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.

Nice touch with with the teal color for both sides in "reference view".
I'm still hoping for a "link" on the right side menu panel for a "more like this" category.

Old list format for artists was much better, easier to read, easier to use. I don't like the new format at all.

hi,
i wish to add a new problem on the top banner adv : there is no HTML target on BLANK ! when we click on a banner, we leave IMDB !
every ad banner, specially the big first , should be in _BLANK target mode !
Best regards

You have changed it to accomodate mobile screens. Would you be interested in maintaining an option for the old format. This looks Mickey Mouse. Not enough data visible.

hi,
there is a duplicate feature page and a adv error .
in the front page of a movie, you can see the gallery of photo .
when you click on "Photos" link, you go to a page which display the same information.
Yes the gallery is in a square, not in a slider conponent, but it is the same information. so what is the meaning of this page ?
As i said in the beginning of my message there is bug on the adv on the text-align: center;">
i click on it and it went to a normal active website, so the problem is there is no visual or error in the frame.
here is the F12 console error :
and here the source code from the FRAME of the ad (only body part tag) :
<body> <div id="ad" class="ad js-ad"> <div id="banner" class="banner js-banner"> <img id="bg1" src="bg1.jpg" class="bg1 js-bg1"> <img id="bg_end" src="bg_end.jpg" class="bg_end hidden js-end js-fr_end"> <img id="fr1_txt1" src="fr1_txt1.png" class="img_full hidden txt js-fr1_txt1 fr1"> <img id="fr1_txt2" src="fr1_txt2.png" class="img_full hidden txt js-fr1_txt2 fr1"> <div id="white-layer-bottom" class="white-layer js-white-layer-bottom"></div> <div id="white-layer-left" class="white-layer js-white-layer-left"></div> <div id="white-layer-right" class="white-layer js-white-layer-right"></div> <img id="cta" src="cta.png" class="img_full txt hidden js-cta"> <img id="logo" src="logo.png" class="img_full js-logo"> <img id="logo-blue" src="logo_blue.png" class="img_full hidden js-logo-blue"> </div> <div class="border js-border full"></div> <a href="void(window.open(window.clickTag));" id="clickTag" class="clickTag js-clickTag full"></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> "use strict"; var $BANNER = ((function() { // jQuery Fake var $ = function(slt) { return document.querySelector(slt); } // HELPERS OBJECT var HELPERS = { "GSAP": { "STATUS": true, "VERSION": "", "URLS": [ 'https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/cached_libs/tweenmax_1.19.1_92cf05aba6ca4ea5cbc62b5a7cb924e3_min.js' ] }, "ADS": { "WIDTH": "300", "HEIGHT": "250", }, "SCREEN": { "WIDTH" : window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.body.clientWidth || document.body.offsetWidth, "HEIGHT": window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight || document.body.clientHeight || document.body.offsetHeight }, "DOMS": {}, "EVENTS": { "CLICK": (function() { if ('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement === true) return 'touchstart'; else return 'click'; })(), "MOVE": (function() { if ('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement === true) return 'touchmove'; else return 'mousemove'; })() }, "STATUS": true }; var timers = 0; var Tween; // Pre-load Libraries function startAds() { switch(HELPERS.GSAP.STATUS) { case false: loadAssets(); break; default: loadScripts(HELPERS.GSAP.URLS, loadAssets); break; } } // Pre-load Assets function loadAssets() { preloadImages([ 'bg1.jpg', 'bg_end.jpg', 'cta.png', 'fr1_txt1.png', 'fr1_txt2.png', 'logo_blue.png', 'logo.png' ], mainDOM); } // DOMs function mainDOM() { HELPERS.GSAP.VERSION = window.TweenMax != undefined ?

IMDB is my favorite website and app, and I visit it on my computer and phone more than other apps. That said, the recent UX update on the website is the worst. There's so much loading of promos when you get there, it takes way too long to accomplish a search because everything's popping up, loading and/or blocking things. It's too much and a mess.
This design only suits IMDB and is very thoughtless to users so now when I visit the site on my computer it's a frustrating experience instead of a positive one. Would love them to consider downscaling some of the more obnoxious promotional items that appear on the home page per the redesign and make this a good site again.
