The new MetaCritic

[Guest Mirezzi]

Dreadful. Another great site is now circling the drain along with the rest of Web 2.0 bullshit.

[remy marathe]

yeah it's really annoying

[Guest analogue wings]

ugh it's just like engadget. saturated primary colours everywhere, HUGE fonts in the sidebars pulling your eyes away from the actual main shit. mongy sidebars that probably looked schweet in the mockups but which they're struggling to fill with useless "content" no one gives a fuck about...

 

fuck i actually have to scroll to see the main content

[GORDO]

looks like a mess. i can't understand how to use it. fuck them.

[Guest Echo]

Putting user reviews right next to critic reviews. Fucking masterpiece.

You used to be able to see at a glance the scores of like 25 movies... now you get get to see... 5... and another 5 below.

 

They have also added a imdb-like database, which could be useful, since it shows the scores for a given actor/director. Annoying that they felt they needed to invent yet another movie database instead of striking a deal with imdb though.

 

The comments here are universally negative:

found this in the comments: http://apps.metacritic.com/ it's the old one.

yeah its a little confusing. I'm glad someone made this thread because I was thinking the same thing. I'll just use the old one.

I think it looks pretty good, and I like the new features. Embrace the change!
