    4 Stars Cinema Schminema Review with images 05/01/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good choice of packages, efficient, good and stable online streaming

    Disadvantages Disadvantages DVDs occasionally damaged, sneakily trying to get you to upgrade, box set discs only 1 at a time

    Love films? Hate piracy? Arrrr me hearties, shiver me timbers. Then naturally, as upstanding citizens, we should all go to the cinema to satisfy our movie needs instead of watching illicitly pirated copies of the latest films. Oh yeah, apart from that small fact that it now costs a bomb, probably on average about £10, to have that pleasure of sitting in an uncomfortable seat getting a numb bum watching all the action unfurl on a big screen, not to mention the extortionate prices for refreshments or often being forced to pay extra to watch it all in 3D which just makes you feel slightly ill ... more

    2 Stars Love Film? Hate LoveFilm! Review with images 03/04/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Competitively priced, huge range of discs, rapid support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Damaged discs, lost discs, dodgy postal service

    An unforeseen casualty of the Internet, the traditional DVD/video rental shop has all but disappeared off the face of the UK high street, save for the mighty presence of Blockbuster video. I don't think we ever really used to see video or DVD rental as a particularly expensive thing until the likes of Love Film came along and made us all realise just how much money we were paying for the occasional film rental. Membership of LoveFilm Love Film is probably the market leader for online DVD rental in the UK. Heavily marketed, there are always offers on introductory memberships, and if you don't ... more

    4 Stars Love film? Well you might also love this subscription service. 21/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages large catalogue of films and games, picked online, delivered to your door.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some scratched discs, takes ages to get new releases.

    Lovefilm is a subscription service which most people nowadays seem to have an awareness of. We personally took out a subscription in January 2005. We had done some christmas shopping at Boots.com, and inside the parcel was a flyer advertising the service. If we went in and subscribed using a code on the flyer we could have boots points and then further points for every month we paid for. It seemed a no brainer to us that we should at least try this service as it would not cost us anything for at least a month, and then if we liked it the costs were not that extortionate to carry on using the ... more

    5 Stars Film lovers love LoveFilm Review with images 29/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge selections of films

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I'll come back to you on that (in other word, none !)

    There have been a growth in DVD hire websites over the past few years providing a different service to what we all used to for many years before that - the traditional but unconventional video stores. With video stores, we hired perhaps a couple of films for £2-3 each for a stated period of time, usually a night or two. How many times we all have done this, we panicked, realising that we have forgotten to take the videos/dvd back to the store and rushing at night time to post them, phew - won't have to pay late fee. Once or twice, I even sent some back after not having time to watch it for ... more

    2 Stars Lovefilm.com: A Short Affair 25/05/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good concept; reasonably priced.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor availability of popular DVDs; too many broken or unplayable.

    Lovefilm.com is now the biggest online DVD rental service, with hundreds of new users each signing up each week. Is it the greatest thing since sliced bread or the biggest waste of space since minidisk (the betamax for the i-pod generation)? Here I share the story of my brief romance with Lovefilm. I should say at the outset that this wasn’t my first flirtation with online DVD rental. I’ve not exactly been promiscuous in this respect, but I did use amazon.co.uk’s online rental scheme for 6 months or so back in 2007. I ended that relationship and fled the country. Amazon’s DVD rental arm has ... more

    4 Stars Fall in Love with It 01/12/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap and easy way to rent DVD's, good customer service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages When the company makes mistakes, you lose money + the customer is pampered only at first

    > This is very easy; all you have to do is to give your name, address, and payment method, in addition to your email address and password, and you are given 14 days free rental of your choice. > The website is very easy to navigate and everything you need is at your finger tips. The main six tabs on the left include: 1- Home: in which you find your recommendations which are based on what you rented and liked before, new releases, popular links and so on. 2- Browse titles: action, comedy, drama, adult (don't believe it), etc. 3- My rental list: which is the most important section, and I will ... more

    2 Stars LoveFilm? You won't love this company 23/09/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good free trial, no catches, good selection of DVD's available

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Take money as they like, poor customer service, shambles

    To be honest, I was always quite wary of using an online DVD rental company, thinking that there had to be some sort of catch for the good prices, and the service that they offered. But when I got a free trial offer for 2 weeks a few months ago, I decided it was worth having a go for 2 weeks to see what I thought. The company offering me the trail was LoveFilm.com, which is, according to their website, Europe's No. 1 online DVD rental service. I thought this sounded quite hopeful so on I went. When I reached the homepage of the site, I found that I didn't actually need the coupon code that I ... more

    4 Stars Do I? 19/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages rent 3 Dvd or games at once, get free trial when you join, easy navigation

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the Dvds or games could be scratched, you got to have acess to the internet

    I never really knew about love film.com till summer 2007. At my work place they were offering free little gifts to the members of staff and you had to choose one thing you wanted. All the options seemed boring and some of them were just too expensive in a way that it was 10% off a £2,000 TV which I don't even need. However, I noted the one that said a whole months of free DVD rentals on lovefilm.com. I therefore decided to take up the offer. Registering to the site was not too complicated at all. All you need to do is give them the home address of were the DVDs or games are going to be ... more

    4 Stars LOVEFILM? WHY, YES I DO! 21/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick services, very good tariffs, good customer services

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Depedence on Royal Mail,. . That's it!

    I started subscribing to the film company when I realised I couldn't sustain my love for film by watching them on tv. Face it, it's pretty dire, even on Film4. I haven't looked back yet, the only times I've had to stop subscribing during my exams and most of the university year when I couldn't afford to pay for DVDs I rarely watched. For example, I was given a DVD on April 20th and I gave it back on 21st of June! Essentially, I paid 2 months' worth of membership on two films. - SIGNING UP - In order to sign up as a new member, you have to click on the FREE trial link which does attract a lot ... more
