    I'm guessing the review title caught you off-guard. I got this as a promo with my 4K "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" disc with the intention of activating it for "Wonder Woman 1984". My "free trial" lasted no more than a day because HBO Max has one of the BEST back catalogs of any streaming service out there (can't really count Disney+ because Disney is its own world of programming). The interface is simple but easy to navigate. Unlike Netflix, there is a full A-Z listing for each category. The only negative I've encountered is the lack of 4K UHD and Dolby Vision/Atmos support for game consoles (I use the streaming apps on my Xbox One X), but even at 1080p HD the streaming image is good. Yes, it's one of the more expensive services out there ($15/month), but it has the content to back it up!

    Service worked great for the period we used it. Good mix of TV and movies for viewing but we weren't ready to commit to signing up for a longer period of time. Nothing against the service -- timing just wasn't right.

    HBO Max: One of the Better Streaming Libraries

    HBO Max is definitely worth subscribing to, especially if you are a film-buff. Besides recent releases, you have access to a plethora of classic films (personally, I've been working my way through a bunch of Charlie Chaplin shorts and features). This isn't even mentioning the bevy of quality shows HBO has produced, and other brands they have acquired. I was already a subscriber, so I didn't need to use this 14 day trial, but it is cool Best Buy included it with certain purchases. Two weeks is enough time to check out a couple of shows (depending on how many seasons it has) and/or a few movies; if you don't find much to watch you can just unsubscribe at the end of the trial. HBO Max is one of the streaming services I use most, therefore I would recommend checking it out, at the very least.

    HBO Max is a great service with tons of new movies and shows and just as much nostalgia stuff from places like cartoon network. One of my favorite streaming services.

    HBO Max is good out of the gate but could improve

    HBO Max is an excellent up-and-coming streaming service with tens of thousands of hours of content available from classic films on the TCM hub, Cartoon Network shows, Adult Swims, plus Sesame Street, and Warner Bros' entire 2021 theatrical slate of films also available on the service for the first 30 days of their release. It was just recently made available for Fire TV devices so its initial version could use some buffering fixes, but with 4K and Dolby Atmos support coming in time for "Wonder Woman 1984"'s release on Christmas Day, I feel like that issue will be addressed as well. I have the service free with my AT&T Unlimited Data plan and its been a great source of entertainment in 2020.

    This is free HBO Max subscription for 14 days enough said. If you plan to use it at right moment you might save a lot by having access to many movies that are current released at theaters and a good DC collection (series, movies). It also has some anime and quite some repository of movies and shows which no where near Netflix but still worth watching. I highly recommend to DC fans as it has whole lot of content for them. The only downfall in continuing HBO Max is it's subscription cost which does not add up with content they are adding each month but if you want to watch WB movies at home when they launch at theaters then it's the right subscription for you.

    HBO Max is the best streaming service right now

    I was very reluctant on trying yet another streaming service expecting it to be just like all the others (flooded with their own lame original content) but I am happy to say that I am glad I got to try this one out. This is the best streaming service out right now. It has a great selection of movies and great tv shows for pretty much everyone and you get in theater releases every month at NO extra cost (looking at you Disney+). Even their own originals are actually good and seem focused on quality over quantity (*cough* Netflix) This has easily become the most used streaming service in my household.

    HBO MAX what else needs to be said , not sure if it's 4k but my receiver up scales anyway what is a good picture with good sound and placement, excellent choices of movies,series,documentary and animated stories, plus got to watch Wonder Woman 84 Christmas day, I think all will be happy with this service, With so much to watch and they add to selection to keep it fresh, my favorites Dr Who (NuWho)Torchwood and DC universe, would and do recommend this to family members and friends, free didn't hurt either ( did I mention free for 15days ???) Yeah and this is a no brainer will be paying for this in the end happily

    HBO max was great for the the trial period. However, HBO Max seems be mostly for younger kids & younger adults up to mid 35's, due to all of the kids cartoons and adult cartoons from DC. If you enjoy DC movies you will love HBO max, if you like cartoon network and TCM and regular HBO and amimia cartoons you will Love HBO-Max. However, movies that just came out to theaters will only last 1 month, meaning if you wanted to see certain movies you may have to wait until they come out on DVD or Blue-Ray, if you missed them on HBO-Max

    Chromecast doesn't work in the HBO MAX App

    I don't reccomend subscribing to HBO Max because the Chromecast button wouldn't work to cast the movie to my TV from my phone. I did all the troubleshooting and even used my Smart View button and tried with my computer, but still the HBO Max app didn't work. I thought there was some issue with my phone but not so because my YouTube, Tubi TV, and Starz App casted just fine with no problem. The HBO Max app would only cast the purple HBO Max homescreen, but wouldn't show the movie. Totally disappointed. Luckily it was only the free trial.

    HBO MAX is probably the best streaming service out there. It provides a great catalog of movies and series that will interest everyone. From DC animated series, shows, and movies to live action ones. Adult swim, cartoon network, and studio Ghibli. As well as, Original shows and movies from the streaming service itself. Oh, and don't forget it's very own HBO Originals such as Sopranos, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Mare of East Town, Silicon Valley, Sharp Objects, True Detective, and more. Recommend it.

    It was nice to get an opportunity to experience HBO Max for free for 14 days. Lots of great movies and programs on HBO Max, the service is easy to navigate, and the streaming video quality is great. It's a little pricey for my budget, but I may sign up for HBO Max for a month at a time in the future to binge-watch movies and shows I've heard about and missed. Some programs worth checking out: "The Undoing," and The Bee Gees documentary. Wonder Wonder 1984 ("WW84"), not so much.
