Summary:
The real test of any site is the content of the movies, but a close second to me is the site's usability from a user's perspective. after using the site first, and scanning quite a few of the scenes (not getting too "review minded" on them), I found the site delivers pretty even keel across both of the aforementioned fronts. Although there were a few things I didn't like though. Things like the download limits (which I understand, but just don't like), the "up & down" download speeds and the spread out scene release dates. But overall, the site's usability and the quality of scenes outweigh the bad. And from the perspective as a reviewer, the idea of reviewing the movies certainly piqued my interest! So an looking at the "full retail price" ($30 a month), it's a little steep since you only get 5 or 6 updates a month, it's a little rough to swallow since other sites are offering daily updates (and sometimes multiple updates) at the same price or cheaper. However, doing some light rummaging around you can find some deals on the site and puts it in a great spot; I've seen as low as $8 a month! So, overall, I'd easily recommend it, but keep an eye out for a deal!

Review
Once logged in, you are dumped into a very area that lists out the latest DVDs, latest scenes, the most popular scenes, upcoming updates, the most popular models, the most popular photos
and the most popular scenes. Additionally there were some news, such as "The Booty Movies 4 is COMING" and some a suggested website. Then there were also some additional navigation options
to list all photos, scenes, DVDs, models, categories, deals (idealgasm.com) and bonus videos from Mr. Skin, Vivid, Combat Zone and a LOT more. I was impressed
with how much bonus content was given, if the count was right (I didn't check), there was 13,704 movies (73,491 scenes)! And of course, there was a search feature which worked pretty well from
my view, based on the words I searched, I always got relevant scenes back. My only issue here was once you started to dive into the site, there was no way to get back to
the main page; the one you got when you first logged in.
Jumping over to the DVD section, it lists all the DVDs available from Arch Angel by name, but you can re-sort them by popularity or most recant. Each movie gives a synopsis, an average
rating, which is determined by the users, a list of all the scenes in the movie and a comments section. Pretty straight forward stuff, but I would have liked the scenes to be numbered and/or
in order like they were in the movie. Additionally, I would have liked the ability to get bigger box covers, along with a back cover.
Like the landing page, each scene page was pretty busy. There was a synopsis, when the scene was added, its average member rating, a way to favorite it, what DVD it came from, all the categories
it contained, along with the cast and comments. Additionally, there were dropdowns to set what quality (240, 480, 720, 1080) for streaming and also a dropdown that allowed you to select the
same quality mentioned before, but for download. Some movies did allow you to download individual (3 minutes) clips, but this seemed to be a newer feature as not all the scenes had them. Nothing
groundbreaking here, but it's exactly what to expect from a top-end site. Lots of options to get to the movie (download/streaming) in various qualities and the ability for the users to show
their like/dislike for the scene with comments. However, I did have some issues I came across... The download seemed to be slow at times. I have a 300Mbps service, and some would come in at
200Mbps, however some would come in even slower clocking in at about 12Mbps. I'm not sure why either. I made sure all other web traffic was at a minimum and such, but it was random. I even
tried downloading the same scene several times, and sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was slow, with no real rhyme or reason. Also, there's a maximum of 4 simultaneous downloads, regardless
if it's picture zips or movies you are downloading.
