Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
RomanceNovelist Look... this movie does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's meant to be fun. In fact, my husband who collects vintage video games and I mean, is a serious collector, LOVED IT. And I thought it was great fun. IT's not supposed to be an Oscar level movie. You watch, and you accept it for what it is. Sandler is Sandler, and I enjoy his humor. For some reason, the critics have turned on him in a bad way and I don't know why. But I suppose his type of humor is for the young and he's a middle aged man now and maybe should have turned to more serious roles? That's at least what I think is bugging these folks. But I like the movie. And I'm watching it now which is why I wrote the review. Great fun. Keep 'em coming, Sandler. You have fans and that's who you are making movies for.
alexfinlayson-80821 Pixels looked to be a very interesting film when the trailer first dropped. But, upon hearing how poorly it was doing, I avoided seeing it. When it on came TV earlier this year, I decided to give it a go. I think enjoyed it more than most people did but it was obvious why it had been criticized so much.Many people have said it would have been better if Adam Sandler hadn't been in the lead role. I partly agree with that statement but I believe the films biggest problem is it's script. The story has a very unique concept (based on Patrick Jean's short film) but if it had just been scripted better, then it may have been more successful. There were multiple moments in the film where I found myself saying 'really?'. I must admit I found myself shouting in disbelief at a few of the scenes involving Josh Gad's character towards the end; I personally think this was a pretty poor performance from him. Plus hearing Q*Bert speak English wasn't quite right either. If he'd spoken the same way he did in Wreck-It-Ralph then it might have been better. And that post-credit scene was, to put it quite simply, wrong.But the film wasn't all bad. The story is very original, the special effects are brilliant, the few gags that the film has are quite funny, Peter Dinklage's acting is top quality as ever and the final battle set to 'We Will Rock You' is very enjoyable.All in all, it's a long way off being the worst film I've ever seen but, equally, it's even further away from being the best.
redfarmer2000 This won't be a lenghty review. I just need to say that i loved this movie. My weakness for old classic arcade games might ofcourse have influence my rating, but i still think this would be a very entertaining movie for the whole family. I've learned through the years not to take all movies so seriously but instead let the movie tell me what is real.Again, i loved this movie and now i must see it one more time!
lisafordeay This happened to be on TV and since I never seen it before as it bombed back in 2015 I decided to check it out. Directed by the same guy that brought us Mrs Doubtfire and Bicentennial Man this film is about a group of adults who were video game nerds back in 1982 and some strange stuff starts to happen as video game charcthers like Pacman and Donkey Kong come alive so its up to Sam Breener(Adam Sandler), Lover good(Josh Gad) and co to try and defeat the charcthers that have came alive or its game over. This film is like a B movie,its silly,it stars the worst actor ever Adam Sandler alongside his bff Kevin James,every time Josh Gad appeared Olaf came into my head.If you are a video game lover and love the actors in this check it out.
