Paid 24 dollars for the movie and watched it halfway through and got kicked out for no reason. Terrible staff

I come here because: a) I live closeby b) I like the candy cart that rolls in at the start of the movie Yes, the candy cart! It makes me feel like I'm living in another era, when the studio lights are dimmed, trailers start rolling, and the candy guy (in uniform) pushes the cart in for people to walk down and select snacks. I love it! It's so cute, and I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else in Adelaide. Then again, perhaps other cinemas do it but I only ever come here. The candy cart just adds so much character. Or it could just be me unleashing my inner 5 year old child. The studios are kept clean, and although it's not really a big cinema complex, it plays quite a lot of movies and holds many sessions. Come here on Tuesdays if you're like me and don't see the point of paying twice as much on any other day. Have a pre-movie meal at one of the many selections on The Parade. I should warn you though, sometimes the trailers go for half an hour, sometimes ten minutes. It's weird and unpredictable - but kick back, relax and enjoy! read more

Hoyts - Cinema Near Me - Norwood, SA

Everyone loves to go to the Movies! In Adelaide I wouldn't say that we are spoilt for choice. Shame really. But this leads me to share my 'go to cinema' for when I do choose to go out for a Hollywood style movie. Norwood Hoyts is centrally located for most Adelaidians, right in the middle of The Parade. As it is in a suburban area, there are plenty of places to park for free. There is a carpark underneath the cinema. It is usually paid, but you can have 3 hours free if you are going to the Cinema! (Thanks for the tip Joyce V). The next cool thing about this theatre is that there are plenty of places around it that offer great food! So if you want lunch or dinner first it is too easy! There is even a Ben & Jerry's Icecream store right next to it! If you are after a quiet cinema experience, this is not the destination for you. This cinema is generally packed a lot of the time. I think that has something to do with it's positioning being so central and easy to get to. If you want to skip the line and go through express, purchase your tickets online first. Their biggest cinema is the 'Extreme Screen' for the big blockbusters! Why is it that cinemas always have to give something a corny stupid name? Anyway, it has a very big screen, but best of all is the seats. They leather or something similar and are really comfortable. Good back support and soft. But not soft enough to put you to sleep. Love those seats so much! Picture quality and sound in the extreme theater is really amazing! Wow, how technology has really changed over the last 10 years. Overall, a good cinema experience if you want to see something Hollywood. read more

See all

I used to think that there were two types of cinemas. The new, modern theatres with comfy seats, surround sound and huge screens, and the little suburban places where tickets cost $6 and leave you with a sore butt from the hard seats. It seems there are three classes: the soul-less mega complexes, the renovated suburban cinemas, and the cheap, hard seats. I live half way between Wallis Mitcham Cinemas and Hoyts Norwood and, given parking is often easier at Mitcham, I tend to go there. One holidays, the times at Mitcham didn't suit, so I took my youngster to Norwood. The ticket prices are a little more at Norwood. Thankfully, parking is included if you get your ticket validated. Prices are: adult $18.50, concession and student - $15.50 child - $13.50. In comparison, Mitcham is $17, $14, $13, but they often have specials where you can get a ticket for $10. Norwood is okay, but I much prefer the feel of Mitcham. I I would go here for the right session time, but if it was one or the other, I'd pick Mitcham every time. read more

Love this venue although a very expensive school holiday treat!! Best think about movies here is the validated parking for cinema goers.seats are large and extremely comfortable. Children n enjoyed their individual boxes of popcorn while the mini pancakes were a great accompaniment to the coffee. Zootopia was our movie of choice today. The music was great but unfortunately was way to scary do the 4 year old to enjoy. read more

Hoyts - Popcorn at the movies!! - Cinema Near Me - Norwood, SA

Hoyts is one of the few cinemas on the east side of Adelaide. It is a nice cinema and plays all of the commercial movies. The cinema is in a complex with a restaurant and Intensity. This means you can eat, the kids can play (or you, I have a soft spot for air hockey) and win tacky toys. The price of the movie tickets is quite reasonable, but going to the cinema is always an expensive outing for a whole family. The restaurant next to it often has specials enabling you to get cheaper tickets when you buy a meal. There is also a snack bar at the cinemas. This is extremely over-priced, so I often sneak in my own snacks from the Foodland down the road. The cinemas themselves are quite modern. They are purple and black, with very comfortable seats. When the movie is boring I have very easily fallen asleep. One feature of the cinema complex is an echoing section of the hallway. If you stand in the right spot and talk, you can hear it echoing all around you. A lot of teenagers hang in and around the Norwood Hoyts cinema, especially on the weekend. This means it can be quite noisy and rowdy. If you go to the wrong movie you may experience lots of talking, lasers and popcorn throwing. However, Hoyts really isn't as bad as some of the other, slightly dodgier cinemas around Adelaide. read more

Hoyts - Cinema Near Me - Norwood, SA

I don't go to the movies that often, mostly because it is an expensive venture and I like DVDs, but when I do, I make the effort to go to Norwood. I live up North East, so there are quite a few local cinemas, some closer and easier to get to than Norwood, but Norwood is far the best. It's got a great location on The Parade so you can have a nice tea or dessert beforehand, parking is quite easy and the actual cinema is very nice. The seats aren't filthy, the screens are good, the service is friendly and there are no loud teenagers hanging around the stairs at any time of day or night. Definitely the best quality cinema in Adelaide, apart from Marion (I reckon), and I always make the journey to go see a movie there rather than sit in popcorn watching a tiny fuzzy screen closer to home. read more

Hoyts - Cinema Near Me - Norwood, SA

Hoyts cinema is one of Adelaide's larger movie theatres and is one of the few cinemas on the eastern side of town. Though it fares pitifully to some Hoyts cinemas found interstate, it's a decent sized cinema with comfortable seating and regular showing times. Apart from the films themselves, that's all that really matters. The convenient location is the reason I continue to go to Hoyts, as I live close by. If it weren't for that, I would probably frequent other cinemas such as Palace Nova that have a bit more character; or Greater Union in Marion for the bigger screens. However, its location on The Parade is extremely convenient. Whether it be that you're planning to have a meal before catching a movie, or you decide to see a movie after dinner at a nearby cafe, the location of the cinema is ideal. This also means that you can comfortably stroll down the road for a coffee once your movie is over to finish off the night. The screens have also seen some upgrades over the years, and now commonly screen digital and 3D films. Whilst this makes the viewing experience much clearer, the disappearance of the 'black spots' and the popping noises takes away from the atmosphere or nostalgic feeling I used to experience when going to the movies. read more

Some call me thrifty, others call me stingy. However you look at it I can't go past the fact I am expected to spend $18 per person to see a movie blown up in large screen with the sound turned up really loud. Hoyts Norwood has some great things going for it: - Clean - Good clientele - Convenience - Friendly service - Some new movies However it also has some ordinary things going for it: - The price of movie tickets - The limited selection of blockbuster movies on show - The "$6 for a Coke" candy bar - The $6 parking underneath the cinema complex* *Note: If they actually advertised their "show your car park ticket when buying your movie ticket to get 3 hours free parking" message then I would not complain. Unfortunately we only found out about this when we got out of the movie and everything was closed at 11pm. Unfortunately a cinema experience has now become a "luxury" and is only saved for the very special occasions like Dark Knight Rises midnight sessions or an action movie where I can justify seeing things being blown up on screen in triplicate. read more

Tuesday, cheap, get on it. Now, I like to come here for a few reasons, if I don't want Gold Class then get Marion away from me, if i cant put up with bogans today I am not going to Mt Barker, Norwood Hoyts is always so peaceful, everyone looks slightly more beautiful here too, it's just a nice vibe and it's a fairly sized complex. If you want to go out for a bite to eat beforehand or a few drinks afterward then this is a great option. Of course if you don't go on a tuesday try not to have a heart attack when you pay for you're tickets, and I know you're not meant to do this but go to the supermarket first for munchies, save yourself $50. read more

If you dine at Cafe Burnelli in Glynde and order a main meal, you can buy a $7.90 movie ticket voucher for Hoyts. What a deal. Plus I love this cinema. The chairs are soo comfortable and big. And the rooms seem bigger to. read more

This is my regular movie spot, besides the Moonlight Cinema. It's located down the upper class Parade precinct, thus attracting a more chic crowd who are there just to watch a movie. That may sound simple but I've been to other cinemas with drunk bogans loudly narrating the movie, throwing rubbish, or just talking obnoxiously to each other. It's great location along the Parade makes for a great evening out with a lover or friends. Go grab some food from one of the many great restaurants nearby, or there is a Cafe Primo, Sushi bar, or Subway in the same building complex as the cinema. I personally hit up Subway for some cookies before I go in because a) they're delicious, and b) they're cheaper than anything you'll find inside at the overpriced candy bar. The cinemas are a good size, the extreme screen theatre is especially nice, and seating is comfortable. Its always very clean, including clean toilets. You can kick back and enjoy your movie here in a nice and clean atmosphere. read more

Yesterday, for the first time I came here to see a film on the XtremeScreen (yes, that's how it's spelled) and I was not disappointed! I guess it helps that the film was rad (Kick Ass 2, since you were wondering) but the picture quality on this screen was second to none - it was like I was watching a REALLY BIG version of my home HD TV - very impressive for a projection. The cinema was mostly clean, even though it currently feels like you're walking into a ghost town as you enter (many of the nearby businesses have shut down, for renovations perhaps?) but the real downer was the cost of the combo popcorn. I don't normally buy this stuff but for my boyfriend it seems like a trip to the cinema isn't complete with out it. We normally go to the cinema at Westlakes where a large popcorn and drink combo is about $12 but for a large at Norwood you're looking at spending $16! NO DEAL! ...Well, okay, we got the popcorn, it tasted good but not $16 good - what a rip! I'll be back, because I like paying $10 for movies (thanks Optus!) and it's in a generally convenient location but I won't be taking the BF unless he quits popcorn for good! read more

Hoyts are clean and tidy with minimal riff raff - you always get more of that up north, down south, even west. The theatres are quite small, as is now custom, which is fine generally except when you're running late. When that happens the 'smallish' space fills quickly leaving you with few seating options. This is okay for singles, hardly ever okay for doubles, and never okay for anything more. On my last visit there were 5 of us and we ended up sitting in 5 single seats!!! Yes we could have been earlier, yes we could have waited another 40 minutes for the next session eating great cinema food, but maybe having allocated seating in small theatres is a good idea and they should do that. On being late...we lined up at the same time as the advertisements would have started in the theatre. The line up was very short and it should have been obvious to staff that we were there for THAT movie. There were 3 people serving. One of the 3 was in the background and really didn't seem to be doing much at all. The other two were in no rush and the fact that the same registers sell tickets as well as all the food is not on. My purchase took about 10 seconds, with cash. The people in front of me who also purchased some food/drinks took 5 minutes. I felt the staff were inadequately trained or too young or too inexperienced or just didn't give a toss given it was nearing the end of the night. 3 stars for a lacklustre service. read more

This is the first cinema that we have been to in Australia. The location is good and it is convenient to have eateries inside the complex in case you arrive early for your movie. We watched Star Wars - The Force Awakens and thought the screen and sound quality were OK. The seats were elevated enough to have a good view of the screen even with people seated in front of us. Areas of improvement include the cost of everything from tickets, to parking to food, especially given the amount of advertisements we had to sit through. We breathed a sigh of relief when the commercials and trailers were finally over. The popcorn was a huge disappointment as well, it was way too salty and we could barely stand to eat half of it. read more

This is a smaller cinema. Screens aren't necessarily huge and I've found the sound systems in some have issues with cutting out and distortion. I can strongly suggest that you should not buy food from here. You could spend $20 on a drink, popcorn, and mars bar. It's daylight robbery. Head down to the Foodland thirty seconds away and stock up there. A great thing about this theatre is that there is an Intencity right next door, the perfect time killer while you wait for your movie. The Caffe Primo next door can also sell you cheap movie tickets if you have a meal there beforehand. read more

First time at Hoyts Norwood, very impressed, validated car parking, easy access to cinema, very clean premises, $10 movie tickets (early sessions) soft comfortable seating. Looking forward to next visit. read more

Nice cinema. In a great location, close to heaps of nice eateries. Only downer is that there they don't really play many 3D movies there.

Same as any other hoyts but in a shopping complex with a sushi place, Grill'd (burger joint) and Ben and Jerrys ice cream. Great for catching a meal or dessert before or after a movie. There's a small seating area where you can grab a coffee but there's usually no seats available. This hoyts fills up 5x more than the Tea Tree Plaza one. read more

The reason why Hoyts Norwood is the cinema I mainly go to is because of its location. I live in the area and it's conveniently located on the Parade, so perfect if you want a bite to eat before or after seeing a movie. It's easy to find a parking space around here and they show pretty much all the mainstream movies you would want to see. The complex itself is, well, just an average cinema I'd say. Nothing special, but it's clean and their screens are big enough. I'm not sure what the average price of cinema tickets in Australia is but I find 18 bucks rather expensive. If I had to pay that amount for a really nice venue or theatre, fair enough, but this is just a normal cinema complex. read more

It seems like their fb page is dead so even if you complain noting will be done about it. It is overpriced but the location is convenient. I go often to this cinema and I am a Hoyts member but after tonights visit it struck me how dirty the whole cinema is. They renovated the outside but are not bothering to clean it. We had to clean our seats that were full of popcorn. There was rubbish all over the cinema. Women's toilets were the dirtiest toilets I have ever seen. It wasn't a busy night but the state of the toilets was terrible. They were all dirty, one wouldn't flush and one without paper (that I know of). You guys really need to tidy up your act! read more

The movie's advertised start time was 8:15 pm. Subsequent to making effort to successfully get there "on time", the entire audience was then subjected to not just a few, nor 5 nor even 10 or 15 minutes, but all of half an hour of advertising. The movie started at 8:45! This equates to 30 minutes of life wasted x however many people were in the audience, and there were lots on this night (the movie itself was exceptional). Time wasted on what seemed like an unending stream of ads. The preciousness of time in terms of all of our limited lifespans is evidently not understood or appreciated by Hoyts. Its business model is evidently comfortable with deliberately subtracting time from individual lives, to be lost forever on not just ads for other movies as might arguably be expected, but also on a plethora of the typical mind-numbing tv ads that, in one's own home, may be dealt with appropriately - using the remote. read more

Reasonably sized cinema that remains somewhat intimate without being too small. The prices for food and drink are ridiculous though, even by cinema standards. read more
