Pros:
-Huge ammount of videos (and growing): literally thousands
-Several streaming options and qualities (from Low to Mega)
-Price is very reasonable (for streaming: 200 minutes for 19.95$, for example)
-Improved scene description and interface
-All kinds of niches and fetishes
-Includes movies ome of the best studios and directors (Vivid, New Sensations, Viv Thomas)
Cons:
-Not all movies are available for streaming
-If you want to "rent" movies, it's much more expensive
-Older movies have worse video quality (and worse scene tagging and description)
-Sometimes (very, very few times) a movie won't stream as expected
-No pictures (that's not really a con for me, but it may be for some people)
Bottom Line:
So, I just realized that my last review for Hot Movies "expired", so, since this is one of my favorite classics, I decided to write a new one. The fact that I am still a member of this site after more than two years should tell you that I am quite satisfied.
Basically, I think this is a site for movie streaming. You don't have pictures, and renting options are much more expensive. So you should accept the idea of watching porn online, and not "owning" it in your PC. If you can do that, this is the site for you. You have an enormous archive with tons of movies with many of the hottest actresses and from some of the best studios (Wicked Pictures being the most notable exception). And new movies are added daily (I am talking around 25 new movies a day, aprox.)
I really recommend this site, specially since it has no monthly rate: you can buy your streaming minutes and use them whenever you feel like it. Or even pay-per-view (an option I haven't used because it's more expensive). I only wouldn't recommend this site for people who want to download movies, or people who like pictures better than videos.
*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.

i don't understand. They expect me to pay 10 dollars to watch just 1 video multiple times in 5 days ? this is a joke. you can't donwload, only web streaming, just lol. all this buying minutes thing is just a horrible value compared to videobox and other download sites. it is funny that they are marketing it "no monthly fees" like it is a good thing. dude, i have to pay 100 dollars a month to you to watch the same content in videobox.
I deposited to this site once or twice and I have to admit they have the best selection of movies that fit my tastes. My tastes run towards reality, not the pseudo-reality some 'reality' sites offer. There are certainly 'production' videos. But there are many truly ametuerish videos of real people having real sex. That is not to say they aren't getting paid for it. But they obviously are not professional actors. And the quality (or lack there-of) of a good home video camera is not at all a turn off to me. It convinces me it is real.
The categorization is great, even including niches you have probably never hear of before.
But the VOD format does not work. I travel and do much of my porn viewing on the road. In spite of the claim of many hotels that they have high speed internet, they don't. So I spend my at-home time collecting videos to view while on the road. VOD won't stream fast enough on the road.
Downloads on Hot Movies, even 7 day downloads, are far too risky. I do not want to spend that kind of cash only to find out the video sucks while on the road. I usually download a few hours of video at a time, and even from the best download sites I will only find a few that really get me motivated. The rest I delete before getting even half way through. That style of viewing is impractical at Hot Movies.
I would gladly pay premium download site prices to be able to download from Hot Movies though.
If all your viewing will be through the convenience of a truly high speed connection this could be an excellent site.
since a few weeks they recycle films als "newly added", which a saw in 2009 and 2010. there are also a lot of "premium titles" with 1,67 to 3,33 minutes accounted for every minute you watch. was a good site, but in the last few months to much maximizing the profit....
Majormike mentioned this in passing - Hot Movies is part of a large series of sites all run by the same company. I'm not a fan of streaming, that's just a quirk of mine. I'd rather download a movie and either buy an unlimited time licence or just have unlimited viewing for a set period (normally 7 or 30 days).
I can agree with everyone here who recommends this site for its size. They have an amazing collection. For years I've been trying to find and watch porn that I had in my collection from 1985 to 2000 and this site has helped. If you like porn from that era they have lots there. If they don't have it, it likely isn't their fault. (Like earlier versions of Joey Silvera's "Fashion Sluts" series which appears to have been discontinued by the studio. Bad decision, studio guys.) They do have, though, a large collection of Randy West's Up and Cummers ranging from the very early to the more recent. These have always been favorites of mine and it is great to have access again. And in many cases if it is a title I really want I can buy the licence pretty cheap too.
Download speeds are average. I'm not going to make comment on video quality because I haven't viewed anything really recent, so what I've seen is probably taken from an old VHS tape. But it still very watchable.
Dollar for dollar VOD sites probably don't match big sites like Videobox or American Vice for a preson just building a collection. But for someone with a big collection already this site (and all sister sites) is an excellent way to see some different movies that aren't available.
One issue is DRM. I've always sworn that I would never have anything to do with a site that has DRM. In this case though, I'll make an exception. Hot Movies / Download 2 Own etc probably just agree to the terms set by the studio and if this is the only way I can see certain older videos then I'll live with that. In my opinion, it is still decent value.
I'd highly recommend these sites. they're easy to use and I've never had an issue.
Sign up for ten adult websites at $24.95 and that's $249.50/mo! Buy 10 DVDs? That's almost as much. And that's just TEN movies, or ten sites, sometimes featuring only one girl. Or worse, only one girl doing only one thing (i.e., posing, or using toys, etc).
I usually buy about 120-200 minutes for $14.95-$19.95 (still less than the average adult site) which usually enough minutes for me for 3-4 weeks.
And with that, I can zip from one scene in one video to another video. Without having to either pay for two different adult website membership subscriptions, or buy/rent two different DVDs.
If you "rent" a video at this site in case you want to re-watch a video for a few days, you're still looking at less than what pay adult sites cost or what renting costs.
There might be cheaper VOD sites, but none with this selection.
$34.90 is the most I may have ever spent at HotMovies.com during a certain month. But in that time, I have accessed anywhere from 10 to 20 different titles. Assuming an even mix of DVDs and pay sites, I probably have saved at least $460!
I've done the math. This site is definitely a lot more affordable that has been claimed.
Without a doubt, most sites content and certainly DVDs offer content at much higher quality video than with the 512K streams coming from this site. But it's a GREAT way to test-drive sites for their content, or DVDs you're considering buying.
I suscribed a few days ago and the download speed is not as announced. Mostly i have only 200 - 400 kbit/s. Viewing "1Mbit-Downloads" is not possible. Viewing "High-Speed"-Downlaod is only 320x240 Vidoesize with 350kbit.
this is not acceptable for this price.
I use this for many videos on their 7-day-download plan at $4.95 each. They have some fairly new releases for download, and for under $5 I can watch the movie for a week to see if I want to buy the full DVD later.
Their highest bitrate says 1mb but generally I find that the 1Mb is higher, at around 1.40Mb to 1.55Mb, and it's pretty good quality, although a 2Mb bitrate would put them over the top in their category (VOD).
I use DVD sites that have no DRM as well, but Hot Movies has much more up-to-date movies, whereas other (no DRM) DVD sites mostly have DVDs that are very old and can be found in bargain bins anywhere.
The selection of studios and genres is huge, and I have found that for this type of PPV/VOD site the prices are the best on the internet.
