INTRODUCING: Updated IMDb.com Title page experience

You could switch to Title Reference View for the time being, but you might find yourself bombarded with the transcription of the entirety of a movie's end credits sequence, which might be unfortunate for you.

I've now spent a few days with the new site. Still don't like it. Maybe it needs even more improving. Nothing flashes at the moment. Have you considered using many more fonts, and maybe every letter in some of the words could be a different colour? Hey, maybe even all at the same time?

More seriously, it seems from this thread that very few people have a good word for the new look. I don't really expect anyone to do anything much about it (and heaven forbid that this new release is just rolled back for desktop users) because despite what they might say, global companies don't usually give a ***p about what the punters think. I would ask though, that when in a couple of years the guys from marketing or whoever try to justify their existence by having another redesign to give the site a "fresh new look" or whatever that you try not to ***k it up even more.

I've been using it now for a couple weeks and it's actually pretty good. It seems they have some additional items in the credits section too for when they did "making of" specials. I miss the trivia section though. It could use more bio pictures, but only when you click on them! I wish there were a bit of a middle ground - oh wait, there was one a month ago.

@Shiva143 Thanks for the feedback. The running time is still there. Perhaps you checked a title for which we do not have this information?  Here is one which does -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620292/ -- the duration is at the top of the page directly under the title (see red highlighting):

and at the bottom in the "Technical Specs" section too:

Hope this helps.

@me_6275224 Yes, those are still included (as is all content from the previous design). Please see earlier in the thread ... https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/introducing-updated-imdbcom-title-page-experience/60a40631c1307254c6cc1b0d?commentId=60a872658c74ef317253e19b&replyId=60a8a61691eb1060df02ae89 

Never mind.  It is tucked away in the new "Details" section which shows the full release date.  At least before the year was given beside the title in parentheses.  Ah useless UI changes to justify someone's useless job.

Right now I can get the old format back by logging in to IMDb with my old (20 years now) IMDb login.

bobwolfe - I tried that but they've messed up my password ... again ... so I can't log on at all. 

@jedijesse Thanks for the feedback.  We have not removed any content from the new title pages -- do you have an example to highlight the problem? 

The actor/name pages have not had a major redesign since 2010 so please can you provide more information on what you think has changed? 

You may find this helpful -> https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF 

Hope this helps. 

Everything has gigantic headers. Instead of a list of actors, I get these gigantic headshots that I have to scroll around (and there's definitely less of them visible then the list previously provided)

Unfortunately, I can't provide a direct comparison, because you've taken away the old version.

re: actor/name page... likely I landed on the mobile version, which has the same problem and assumed it was part of your redesign.

Please prioritize data and readability over style and flashiness. I'm here for information.

"We have not removed any content from the new title pages" NO, you just made it WORSE. The little caption photos are larger, but they're not better. And we can't see them WHILE we look at the story description. Don't you understand - the OLD format was great. We had everything we wanted. Did you pay so much money to the programmers that you feel cheated going back to the way we all liked it? Because we would all be SO happy if you could just restore that old version.
