I can’t express how much I hate you. It’s the worst UI I’ve ever seen in my life.

I guess I'm basically done with IMDb then. I've been a power user for years but this is essentially unusable like this.  What a disappointment. :(

"Downgraded" is FAR too kind a word. It's been outright ruined.

This new layout is awful. Everything's either way to big or way to small, round when it should be square, or just empty space. Why are so many websites switching their desktop UI to designs barely suitable for mobile, and not at ALL suitable for desktop?

Oh great, now I'm getting an email for every d*mn like and reply here. How on earth can I shut off this stream of interruptions? Clicking "unfollow" up top didn't do it.

Could you bring back the month and day on the titles release date?

@rickygold Please see -> https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/introducing-updated-imdbcom-title-page-experience/60a40631c1307254c6cc1b0d?commentId=60a94c2393de84003be61bf0&replyId=60a9eb7ffad48e7959855522 

Note that we are looking at ensuring the release date is always present in the same position if the title has yet to release specifically in your country. At the moment it is only displayed at the top if the title has not yet released anywhere in the world. 

You can access all of the release dates by clicking the year under the title at the top of the page or via the “Release dates” option on the “All Topics” menu in the upper right of the page. 

Hope this helps.

No. They can't bring back the month and day of the title release dates unless it requires us to add at least 10 extra clicks to navigate to that information. They instead want to make the user's experience as timely, manipulative and bad as possible in an effort to make even more money from us, as if writing the content we add and the advertisement money they get is not enough. Next month they plan on coming to your home and taking the fresh vegetables and proteins out of your refrigerator. It's OK though as we users don't know what is best for us and/or what we want anyway.

@stychy  We are not responsible for third party plugins, sorry.  You should be able to contact the author of this plugin and have them update it to work on our new pages.

                           The worst redesign in internet history.  Why is this layed out

                           as if I were on a mobile phone ?? I"m on a desktop where my width

                           is 3X my height . For all the pity party about being green  these white

                          and useless pixels occupying 80 of the screen seems like it would

                          add up - but thats just for you people that think this way. I'm thinking                 

                          that this is the mediocricy that we will all come to expect now that

                          other factors are now used to match people to projects instead of the

                           tried and true method - skiled; professional craftsmen (yep ) leading

                            the way. I can see the scene - "Hey guys this is IMDB , we are a leader,

                            lets get the best people on this."  NOPE sorry folks, this new design is

                           perhaps a way to increase mice sales as it takes 44x times more mousing.

                           by the way-  this is a refrence website - not a 'experience'..  I'm old enough

                           to remember IMDB when all it had was a email interface ( before browser)

                           I have seen it all and yes this is the WORST DESIGN for the task at hand

                          in the whole wide world EVER.  Thanks - hope it gets fixed by some pros.

I used to spend hours and hours on IMDB for the at least two decades. During my high school years, right throughout university and most of my working life. It was the solution to finding information about movies, read reviews and an encyclopedia of entertainment. I don't anymore. The new design is absolutely ridiculous. It is annoying and distasteful to the eyes. I am sure millions of people will agree that whoever designed this and forcing it onto your millions of users should be taken action against. Cool concept - Yes. Practical - No. If IMDB wants to lose its audience to other sites, keep this design. If not, change it back. We will be forced to seek alternate websites due to the poor and unprofessional new layout.

@Col_Needham I have climbed  through the whole of this topic it shows how disliked the change in design is the vast majority of people who have taken the time to reply to it have a definite thumbs down this reminds me of something that I learnt whilst in the Army "If It Ain't Broke don't fix it!" 

I have my own site (no I am not giving it's address) its been running for twenty years this August and I will be renewing it, we still use IBF 1.31 because its simple and functional and each post / or topic contains everything needed. 

And its never been hacked or suffered a DDos attack, Your previous interface was IMHO the best there is / was because so many people used it and didnt complain, this new (not better) interface is by the posts here the worst thing that has happened to this site I suggest you listen to your members I have seen posts on other site's discussing this interface and they are not good, one of the kindest questions your sanity.

Lastly for those who are following this topic show how you agree by using the like dislike thumbs maybe if enough show how much they agree then possibly someone might just listen.

They don't care. Not that they should have to care that much,.. but to be THIS horrifically opposed to all long time users, when they've done something so detrimental, is an abomination. They should have cared at least an inch.

I hate this new look. I can't find what I'm looking for anymore, and it takes longer to load. PLEASE give us the option of using the previous format. It wasn't broken....there was no reason to "fix" it.

@CinnVicious   My guess is IMDB users who are guests and those who are not IMDBpro subscribers, will likely be forced into paying for what is now currently free.  Do guest users have access to settings so that they can customize their view.  I would like an answer to this question.  I(n the end, its all about money.

@delmedia I too have never watched any movie/trailer on a phone, and this is still not gonna happen for me. I watch movies either on my computer or on TV. And I know I'm not alone on this.

They already monetize a thousand other ways. WE create their content. They have paid, premium options. This is nothing to do with wanting every user to pay (on top of all of the money they already make off of us) but rather about manipulating us to be directed to areas of their site that make even MORE money from us. Just stop using them. Go to MetaCritic.com , RottenTomatoes.com.. even Wikipedia. Make accounts at the first two sites and we will have a better option than the new mess IMDB is forcing on us.
