Review:

Here we go with another video supersite offering the usual "1000+ movies" and "Hundreds of viewing hours."

Does that sound jaded? Maybe we are. As we're sure you know, this is a pretty crowded field by now, with some well-established major players dominating the commanding heights (or depths). The biggies are Deluxe Pass, Porn Access, VideoBox and Videosz, and the unfortunate thing for Amateur Movie Max is that all of those sites are better.

What sets this one apart? Not much. It's even put out by Gamma, who are the same people who do Porn Access. You can tell because the search function and scene descriptions are just as bad, if not worse. But in this case it's a bigger problem because the name of this site should be "Amateur Movie Max." What really makes it different from the other video networks is the fact that they aren't (mainly) burning studio DVDs, but instead collecting a lot of amateur content from other places. So you can't search by Performer or Studio because those labels don't apply. Instead you have to search by niche. Some of these gave us weird results. We searched for "Cum swallowing" and got scenes without any cum swallowing. But then we searched for "Gay"--mainly because we were wondering why they even had a gay section, since gay content is usually quarantined in another site, as was done with Gay Porn Access. The "Gay" results were weird. We found keywords like "Ondick." Any guesses as to what the fuck that means? We also saw thumbnails clearly showing two guys fucking each other with the scene description "Fascinating caucasian woman in hot deepthroat action."

Huh? Rest assured, there wasn't any woman in that scene. 

We could go on but since you can use the search function to browse the whole site without becoming a member, we suggest you try it for yourselves. You will find many "fascinating caucasian women" ("fascinating" is a word they seem to really, really like). You will also see Briana Banks described as "a woman with big natural tits" and some nameless amateur simply described as a "navel pierced person." Un-fucking-real.

The quality varies quite a bit, maybe because the video is coming from so many different sources. Most of it, however, is 320x240 and 760 kb/s (all the videos are .wmv). At least that's the high end. Not bad, but it's not spectacular either. And some of the stuff is not as good, coming in at anywhere from 400 to 500 kb/s. Content is pretty much all amateur hardcore. Like we said, a lot of it seems to have come from other sites so you'll see plenty of that old Internet stand-by the POV blowjob. The girls are mostly (skanky) amateurs, aside from the odd pornstar in a scene from some DVD they've burned.

When we visited the tour page said they were up to 1035 videos, but inside the members area it said 1018. We're not sure why there's a difference. The tour also dates the updates, but they aren't dated inside. Hmmmm . . .

Anyway, it's time for some amusement. When we were writing this review and getting links to all the other reviews of this site we could find we took a look at some of those "user comments" that people write adding their 2 cents to the review. Sometimes these are actually worth reading, but in this case they were just plain hilarious. Get a load of these:

--- This site rocks!!!! Damm, I'll need months to download all the movies on it!!! 

--- I could find everything I needed in this site! depending on my mood of the day, I was able to go to the smallest details of my search. 

--- Wow, this is simply the best site around!!! A real deal!!!

--- Oh my god, what more can I ask for? I can see whatever I want whenever I need it.

--- Holy SHIT!! Ive never had so many hot movies to choose from in one site! This is not only a site, but a MEGAsite!! Love it !

--- Holy SHIT!! How could anyone think that someone not affiliated with this site is writing this crap???

OK, we made that last one up. But only the last one!

All kidding aside, this isn't a bad site. And it's nice of them to offer a trial rate. But in terms of quantity, quality, presentation, and functionality it doesn't measure up to the other major video networks, and it's coming in at the same price. Its main selling point is the fact that it's an almost all amateur video network. Of course this also means that the girls aren't as good looking and the video isn't as well produced, but it does target a slightly different niche. So if you're a big fan of cheap blowjob videos it's probably worth a look. For everyone else we'd suggest sticking with the obvious alternatives.
