentation of information. The newly update pages still have consistent features to hide reviews with spoilers or sort and filter reviews.  Additionally, at the top of every page we have included a “+ Review” that will allow you to easily add a new review, or update your existing review for that title. Each individual review now includes a menu with share options, as well as the “Report” option which you can also use to delete your own review. These enhancements reflect changes suggested by IMDb customers, as well as our own in-depth research designed to enhance entertainment content, discovery, and navigation.

We hope you enjoy these latest improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world’s most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content. As always we welcome your feedback – please feel free to post your questions and comments to this thread.

Thanks for letting us know of this change.  A few problems I am already experiencing with the new format that make me wish for the old format:
1.  You can't immediately tell if you've reviewed the movie.  To be able to tell you need to hit the "+Review" button and then wait to see if the template that pops up is empty or full.  On the old format it would only say "+Review" if you hadn't reviewed the movie.  If you had reviewed the movie the button it would say "Edit your review".  Much more helpful.

2.  It's more difficult to find your review as your review looks exactly like anybody else's review.  On the old way the user's review had a blue (rather than yellow) star next to its rating, making it stand out.

@grantssThank you for your feedback. Updating the review button to more accurately indicate if you can edit a review vs add a new review as well as showing the blue star are part of updates our team are planning to make in the future to make your own review availability more obvious when you come to the updated page.

Another way to conveniently and quickly find and edit your reviews today is by signing into your IMDb account and going to to the profile dropdown menu at the top of the page clicking "Your activity". From there you can go to the "Review" section from the quicklinks menu which will take you to a page that includes all of your current reviews for you to edit.

There is a way to link a review to social media or report a review for violation of terms of service, but no way to edit a review once posted.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there @tcmfan! Thanks for reaching out, there are a couple of ways to edit a review after you submit.

1. Profile - reviews subpage: after signing into your IMDb account, go to to the profile dropdown menu at the top of the page clicking "Your activity". From there you can go to the "Review" section from the quicklinks menu which will take you to a page that includes all of your current reviews for you to edit. Each of your reviews includes a "three dot" menu in the top right corner -- if you click on that you will see an option to "Edit" or "Delete" your review.

2. Title - reviews subpage: navigate to the title page for which you've already submitted a review. At the top of the page there are navigation links including "User Reviews" or you can click "All Topics" which will bring up a menu where you will find the same link under Opinion - User Reviews. After clicking that link you will be taken to a dedicated subpage for that title that includes all available reviews. At the top of that page you can click "+ Review" which will open up a modal for you to edit your existing review, if you have one for that title. If you do not have a review for that title, the modal will prompt you to add one.
