I took my 3 children, 13, 5, and 3 and they were all extremely entertained. I too thought the movie was pretty damned funny. There were very few moments when I was not laughing. It was an original and entertaining story with plenty of laughs and action. Adam Sadler, Kevin James, and Josh Gad were all funny, and I usually do not find Kevin James tolerable, and Peter Dinklage is absolutely hilarious. In closing I thought it was an all around enjoyable movie and, to be honest, the best of the summer blockbusters so far. Expand

I don't know what people expected about this movie. It's underrated, it's a funny movie with good references to arcade games, it doesn't pretend to be anything else, if you don't like arcade or easy humor just don't see it.

And when I watched it I didn't understand it as well as the my mom, aunt and uncle did which is probably why a few people are giving it bad reviews. Because it was a great movie. And Adam Sandler (who also helped produce the movie) all he wanted to do was bring back older video games that are now extinct and I think he did a great job! Expand

First off, it's an Adam Sandler movie so yes, there is a lot of dumb comedy. But as a gamer who loves the classics, this movie may be my favorite in quite a while. I am one of those people who don't have much of a reaction during the movies. I had 1 "aw" moment during minions, and i rarely even flinch during horror movies, but Pixels had me smiling and at the edge of my seat almost the entire time. Sadly, I saw this movie at a drive-in theater so 3D wasn't an option, but it was such a great movie I'm going to a normal theater to see it again this weekend in 3D.

It's a COMEDY people. In that it succeeded. I've seen a lot of reviews claiming it wasn't funny. I brought my wife and two kids to see it Friday night and we found it very funny. Of course the story is far-fetched and unrealistic. (But so is every Marvel movie.) Again, it's a COMEDY.
We had a good time watching the movie and left the theater happy. It was worth the price of admission.
It may not be a Marvel movie, but it wasn't intended to be either.
If you want to be entertained and see a fun movie, go see this.
If you want to see a documentary on video games, go see something else.

It is still very much a HappyChildren of the 80's should get a kick out of the near-constant stream of references. Flashy special effects and some pretty nice action scenes make it the best looking Sandler movie to come out in a while. It is still very much a Happy Madison/Sandler film. That should tell you all you need know about the humor at this point. The jokes are immature and the whole thing is a huge celebration of the man child.

If you are one of the types who have already moved on from the humor associated with Sandler films and have been disappointed with his recent works then, quite simply, don't watch this. No amount of 80's videogame throwbacks will make this funny for you. Those of us who still enjoy Sandler and the type of humor his films contain will find plenty to laugh at here, although surprisingly very little of it comes from the man himself or his usual associates.

Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage are the show-stealers here. They along with several great cameo actors (Sean Bean is particularly hilarious) are the ones who bring the real laughs. Sandler is just sort of there as the main character. He gets some funny lines here and there, but mostly he's just around to carry the story and the shallow romance. His performance is shockingly lazy. Critics have always criticized him for that over the years, but this is the first time I've actually agreed with them on that. He is very clearly not trying at all. Kevin James is almost unnoticeable.

It isn't until Gad and Dinklage show up that the laughs really start to get going. Dinklage in particular is phenomenal. You can tell he's having a blast and he nails some of the movies funniest moments. Gad's talented. He holds up the majority of the film singlehandedly until Dinklage's character comes onscreen to help him out. It's a shame we are treated to a rather slow start that's lacking in laughs thanks to Sandler's lack of effort. I love the guy, but he doesn't bring anything to the table this time around outside of his name.

While some disappointment rear their ugly heads, this love letter to 80's videogames is one worth watching provided you enjoy the humor of recent Sandler films. It might not stand out as the best of Happy Madison's repertoire, and it won't do anything to please their detractors, but there is enough humor here to make it worth a watch for fans, even if Sandler does bring his A game. Or any game at all.

I give "Pixels" a 7.5/10.

This movie is more like a 7.5 out of 10, but it needs these scores to outbalance the ridiculous over-the-top scathing reviews.

Forget what you've read, this movie delivers. It is the best 3D film out, the comedy hits, and above all it's entertaining. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a comedy that's not too kid friendly (Paul Blart 2: Boring) yet not a hard R in which I'm afraid I'll see Seth Rogen's dick at some point.

PIXELS' soundtrack is catchy adding more fun to a mix of non-Sandler regulars that give Sandler a well needed push in the right direction. Michelle Mohananagahan is terrific (cast her if you want an actress that can deliver more than the looks). She even has a particular badass scene at the end.

This movie rocks. Enjoy it with some friends. Avengers 2 put me to sleep this summer. PIXELS woke me up. Enjoy the show.

For a movie I would put it anywhere between 6 to 8. I have no idea why it got as many negative reviews as it did to be honest. I'll try to put out some bullet points about good/ bad:
+ wonderful soundtrack
+ throwback nostalgia. They did get all arcade games right.
+ Adam Sandler gets actually witty comebacks in this one.
+ Adam Sandler for once plays just a regular guy and he knows it, instead of a prick full of himself.

- movie can be corny at moments
- the start is very Americanized and the gaming tournament. But it does character development quite nicely.

Do you like Adam Sandler comedies? If yes, then this one will be one of the better ones. Do you like a bit of silly fun? Then you might give this movie a 6 or a 7. It's nowhere near as bad as what critics say. If you're tempted to see it, I would say, go for it!

I can acknowledge some of the flaws (weak story, sometimes overdone scenes with Sandler) but overall, this is the movie I thought it was going to be and that's okay with me. Anybody who goes into this expecting something super serious or well scripted will be dissapointed but if you're willing to just have fun in a movie theater and stop overthinking things, it's a great movie and easily one of my favorites of the year.

Pixels review:

Just finished watching pixels and honestly I don't see why there is so much hate for this film. It's glorious and I'll tell you why. First off it was made with extreme care the intro the battles even the credits were handled with a 1980s flair. And by the way the credits were awesome. The visuals were AMAZING! Seriously this is some of the best cgi I've ever seen. The way the aliens exploded into pixels or humans rezzing into pixels or vice versa looked beautiful. The story was cheesy and cliche but I enjoyed it. The movie is pretty funny too with some good jokes and cameos. The acting is good and characters range from decent to good. The way the aliens looked and the action and again the cgi were fantastic. I actually really enjoyed this film it was very nostalgic imo and made me smile. I Hope for a sequel.

All I can think of is, too many Millennials reviewed this movie and don't freaking get it. So, they can go back to watching their Harry Potter and sparkly vampire movies for all I care. This is Gen X material. Expand

Movie was funny. And IMO better then ant man. You can't go wrong with some of the jokes you will be telling your coworkers later. People bashing the movie are probably the same that hate family guy, or find stand up comedy "problematic"

This is a perfectAs far as movies are concerned, If the "critics" hate a movie, I will go watch it because it usually means that the movie is pretty good. If the "critics" love the movie, I usually skip it because the movie is not very good. This is a perfect example of this. I took my 10 yr old son with me to see it. This movie does exactly what I think movies are supposed to be for. It entertains. It was moderately funny for me, at no time did I have a deep belly laugh, but I did laugh and smile throughout the movie. My 10 yr old though, he loved it, big hearty laughs were plentiful from him. This movie does not have some deep secret meaning of life or supposed to teach you the way of the world. It does exactly what it was meant to do, give a laugh and entertain for an hour and 40 minutes. I thought Josh Gad was pretty good in this as was Kevin James. Sandler and Dinklage were ok as well. I grew up with these old games and it brought back some good memories and actually got my son wanting to find these older games online and play them. He is still playing donkey kong. If you have a free afternoon, take your kid and enjoy a good movie and walk down memory lane. Go see it. Expand

Some gamers platonic dreams made reality (videogame girls), competitions, nice visual effects, scenes where the gameplay of a video game matches with a movie is dramatic moment (10, 9, 8, 7....), Qbert, Duckhunt, etc. But if you wanna hate just for beign a nice sheep do it, for me was an awesome movie. i hope for more like a extended version or a secuel.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally, this movie wasn't as bad as people were making it out to be. I did find it a bit hard to get into it at first, there were quite a few boring (and some sexist) jokes, and I was bored for a good half hour or so. I also feel they could have done better with the transition into action, because I felt they went from 0 to 100 pretty darn fast. One thing as well that really bugged me was the relationship between Violet and Sam, because one minute they hated each other, the next minute they're in love. I personally did not like how they executed their relationship, but if you like relationships like that then its cool. Honestly though the best part comes when the action starts, and boy was it cool! I enjoyed watching the main characters battle it out with some of our favorite classic video game characters, and you really feel the intensity of the situation when VonLichten comes on with their mix of 'We will Rock You." so I really enjoyed the climax to the end of the movie. So I feel its definitely worth checking out, but if you're someone who can't handle slow starts to movies, maybe get there later or just wait for it to come out on DVD and fast forward until the good parts.

Pixels is filled with 80's nostalgic aimed for adults but it the film is really mean't for kids and it's a typical Adam Sandler film were he has no charisma it's offensively lazy also he just wants to hang with his friends. The prologue isPixels is filled with 80's nostalgic aimed for adults but it the film is really mean't for kids and it's a typical Adam Sandler film were he has no charisma it's offensively lazy also he just wants to hang with his friends. The prologue is set in 1982, 13 year-old Sam Brenner (Anthony Ippolito) and his friend Cooper (Jared Riley) ride their bikes to a newly opened arcade, where Brenner comes and shows his skills mastering classic arcade games such as Pac-Man, Centipede, Tetris and Space Invaders. Cut to present day, where Cooper (played by Kevin James who was miss-cast) is a goofy unpopular president of the U.S, Brenner (Adam Sandler) is sad sack who wears a orange uniform and installs TV's and video games. Sam never really gotten over his defeat at Donkey Kong at the hands of showboating Eddie (played by Peter Dinklage) as a grown up, and Brenner can not get over it. Michelle Monaghan plays Violet a soon to be divorced mom, who is a high ranking weapon specialist. Josh Gad is Ludlow, a creepy love able gamer who lives in his mom's basement. Back In 1982, NASA sent a time capsule into space that included arcade games. The aliens misunderstand the videos and that took as a threat and declared war Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong send them down to Earth to destroy the whole planet. The talented director Chris Columbus (Home Alone 1,2 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) has no timing which makes this comedy awkward and not funny, the film does have inspiring action sequences. Sandler's writers Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling's script does have laugh out loud moments and pretty cool action scenes but the problems it's their script. Weak female characters and that's not odd because Sandler has weak sexist characters in his comedies but it's not good. Josh Gad is screechy and thinks it funny if he's high pitched and screams his lines. You don't buy the chemistry between Michelle Monaghan and Adam Sandler. Kevin James as the president? Wrap your minds around that one. The film can be funny at times but it's a typical lazy zero effort Adam Sandler film, not even the humorous Dinklage in a mullet can save it. Some okay performances and a great visuals. Grade C Expand

Realmente le daría sobre un 7 aprox. Pero hay muchos ceros de varios usuarios que no entiendo, y así contraresto un poco la nota.

Es una película que no quiere engañar a nadie, desde el trailer la identificas, comedia familiar con adam samdler señores, solo busca entretener y divertir en ese estilo, partiendo de esa base, lo que realmente hace que me divierta un x2 y la disfrute un x4 es el gran homenaje a los clásicos juegos de los 80, de las primeras recreativas y todos los gags y guiños que conlleva, cosa que solo podrán disfrutar y valorar quienes hayan vivido esa época videojueguil en las recreativas.

Comedia divertida recomendable para toda la familia e imprescindible si eres o has sido gamer retro.

Para mí, las películas de Adam Sandler son super divertidas y hace las que son mis comedias preferidas. El tipo de humor que manejan los guiones y el absurdo de todo me hacen reir a carcajadas, si a esto le sumamos el tono de una película de acción/efectos visuales como pudiera ser "Transformers" hacen que para mi gusto personal sea lo mejor. El nivel de entretenimiento que pasé durante 2 horas en la butaca del cine, pocas veces se ha repetido. Este domingo la volví a revisionar y no ha perdido ni un ápice de gracia. Haber, hay que dejar claro que la película como película es mala, no voy a engañar a nadie, es una invasión alienígena pero con personajes de videojuegos, el planteamiento ya en sí es absurdo. Dicho esto, los momentos de Kevin James son delirantes, las gracias de Adam Sandler geniales y el puntito que aporta Peter Dinklage a la película, hace que para mí sea un tridente sensacional y increiblemente DIVERTIDO que es lo que es toda la película. Genial, me lo paso en grande con PIXELS. Expand

I enjoyed it because it reminded me my childhood.

There are plenty of movies related to the video games. The 80s movie 'Tron' was one of those first I have seen, followed by many. But the recent one 'Wreck-it Ralph' was the game changer in the modern animation/CGI which led to another similar flick, 'The Lego Movie'. Lego and 'Toy Story' are the toys, not the video games, but very close to this theme and I'm very happy that Hollywood made this film for the guys like me who grew up playing them.

The film had a very simple story with the great visuals. Sometimes simple is very good rather going for hi-tech. Especially those who played these games in their middle-age back in the 80s could be now very old and they might suffer to understand the film due to the technology/terms/phrase gap, if it matched to the todays hi-tech hi-resolution video games. But the youngsters of the present era didn't understand that who are the backbone of any movie's success and that's why this movie sunk in the ocean of criticism.

My childhood and teenage was the late 90s and early 00s respectively, So 8bit games are on the edge of revolution. My favourites were the races and brick games, especially 'Duck Hunt', because I get a gun, not joystick. So this movie really brought me those sweet memories. A decade ago I used those unique sounds and music for message alerts in my 2G mobile phone(s).

I know recently Sandler had hit the rock bottom in his acting career, but, he's kind of lifted after the decent film 'The Cobbler' and excellent multistarrer 'Men, Women & Children'. This is not a massive comeback to what he's known for, comedies. But, sailing on average or above in better than falling downward in the career graph. To me this film was a better one, an above average, obviously not a masterpiece.

Guest appearances were unexpected, but was not that effective, except Ashley Benson, who was so hot in her 2-3 odd minutes. This film is not for everyone. Youngsters and oldsters never understand it. If you were born in the 70s and 80s, then probably you will know what to expect. Even it does not deliver to your expectation, definitely gives satisfaction for bringing those lost memories of our childhood.

7/10

Regardless, I did so and was pleasantly surprised. The references to 80s video games are all over the place and make a video game fan like myself revel in the joy of its immense premise. In addition, the plot involving familiar arcade characters attacking Earth works better than I thought it would; something about Pac-Man eating vehicles provided, for me, some sort of twisted humour. The film has its flaws, and arcade fans may get more out of it than other groups, but for me, it was a blast to watch. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I....I just don't get it..........
Why.... why do SO MANY people hate this movie, it's funny!!! (That's my honest opinion)
Honestly, this is probably the best Adam Sandler has ever gotten *guns get aimed at head*. Get me out of here. Whoever hates this movie probably hates it because of Adam's terrible movies in the past... THAT WAS BACK THEN IDIOTS!!! THIS IS NOW!!! I first saw this on Halloween just last year before going trick or treating with some friends, and I enjoyed the movie. It has its ups and downs, sure, but it's a great movie, the story, most likely was almost non existent and classic like the games it tries to show in the movie, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, remember, it's supposed to take place back in the past (Avgn...) of course the story would be simple, but here's a quick summarization, basically nasa launches a rocket with game data from a competition hoping to find new life, however, said rocket awakens gaming characters like Pac Man, and Donkey Kong, who go crazy and want to destroy the world, many people stand up and win against the games.
That's basically it. But the humor of the movie was so great I didn't really care about the story. Again, one of the funniest and most entertaining movies I've ever seen. So please, haters, do yourself a favor and watch the movie, I'm looking right at you, most of you hate it probably because Adam Sandler made it, have you heard the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover"? That's what i feel most of you did, judge it based on the fact that Adam Sandler made the movie. So please.... give the movie a second chance.
