    HBO Max worth watching

    A great and very simple app to use. Once you register on their app, within a minute you are able to view all the movies and series available to watch. I had no issues viewing WONDER WOMAN 1984 on Christmas Day. Worth subscribing to!

    Great way to preview HBO Max prior to commiting longer term. They offer the latest movies and quality shows. If you decide to keep HBO Max, I'd recommend paying 69.99 for 6 months upfront to save over the monthly installment option.

    At first I was a little skeptical of the content. This has now been the go-to streaming platform in the house, next to Netflix. I love all of the DC content, and the same day theatrical releases.

    Little better than bait-and-switch

    This review is limited to the 14-day free trial for new HBO Max subscribers. To set the scene... HBO has done a big no-no in their move to digital content in that they have provided too many options, with improper and illogical segmentation, and questionable value. Their recent channels and options include HBO (vanilla, with no indicator)/Go/Now/Max. It is a nearly indecipherable mess, than nearly makes me wish I could just pay for a Dish subscription and watch that way on DVR. On to the review... Leaving aside extremely poor marketing and value, we come to the two weeks of free service. Yes, this is free, so value is called to question. However, it does require setup time and payment in case you go over. And it still does create conflict as this may not be the version of HBO's service that you want. And how much TV do you watch in two weeks? Is that a valid trial period, when even some electronics come with 30-45 days of available returns? I am going to say that I value this at a 2/5 star overall package. HBO has some great content, but have way too many options to segment it, and they are all filled with fluff and filler content in-between the actually good titles. The time frame is weak, and the streaming experience has not been great for me, even with the better part of a gigabit connection available to my house, and my streaming devices all running on wired Ethernet. Compression is a beast, and that's the reality of streaming video. The quality is only so-so, with YouTube offering some less-compressed streams for free, and Netflix offering some more advanced HDR and fancier soundtrack formats, albeit all with some compromises. If you like being baited into subscribing for streaming media, I would generally recommend Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon before I would get to this, largely for the strength of libraries. What HBO does have that is good is unique to them, and that's undeniable. But unless you want to binge it within two weeks, I wouldn't even try using the trial offer.

    Pretty amazing to just get this for free w/the purchase of so many of the movies that have been on sale for the holidays from Best Buy! Get it! Watch all of Game of Thrones during the 2 week holiday vacation and then cancel it...LOL!

    I have to say... I’m not a big fan of HBO Max. I think it started when they removed “Gone With the Wind” and essentially made people to feel like they’re racist for enjoying it. Not cool. Also, as a filmmaker and cinema lover, I’m very turned off by their decision to throw all of those filmmakers under the bus and release their films on the steaming service the same day they go into theaters. I completely understand the logic of their decision, but a better way to go about it would have been cooler. I’ve always had the upmost respect for Warner Bros. I hope this isn’t a new era that kills their place in Hollywood.

    A great deal. Could you see a first run movie for the entire family for the cost of a one month subscription ? No it would be $20 each plus treats? You just scored a great discount on first run movies.

    For being free it was great, I used it at the right time to get to watch Wonder Woman when it first appeared. It is unfortunate that it is not a 30 day trail but it was good for the time I had it.

    I got the free trial with Mad Max 4K steelbook and they got me. The content is great (hello Zack Snyder Cut of JL), and the day and date release of new theatrical movies makes it worth yet another streaming subscription.

    Used it to binge watch Game of Thrones and a bunch of other 4K movies. Now I might have to have a subscription with HBO Max. There are so many options to watch on their service.

    HBO Max has one of the best libraries of content across all of the streaming platforms. Unfortunately, corporate greed has led to it being unavailable on many of the most popular streaming devices used today, like Roku.

    HBO MAX is good but by December 25tj it’ll be great by the premiere of Wonder Woman 1984. After that, through all of 2021, Warner Bros. Will premier me their entire slate of films right here. Worth trying out for sure.

    I got this free offer with my purchase of a preordered game which was actually pretty good since we have been enjoying HBO Max for almost two weeks now and have seen some good movies. It made our purchase a little bit sweeter.

    I wasn't sure what I would bother using HBO Max for (I don't watch Game of Thrones or any other HBO shows) but I was surprised to see how much content they actually have. Ended up watching some anime and Dave Chapelle.

    Excellent really enjoyed but paying 14.99 a month on top of the cable bill it’s pricey....there is new and original,and exclusive content. HBO max wins for familiarity and big names: shows like Friends,South Park...

    I appreciate these offers, but I did not use it. I prefer not to sign up for the free trials of some service simply because it's a gimmick to get you to stay on with the service. Something I'm just not interested in......
