HBO Max launched

[CastletonSnob]

HBO Max launched yesterday.

Here's a look at everything that's available right now: https://play.hbomax.com/page/urn:hbo...iteUserProfile

I spent all day watching shows on HBO Max. While I'm disappointed by the lack of old Cartoon Network shows, there's still MORE than enough content to keep me happy.

Just a heads-up, HBO Max is not available on Roku or FireStick at the moment, and does not support 4K or HDR.

Did you get HBO Max yesterday? Are you interested?

I was notified today that I apparently get a free 30 day trial with my phone plan.

I have not signed up yet.

The people I know who have it are raving about the new Looney Tunes show.

Not available in Canada, but most of the original content will be coming to Crave in the near future. Don't know where all of the older stuff will be going, but a lot of it is still on Netflix for the foreseeable future like Friends is. I'm assuming most of the upcoming animated content will air on Teletoon.

How not to launch a streaming service!

Not on roku or amazon. The two biggest ones!

Half the stuff they bragged was going to be on launch isn't.

List of stuff getting removed aready!

People hating the interface online!

Most pre 2000 films shoved into the tcm page so you have commando next to gone with the wind!

If you don't turn off "pg-13" in the kids section you get the dark knight returns animated films next to seseme street and jetsons!

Early look had folders for tnt, tbs, boomerang and others and they are not here making them harder to find. Also no folders for godzilla and other big ips? There are 7 police academy films on there!

No "WB and mgm movies" page as everything is shoved into hbo or tcm!

Watched videos of people in the movie buisness and they have slammed it for calling it hbo max. People are confused with THREE hbo apps. John campea even said he had explain it to people in hollywood!

WB has it's own wii-u! It should have been called WB max! Yes it has hbo but also has tnt, tbs, cartoon network and others. Disney plus is not called marvel plus, muppet plus or star wars plus. It's DISNEY plus! This is a huge fail.

Not having any big new shows at launch!

No 4k or extras. (not ever the trailer?)


And looks like the launch did not do well!

I pre ordered it for studio ghibili alone. Shame i have a roku and can't watch it on my living room tv.

$15.99 for a service that doesn't offer 4K or HDR? $15.99 for a service that isn't available for Roku (which I use)? Hard pass for me.

I thought that was weird since the beginning. In fact, the way that Warner Media has handled streaming services was already weird. They've already launched two niche services before this, which is weird as it is. Boomerang, which doesn't have nearly everything it should in its library considering the size of their cartoon catalog. And DC Universe which is weird in a couple of ways. It has some notable gaps in its library either because it intentionally left out movies people were embarrassed by or because of preexisting deals (for example, I went looking for Batman Forever and it wasn't there). Not sure which it was. And . . . Who is the service for besides DC Comics fans? The DC Universe originals has focused on grown-up fare like Titans, Swamp Thing and Doom Patrol but its back catalog is filled with old children's cartoons.

Well, hopefully they get their crap together eventually.
