We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s newly refreshed movie and TV show pages! The renewed page is meant to make your IMDb experience easy and enjoyable, and its design represents the diverse interests of global entertainment fans. The refresh reflects IMDb customer feedback and research designed to enhance entertainment content discovery and navigation.
Please note, we are gradually launching the new design to a selection of IMDb customers. If you do not yet see the design, we expect to make it broadly available in the weeks ahead. Thank you for using IMDb!

I come here for actual research and the new "mobile friendly" look is too bulky and inefficient a use of space. I need a look that better simulates the old look that doesn't waste screen realestate being cluttered with huge images.

The title pages and the new home page do unfortunately look like quickly created wordpress pages (partly because every segment is just sooo big). The top banner ad is far too high - so little informaiton about the actual film is displayed on a page before scrolling down, it doesn't make me want to stay. I wonder if the bounce rate is higher on this new design vs the old one, surely it will be. The actors section with their circular photos is honestly just wierd. Given the option, I would definitely prefer to browse with the older version - although the old version could easilly be given a moderate facelift and better info accessibility without alienating all the people commenting here and on reddit!

Title pages load all info unbearably slow, so there is no surprise why most new and many older movies has much more ratings/views on Letterboxd than on IMDb, some of them even 10 times more. :drinking coffee:

In the old website i could add titles by hovering he "+" button located on movie images. In the new website this popup does not appear and it drives me crazy. Am I the one who could not figure it out how to quick add movies to lists or this feature just dissapeared?

Please have the full release date at the top of the page. All there is now is the year of release. It used to be at the top before the website update.

Can't see the release date on the new IMDB graphic look. Only year.
Just to give an example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10696896/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Stillwater are only shown as 2021 release in top left corner.
And cast are kind of hidden, instead of just being shown vertical.
Please fix IMDB back to how it was before. Thanks.

used to be that one could click on the year of release and get a list of all movies released in a certain year. the new format has eliminated this. this is very very very bad. help

I can no longer rate a show. A page for a show will load and then immediately go away to a page with no option to rate. Why has this changed?

In regards to the Title section at the top of the page..
I much preferred the old layout.
- having the (Year) listed in parenthesis after the title.
- the full release date and country
- the genre
These are the vitals needed at a glance
and were better being together at the top.
The giant genre buttons i'm guessing are trying catering to mobile? - but the true functionality lies in getting the INFO you need without having to go on an easter egg hunt.
If you could compromise with your old base users here by reining in this sprawl and compacting some of the bloat, I think we could deal with it.
here's a comparison gif of old vs new w/annotation.

This new page format has made everything worse, it takes longer to get the information. When your on a movie's page, and its ugly display of cast shows one bit of information and "..." that you have to click on to get the rest of the info.... "lets add more steps and make everything look circular!" whos idea is this? This change has reminded me of when the imdb.com home page was changed, that too was for the worse and I hate myself for not speaking up about it when it first changed... because its still like that and i'm unfortunately living with it...
I think a "themes" addition to the website would be the best option, giving you freedom to change things (for whatever reason) but also let people keep the efficient old style pages.
I hate how much I use and rely on this website now that they keep making it worse.
Please help.

Two specific complaints that you should address and have not. Go to the home page. Type into the search box. The letters do not appear immediately. This is so obvious, I cannot figure out why you do not know this is a problem and have not fixed it. I have fixed it. I do not go to the imdb home page, ever!
The second complaint is more basic. IMDb is not a data base. It is a compendium. It is a collection of information about movies. It does not present a database interface into that information. For example, if i want to find the movies in which Jack Nicolhson and Meryl Streep acted there is no direct way on IMDb. Google or any other search engine is more direct. If you know the title or the actor or producer or whatever, you can find it. Otherwise you are out of luck.
Why should you be concerned about how I think about your change to the interface? I am not generally a contributor. I have provided a few reviews, not under this name. Recently, I provided a correction to what I regarded to be an incorrect entry. I had seen the entry and it had bothered me for some time.
As things stand now, I would not have seen the incorrect entry.
My final word to IMdb management. Just because someone accesses a page does not mean they read what is on the page presented to them. Furthermore sometimes what they are presented on the page is so irritating they do what they can to block what they do not want to see but in the end if they cannot block what they do not want to see, they do not go to the page.

A simple question, why is it better to have the cast list in two columns rather than one? Second simple question, why is it better to have the cast pictures round rather than square? Third simple question, why are the cast entries so large?

The other problem is the All Topics bracket doesn't always load when the signal's a bit grim, well when it was a permaent sidebar, it would always be there.
Is it all designed to get more clicks to help add more spurious content, well if that's true, then why not delete all the spurious amateur content, music videos, web shows, video games, ads, fan films and audio-only content.
(After all, TMDB are doing this)

Wow. We are at 37 pages of complaints now. Please change it back. I've heard there is a way to use CSS to change pages to a previous layout and I'm sure someone can make an extension to fix this for people who actually care about the usability of the site.
