Feature Set:  

This service has an extensive database of information on movies including an excellent review section, which is divided into three useful areas. "We Say," gives a letter grade from movies.com, "You Say," offers a grade from consumers, as well as consumer comments and "Critics Say," provides an average of the critics' grades. You can also read various critics' reviews on all of the current films. Movies.com provides you with a number of ways to search movies, including by area, theater, movie, genre, rating and date. Once you find the show you're looking for, the service will direct you to movietickets.com to purchase the tickets. Check out "Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony," for some laughs.

Theaters/Locations:  

Because movies.com works in partnership with movietickets.com, you can buy tickets to 46 different movie theater chains. Use the search box to easily search your area to find a theater near you.

Price:  

Movetickets.com adds a $1.00 service fee to the original price of each ticket. Because you'll access movietickets.com through movies.com the fee will not be waived.

Ease of Use:  

There is a search box conveniently located on the homepage where you can easily search either for movie tickets or the entire site. The website is well organized, so you'll find what you're looking for regardless of your level of computer literacy. Nevertheless, give yourself a few extra minutes while booking a show—you're bound to get caught up in the amusing aspects of this site.

Customer Service:  

Movies.com offers customer support through FAQs, an online form and a mailing address. This support is just for the movies.com website. If you want customer support for purchasing tickets, you'll have to contact movietickets.com.

Over 83,000 people access movies.com each month to read up-to-date news and reviews on their favorite movies, and we think you'll agree-this is a movie-lovers paradise. However, if you're just looking to buy tickets and don't want the entertainment frills, check out the gold and silver sites.
