Cmcm5

Not that I'm really expecting anyone to actually read my reviews, however, if you are (thank you!), I previously wrote a piece about 8gw.com, a website that offers free streaming of videos, and this review is about a similar website, cmcm5.com.

Personally, I'm rather wary of websites that use a random mixture of alphabets and numerals as their domain name, so when the search engine directed me to this site in my quest of watching 'The Avengers: Endgame' online), I was first skeptical, then pleasantly surprised.

A minimalist-themed website, neatly sorted by popular categories ('Action', 'Comedy', 'Romance' etc) greeted me and offered a wide range of available movies, most of them very recently released too.

Likes:
Clean website template, making it very easy to navigate and choose movies. Also, unlike the previous website that I reviewed, this does not feature sleazy / shady ads littered all over their pages.

Dislikes:
If I key in a film's English name, their search engine will return odd results, usually, nothing close to what I was searching for. Keying in the Simplified Chinese name though will always result in me finding the movie I wanted in the first place.

Wishlist:
That their search algorithm would be able to recognize English. But since their engine works perfectly when keying in the Simplified Chinese names of movies, I guess it's best not to fix what's not broken.

Overall:
As this is a Chinese website, the website is purely in Simplified Chinese, which is cool if you speak (read) the language. No sign-up / registration required. Absolutely no fees involved. This is definitely one to bookmark.
