  • ireadthestory Er (@ireadthestory) reported

    @hbomax @GalGadot @PattyJenks That movie sucked. Do better DC. Marvel set the expectations high but that doesn’t mean lower your quality

  • abbasbashir1908 Abbas B (@abbasbashir1908) reported

    @SeguinJulian @hbomax @ZackSnyderBible It’s true it should be in the uk but I’ve heard the movies awful anyways so maybe we saved some time

  • hmblwrldtrvlr Brian/Muzi 🇺🇸 🇿🇦 (@hmblwrldtrvlr) reported

    @AlsoWonderWoman @hbomax Thanks for the advice... However, I don't have a console.... It should work regardless...

  • GrrrlRomeo Michelle (they/them) 🏳️‍🌈 (@GrrrlRomeo) reported

    @GailSimone @PattyJenks @hbomax I want tooooooo. But my wife is at work and I want to watch it with her.

  • DJVANTEE Brian Christie (@DJVANTEE) reported

    @_gwblake @HBOMaxHelp Exact same here..signal is strong, other movies work great, restarted everything but movie is choppy.

  • vickylynnd Vicky DiPietro (@vickylynnd) reported

    @msbutterfly1283 @hbomax Don’t waste your time, it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen!

  • AlsoWonderWoman Wonder Woman 🐝 Biden/Harris Won! (@AlsoWonderWoman) reported

    @hbomax My HBO max just stopped and now I have an error message even while it's playing behind it.

  • neverluckynat Teresa♑️ (@neverluckynat) reported

    REALLY @hbomax FIX THIS!!!!!!! 😡 #WW84WatchParty

  • JPFnyc Jeff Flynn (@JPFnyc) reported

    @hbomax Awful - a manic drunk who is pretty dumb & obnoxious made me wish the killer had offed her just for the mercy of the viewers.

  • bricksandmordor Bricks and Mordor (@bricksandmordor) reported

    is anyone else having trouble playing #WW84 on the @hbomax website?

  • iRetroJr Al Ramos Jr (@iRetroJr) reported

    @hbomax why can’t I watch Wonder Women 84? Keeps saying error

  • DJVANTEE Brian Christie (@DJVANTEE) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @ndrewharman Same exact same issue here. Roku TV with playback issues. Any other movie works on HBO Max, signal is excellent, restarted router, restarted TV. Works on my computer but not my TV...sucks.

  • DJVANTEE Brian Christie (@DJVANTEE) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Same as everyone else. Have a newer Roku 65”. Signal is strong, other movies work great, restarted WiFi, restarted TV and network settings, but movie is choppy. Can’t watch it. When will the update happen???

  • KAMurphy9500 Kimberley Ann Murphy (@KAMurphy9500) reported

    @hbomax Why am I getting an error code when I go to play Wonder Woman 1984? #techfail

  • MarlaSaret Marla Saret (@MarlaSaret) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @HBOMaxHelp I can watch other shows and movies on HBOMax, but am getting an error message now halfway through @WonderWomanFilm. Help!

  • newyorker2021 Moderate Lenses (@newyorker2021) reported

    @hbomax @GalGadot @PattyJenks I can’t get back time wasted watching this awful movie.

  • Amthyre_ Amthyre (@Amthyre_) reported

    @hbomax @GalGadot @PattyJenks Must suck to have real time critical remarks. But, she has already been paid. And she can only work with what she is given. This was a **** script and a step down from the 1st one. Also, did any writers give a **** about continuity? " .. walked away a 100 years ago.."

  • dcon93 Devin Conwell (@dcon93) reported

    @hbomax has got to be the worst streaming service performance wise. Can’t watch an episode of anything without buffering or crashing.

  • AlsoWonderWoman Wonder Woman 🐝 Biden/Harris Won! (@AlsoWonderWoman) reported

    @hmblwrldtrvlr @hbomax I had the same problem on my xfinity. Switched to the app on Playstation and it's working fine now for me.

  • SabrinaMonet 𝚂𝚊𝚋𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚝 (@SabrinaMonet) reported from Vallejo, California

    @hbomax I am going on day 2 of #WonderWoman1984 not loading for me. Anyone else having this problem?

  • RichGoldman7371 Richard Goldman (@RichGoldman7371) reported

    @hbomax @GalGadot @PattyJenks It was absolutely awful. I immediately put my IPad down as it ended, said "feh" and turned on the TV.

  • busterdheyman Doug Heyman (@busterdheyman) reported

    @hbomax Sorry but that movie was awful!

  • DarkNookShop Darknook (@DarkNookShop) reported

    @archer_rayshawn @hbomax I'm running it on PC. Tho I followed every step in their little help guide. Other titles run fine, it's just WW1984 that won't play. So it's obviously a server issue on their end. Apparently this is happening for a lot of people. They were not ready for this level of demand.

  • ninjagatto75 NinjaGatto (@ninjagatto75) reported

    @hbomax The only emotion was “is this over yet.” Awful

  • HitcH_55 HitcH (@HitcH_55) reported

    @JeighNeither @Commonsense107 @hbomax Writing was awful, CGI was terrible, actors phoning it in

  • cubs2084 cubs2084 (@cubs2084) reported

    @hbomax Your Roku app has issues. When I go to a whole category (DC, HBO Originals, etc) alphabetically, it stops about halfway.

  • f57b4649bd914b9 Asad Hafeez Yousufi (@f57b4649bd914b9) reported

    @hbomax Terrible performance issue, blue distortion, video freezing while audio running, unable to sell back and forth and have to restart video several times. I have 1gbps Internet via ATT, no internet issues at all.

  • College58607546 College Football Know-It-All (@College58607546) reported

    @hbomax @GalGadot @PattyJenks Awful movie. By all means, don’t get an HBO Max subscription just for this

  • FR34KN_A JG (@FR34KN_A) reported

    @Dario_Melendez We liked it. Probably would have been a whole lot cooler to see it in 3D in a theater than on @HBOMaxHelp that needed to buffer 87 god damn times.

  • chopper2424 Eric Alan (@chopper2424) reported

    @a_sumbel @hbomax Aquman was the worst IMO,this runs a close second. Disappointed as I liked the first one. Marvel knows how to do it.
