Hello,

On the mobile version m.imdb.com you intentionally  block the zoom and it's bad to see pictures bigger and it's against accessibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility

You have  one line to change in the HTML:
viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
-> 
viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes">



(I will never understand why sites do so stupid things. I thought accessibility was well known now.) :-(

Zoom is still locked!
Please remove this user-scalable=no, this is totally against accessibility concepts.
