If you're still confused, here's CNET's walk through that attempts to explain it all.

Bob Greenblatt, who is in charge of HBO Max, said today that eventually Go and Now will merge and become only HBO Max.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
I don’t understand what’s different? They just have some older Cinemax series’ and new Kendrick one and WB movies and stuff? What’s the big deal?

Friends Reunion show coming. More exclusive series on the way. Snyder Cut.
Most importantly, no extra cost, just the same price as HBO.

Boy do they have a vast amount of Criterion titles, even down to that massive Olympics collection. Yeah, this is a massive library they have here. All the Godzilla films....so much stuff.

But like I suggested here, no Criterion licensing or designations. Felt that was too in conflict with the Criterion streaming service to allow.

Which is pretty weird. With Cinemax all but dead, HBO should have incorporated them into Max. I bet some people will be more enticed to sub to HBO Max is they include Cinemax and their library of After Max (Skinemax) films.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
I'm aware, but stuff like the Olympics collection isn't something you would find anywhere else for the most part. It's basically a good chunk of Criterion titles sans label, as you stated.

They're basically the bastard child of HBO now.

I watched 3 episodes of the new Looney Toons. They were pretty fun to watch. They run about 12 minutes each.
I also watched the Pilot of the new show Love Life and it was decent. I'll finish the next 2 later.

Right. It's the combining of all of their libraries added to their HBO content that's a big deal.

I still have Cinemax and they're pretty much the clutch hitter of my bundled streaming media. I have it bundled with HULU for $4.99 per month right now. I also have Starz for $4.99 via HULU.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
So if I subscribe to HBO through Optimum do I have this for free? Or if I have Hulu, but not hbo through that.
And I have HBO Go which has all the series’ like Oz, Wire, GoT, etc. What else could I need. If free fine, I’ll check it out, but too much to watch anyway. I’ll try Love Life, but that’s it.

Yup. Optimum has free. Watching first ep of Friends on android Sony tv. Bit it plays like it’s in real life and I have subtitles that I can’t get off...

Fun little channel. Easy navigable menus. Nice HD. Not bad for nothing. Fixed the subs and pic. First Friends looks really good. Nice I got on iPhone and tv. Will try amazon stick tomorrow.

I can confirm that I get HBO Max for free with my AT&T fiber internet. I'm impressed with the content selection. Looking forward to watching some HBO shows I always wanted to watch and checking out some of the TCM content as well.

It doesn't work on Amazon Fire Stick or on Roku - basically two-thirds of home streaming devices. We have discussed it at length here.

2020 and no setting to disable auto play.
I even looked from the browser like Netflix hides it.
Hobbit and LOTR are the theatrical versions. No extended cuts of BvS and Suicide Squad.

Regarding the Hobbit, it's boggles my mind that they only have two of the three movies and those two are apparently leaving soon.
