INTRODUCING: Updated IMDb.com Title page experience
We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb’s newly refreshed movie and TV show pages!

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!

Has anyone else noticed a change in the last week or so of IMDB's display of movies and people, etc? I know they've recently changed their layout of course, but it seems to be a sporadic loss of images on all pages - layout (with the updated format) is ok, but no images show.

I would also like to mention a mathemathical fact that proves that the new design is not just something as good as the previous and that it is not a matter of we just need some time to get used to it.
With the old design, you could rate a title with one click. With the new design, you need three. Open the rating window, click on the amount of stars and finally click on "Rate". This is really a bit of a nuisance for people like myself who rate a lot of titles.

hello again,
i noticed some different in the template on the same page.
sometime, tags are not at the same place , also text/story is in different location too !
why don't all movie page have the same structure and object location ?
maybe it is a leak of trailer or picture, but in this case, you should have a default picture to fill the empty place with "no picture" or "no trailer".
with the new movie page, my eyes get used to search the tags under the poster but today i discovered that they can be placed elsewhere too !
If there is 0 photo or 0 video, you should keep the area and write the "0 photo"/"0 video" strings ! do not remove the template zone and do not deplace the sections !
if there is no popularity, do not hide the area popularity, just write "no popularity in red" and keep the section !
Question : what is the use of the free space before "cast & crew" ?
Best regards

in the window (div overlay) where you can rate a movie, there is little UX problem :
when you put the cursor over a star , you do not see the number (the note) you intend to give. you have to count the stars yourself !
once you rated/clicked, of course the number is displayed but it is not userfriendly !
i might remember the previous version, and i think we can see the number with mouse over , before we rate.
best regards

IMDb has been my go to source for movie info for years now, however, new design is just horrible with extremely sloppy software development.
Not only it takes a lot longer to locate information I am looking for, but it takes eternity for the first page to load and switching between between pages takes way too long as well.
Flashy design has given away resource efficient code and unless one has access to very fast broadband and powerful computer, IMDb is becoming something that I avoid lately and I've became frequent visitor of rottentomatoes instead.

Hi,
The new site loads my ratings very very slowww.
On any page.
The old site didn't have that problem.
Tried several browsers.
Didn't make a difference.

Well... I don't know whose idea was this but current interface is a mess. I simply hated it. I mean... It's by far the worst decision made by IMDb staff.
Is there a way to use the old, classic interface?
Thank you for your answer, not for newly bad interface.
Sincerely yours...

The new design still sucks, and IMDb still doesn't care what its users want.

Floating white text on a transparent background is a spectacularly poor choice for the menus. Can you at least make that test selectable to highlight it?

I've given this (hideous) site a few weeks and it hasn't grown on me at all. I hate it as much as the first time it ever so slowly loaded on my screen. I have an i7 3.4ghz with 16g RAM... that should be enough to run a darn movie site. My latest speed test came in at just over 100mbps. THIS SITE SUCKS! Hate it - hate it - hate it

I have had a regular IMDB account for well over a decade, and I am watching a ONCE great internet resource being "tweaked" so that some metrics that show more involvement will allow someone to justify this horrid interface.
I refuse to use the new reddit interface, and luckily the old.reddit prefix allows me to use the superior old way. The main points have been made multiple times here, but allow me to ask the IMDB staff some basic questions again.
Why is there no option to view the original design, especially seeing the clear dislike of the new one? New viewers could be on the new interface without knowing the previous one, and you could keep your existing users happy.
Why are you not listening to your user base? If we are taking the time to create accounts, and offer our input, then perhaps we are more vested than a new user.
What is the reason for forcing a clear mobile design on desktop users?
Do you think that cramming advertising in everywhere will lead to revenue? I am like most and do not want ads pushed at me. Allow me to decide if I want to use up my resources.
What was the design criteria and who would have elected this? Were there other options? Did you ask your user base which flavor they preferred?
When will you admit this is bad?
Are you brave enough to take a poll?
Thanks.
