INTRODUCING: Updated IMDb.com Title page experience

Where is the Content Advisory Page? Why is it not there? Why did IMDB change the format? Why did they make a mess of it? When can we go back to the old style?

I am not able to add, from the title page, a movie to a list (or lists) that I have already created. Formerly I could just click on the "+" sign and now that doesn't work. Can you explain how I can accomplish this now?

Marketing must have thought: We'll make it nice and neat'.

I think: Another failed attempt to improve a GUI by simply making the fonts bigger, expand empty spaces, change actor's pics to a groooooovy round shape and so forth.

Bottom line for me: It lost the appeal to offer a quick look on movie details and leaves you lost in a black and white desert.

If you had instead put a liiiitle effort into making some real improvements (display the movie ratings in an actor's movie list, for starters), THAT would have deserved a cheer.

No offense, but there is too much scrolling on the new site.  The old site was more compact and easier to navigate.  The size of the character photos and names has a lot of wasted space, as well as most of the other segments of the page.  I preferred the old page.

I have been a regular user of IMDB.com for more than two decades probably and I am sorry, but I am saddened by your new format. I wondered if you might take a poll from your users/staff to consider your previous user-friendly format? Now, it's hard to immediately see the stars/Metacritic appears to be out of view or gone and the screen is so huge that you have to scroll through lots of stuff to get to the director, etc. At the very least, maybe you could consider putting the stars/ratings directly under the title of the movie as previously as the place the ratings are in now is an unfortunate place to put them. Thank you for considering taking a poll of your users opinions and this comment.

Terrible. Poorly conceived. Looks like something ten-year-olds might think is neat, but just annoying for anyone with a normal adult intelligence. Nowhere near as useful as the old version. Now I have to click around to find what used to be clearly displayed on the landing page. It's as badly thought out as a Microsoft product.

Sorry for saying it, but every time IMDB decides to change the movie page  it is for worst.

Why impose what we must see instead let us to choose? 

Some people like to see technical infos about the movie instead people fan club things.  Is it a movie page or people page? 

At least put a "view old page" option for us.

You guys woke up and chose ugly ,huh? Its not so much that we all hate change or afraid of change  its that you have made the site as un- user friendly, and ugly as possible. It is  frustratingly over sized and clunky.  So disappointing. 

Please change it back

Really? This "New Look" is VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE. It's useless! Seriously WTF

Whoever thought of / designed this / signed off on this crap should be taken out back and shot

This is terrible, what a waste of space, looks horrible.

Takes longer to scroll through and is extremely unpleasant to use and look at. I never watch the trailer on imdb, so I don't like it so big. I only look at the rating, synopsis and trivia - that's it. But now the trailer, pictures, cast and "more like this" have been bloated up so it's very inconvenient to scroll past them. How does "more like this" section having bigger pictures make it faster and easier to use? It was fine before, now it's like an seniors' mobile phone with extremely large buttons. Website feels dumbed down, like a kids' cartoon home page. I wish there was an option to change back to the old interface, otherwise I'm just going to use the website a lot less and get the info I need from Wikipedia.

I assume the goal was to make it slower to use so that people would spend more time on the website? 

As others have said the new layout takes up too much space and involves a lot more scrolling and clicking of links to find relevant information.

Fonts are too big as are photos and videos.

This just isn't going to be a case of getting used to something new, it really is harder to find what you want. Would really prefer going back to the original, more compact design if we could.

My fear is that this new method for listing cast will be implemented on the /fullcredits page.

I, too, dislike all the extra white space on the title page, and the double columns for cast, but adopted it months ago for the increased utility of adding the title to lists. (I would frequently switch back for other things.) And I complained about these things immediately when the trial version of the new title page was made available.

Now I tend to click away from the title page fairly quickly to find other things I want, like who played character x, or what's the name of the character played by y.

If all sub-pages of a title (and perhaps the name pages too) are going to be implemented in the same fashion as the Home Page and the Title Page, then the IMDb site really could become unusable.

Please add a possibility to switch back to the old design.
