Such a sick idea executed in the most boring dumb way. Why is Kevin James president? Guess that perfectly describes politics, but bruh. Yeah this plot was wasted.

The only redeeming quality of Pixels is how bad it is. One of those movies you watch just to see how bad it really is.

Si bien las escenas de la película que recrean el juego en la vida real son algo interesantes, ademas de que estas escenas son poquísimas, toda la película cae en picado por algunas de las actuaciones mas clichés y forzadas que jamas me tope en el cine, así como en copiarse de muchísimos aspectos de las películas "Ghostbusters" y "The Wizard".

Don't really no what else to say; it has been a long time since I have almost quit watching a movie. I knew it was going to be awful (that's why I watched it, RIP), but for it to be even worse is insane. I can't get over how disturbing the ending was. There were so many moments where it was clear it was supposed to be funny, but ended up making me literally physically cringe. If you appreciate films in the slightest, don't give up the almost two hours of your life. I feel like I need to clean myself.… Expand

La artística y los efectos especiales son uno de sus pocos fuertes pero sin una estructura que lo aproveche el resultado es que lo hecho no trascienda.
Ésta producción de Happy Madison es el típico tropo de Adam Sandler que trata la historia de un personaje diferente e incomprendido que termina ganándose el corazón de todos a través de su carisma y habilidades. Aunque en ésta ocasión el protagonista, Sam Brenner, pareciera no tener personalidad por sobre la capacidad de ser bueno jugando juegos de arcade. El resto del elenco tampoco es muy interesante, salvo por la versión más bizarra de un Presidente de los Estados Unidos, interpretado por Kevin James.
La historia en un principio tiene potencial, aliens invaden la tierra confundidos por videos sobre una competición de video juegos de los '80, pero sobre el final se toman decisiones muy sencillas que terminan arruinando el climax final y haciendo perder sentido a la narrativa.
En general "Pixels" es una película que sirve para pasar el rato, tiene sus cosas buenas pero no son aprovechadas, no la recomiendo pero si quieres una película inofensiva con algo de humor puedes darle un vistazo.… Expand

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

Nothing good, unfortunately. Adam Sandler is never denied, giving us yet another flop filmed by a now increasingly tired and listless Chris Colubus that, as the leading actor, seems no longer even trying to create something good for the cinema.
Nothing works in this film, the plot is obvious and boring, the characters are silly and stereotypical, Sandler who still plays the part of the eternal child no longer laugh now and hope that a film works only on the basis of '' nostalgia effect '' videogames is not enough, indeed for the whole film one has the impression of seeing an advertisement, and of being once again cheated by a devious marketing operation.

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

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.… Expand

Opening in 1982 we meet a young Sam Brenner who is pretty good at arcade video games. The classics, as an adult Sam (played by Sandler) likes to constantly say. So good is young Sam that he enters a video game championship where he eventuallyOpening in 1982 we meet a young Sam Brenner who is pretty good at arcade video games. The classics, as an adult Sam (played by Sandler) likes to constantly say. So good is young Sam that he enters a video game championship where he eventually loses to the obnoxious & annoying kid, Eddie at the game Donkey Kong.

Footage of the event is put in a time capsule & blasted into outer space in the hope of one day making contact with another life-form. Fast-forward to modern times (can you see where this is going?) & an adult Sam is a down on his luck installer of home-theatre equipment. Adam Sandler playing a mild-mannered, down on his luck character. What a surprise. I’m pretty sure that this is just Adam Sandler, he’s not acting, it’s just him.

Anyway he meets Violet, a soon to be divorcee & behaves incredibly inappropriately towards her yet she somehow finds him charming. I kid you not, his behaviour here would have him sacked so quickly yet she thinks he is adorable…at least until he goes to kiss her.

She knocks him back & they spend the rest of the movie pretending they don’t like each other even though all Adam Sandler movies end up with him getting the girl.

Elsewhere a military base is suddenly attacked by aliens that turn things into pixels when destroyed. This causes the white house to panic & the president calls his special advisor. Can you guess who it is?

That’s right! Sam Brenner is friends with the president played by Kevin James who is the fourth worst thing in this movie. On his way to the White House who should he run into along the way? Violet of course who happens to work at the White House. What a happy coincidence.

After seeing the footage Sam deduces that the aliens found the time capsule & saw it as a declaration of war having watched the video game footage. They challenge Earth to a battle split over three rounds…should we lose they will destroy us completely.

So guess whose job it is to save the day? Sam, of course whose knowledge of video games will help the army in the upcoming battles. All while acting with as much charm as a headless cockroach.

Sam can’t do this alone though & after being surprised by an old friend, Ludlow (Josh Gad) he recruits him to help along the way. Ladies & gentlemen, Ludlow is the second worst thing in this movie. I’ve wanted him dead from the moment he opened his mouth & his obsession with a female video game character goes so over the top by the end that it ends up being spectacularly creepy. Don’t believe me? I’ll sum it up with this unfortunate spoiler:

Ludlow will end up **** Q*bert & having weird Q*bert children with it.

I am not joking.

…but the crew still isn’t complete. They need the best of the best so realise they have to call upon the services of Eddie played by Peter Dinklage, the worst thing in this movie by a country mile. His acting is sub-par with dialogue that is supposed to reflect his 80’s younger self but just comes across sounding utterly pathetic coming out of a grown man’s mouth.

The big reveal is that he cheated during the Donkey Kong challenge, something that would have been impossible to do at the time & has a redemption arc that you won’t care about in the slightest. Throw in an unfunny & sexist angle about his obsession with Serena Williams & Martha Stewart & you’ve got one of the worst written characters I’ve ever seen. Maybe that’s why Dinklage plays it so badly…but that would be giving him an easy ride, he’s terrible & it’s as simple as that.

So with the crew assembled it’s up to them to take the fight to the aliens across battles based on Centipede, Pac-Man & Donkey Kong.

Along the way all the characters will bond & learn deep meaningful lessons about themselves resulting in an ending where everyone is better for the events that took place. Or they could just fill it with awful jokes, insultingly bad plot devices & lazy references to the ‘golden’ age of video games.

Everything that involves acting is a chore to get through, you’re just desperately hoping that you will get to the next action sequence before your brain starts leaking out of your ears.

Unfortunately, most of these moments are a massive let down too. It seems as though skill with arcade controls also makes Sam & Ludlow experts with guns (guns made for fighting pixel aliens, mind you) as the military screw up fighting Centipede so the duo have to take over.The Pac-Man battle is the most exciting of the bunch but seems nothing more than a commercial for the cars they drive (coloured to look like the ghosts from the game – how clever!).

For me the worst thing about the entire movie is it’s clichéd, out-dated jokes about video games & gamers as a whole. If there is a gamer out there who is pissed off after watching Ludlow make people believe we’re all basement dwelling masturbators again, I’d be surprised. Shockingly Sam doesn’t get modern gaming, something we get spelt out for us as he watches a kid play The Last of Us. Get ready for the chuckles guys & girls, because you know he’s going to tell a few jokes!… Expand

Con fallas enormes como : Usar cheat codes en un auto real, que un personaje pixelado se transforme en un humano sin explicación alguna, y que un país, cualquiera, elija a un tipo analfabeta como presidente deja mucho que desear.
En general no es ni la peor película de Adam Sandler ni es buena, pero es una oportunidad desperdiciada de tener tantas licencias de material nostálgico y hacer algo que justifique el coste de producción.

This movie does fail in the comedy aspect a little bit, but I did admire how fun and clever the story is and how much fun I had with the action sequences, especially the Pac-Man sequence, that was pretty awesome!

The actin was mediocre, the script was bland and the whole idea of using women as trophies when they saved the world. BELCH. I watched this movie because I love old school aracde games and even though Adam sandler does not make good movies nowadays he has had a couple of good ones such as 50 first dates, bedtime stories, billy Madison blended and a few others. However his acting felt very flat and so did the rest of the cast. Predictable with a few entertaining movies does not save this movie from the mess it really is.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. During this movie, I was like "Wow, how many culture references they make in this piece of garbage. And not even one hit the ground correctly". For real, "Pixels" is another flaming pile of **** coming out of an awful studio that I didn't wanna see in theaters. Not because I'm not a fan of the arcade games that this thing references, not because it's got Adam Sandler, not even because the latter and the terrible Kevin James team up. But because it's so **** obvious from the trailer that this film fails with its jokes. That PACMAN scene with his owner was so freaking annoying. "Oh please someone annihilate this stupid thing!". Whatever the writer was smoking when he was writing that particular bit remains a mystery.

As if it wasn't enough, we've got Adam Sandler, who is much the proof that Hollywood can no longer make use of the actor well. Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage is in this too, and he's not even remotely funny. Michelle Monaghan and Josh Gad are also part of the group and together they fight against an alien invasion, that doesn't take too long to end. That's what happens when you mix all of this bland, uninteresting characters into one big, badly paced Sony's misfire.

Sure the concept of it is original, albeit pretty simple. I chuckled at least three times, and legitimately laughed 1 time during "Pixels". In a 100-minute movie! You know, I laughed more often with the "Super Hero: The Movie" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction" than I did with this movie. "Spy" was a great comedy movie, released this year, and each minute of it had 1 or two gags. It kinda feels strange to see Melissa McCarthy kick Sandler's ass, doesn't it?

Admittedly, the visual flair paid off, and I'm sure 3D lovers had their moment with this movie back in July, but I'm tired of praising this kind of movies for their technical goodie, and ignore all the tiresome aspects of it. I heard someone say that the pacing was solid in "Pixels". I think that the pacing in "Pixels" was off. There was no momentum, each scene was either Sandler flirting with his compatriots or fighting CGI videogame creatures, and all of them (the scenes) had no tension (YES, comedies do have tension as well, writer and people who somehow liked this film). I thought there was going to be a final battle against the "brain" of the attacks, but the finale underwhelmed it all. They just called it a truce with the villains and the movie ended. Like, why the f*ck would you attack a planet and give up after getting Donkey Kong's ass beated by a group of nerds (no offense to geeks or anyone)? It makes no sense. Frankly, I can't write a generic and vague analysis of the film without spoiling it at the same time.

Beyond unoriginal satire (which this movie has), there was little sense of villain overt carrying this movie forward. Meanwhile, a potentially wasted premise took a backseat to terrible acting and haphazard pacing.

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.

Children 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 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.… Expand

Have you ever watched a movie just to make fun of it, and when you actually see the film it's ten times worse than you anticipated? That's "Pixels" in a nutshell.

Pixels is about an evil alien race who comes into contact with humanities'Have you ever watched a movie just to make fun of it, and when you actually see the film it's ten times worse than you anticipated? That's "Pixels" in a nutshell.

Pixels is about an evil alien race who comes into contact with humanities' old arcade games (think pacman, galaga, donkey kong) and decide, quite randomly, to challenge humanity to a "game" of winner take all, real life video game warfare. This ridiculous enough plot leads humanity to find the three guys who can actually save the world -- some 1982 video game champions. The main one is played by Adam Sandler. So, it's a classic "lovable loser saves the world" story, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
This is because Adam Sandler's character is NOT loveable. He's a forty something year old Geek Squad type, who, despite his poor place in life, can't help but tastelessly insult everyone he ever meets, ever. Insults he flings include calling a guy with slicked hair "zack efron," an old guy "old timer," a guy with glasses "hairy potter," his save the world teammates are "creeps," "losers," weirdos," and his WAY-too- attractive-for-him love interest? Well, she's a hysterical nutbag **** who just needs to shut up and kiss him, of course.
And that brings me to the treatment of women in this film, one of the worst you'll ever see in a movie made after 1971. Women are trophies for the men in "Pixels," (one sexy-fied video game character LITERALLY transforms into a "trophy" for Josh Gad's character.) All the "attached" women are far too attractive for the men (Michelle Monoghan is way out of Sandler's leage, as is Jane Krakowski to Kevin James, as is Ashley Benson to Josh Gad, as is Serena Williams to Peter Dinklage (another REWARD woman.))
Sandler mumbles his way through this horrible plot with tired jokes and a script that must ALWAYS give him the last laugh (If self deprecation is the touchstone of charming, then Sandler is that guest at your dinner party who just won't leave.) The last laugh isn't with Sandler, though, it's on Sandler. Pixels is a sexist, boring, poorly written joke of a movie.… Expand

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.

The picture is horrible! The cinematography and special effects look like they were made with a free to download 3D maker software from a high school team class project! The acting is so poor that even Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Pixar's Toy Story have more EMOTION than Adam Sadler and the rest of the casting crew. The movie makes a decent try to reference the 80's through old time songs and even having a character dressed with jeans, spiky hair and ear rings similarly to the 80's fashion but the results end making him a parody (and no he was not meant to be a parody he was meant to be a cultural reference and they failed miserably on that).
The game fails to deliver any nostalgia regarding videogames of the 80's era. They even put cheating a videogame as a turning point to twist the plot!! No serious videogamer takes cheating or jokes about hacking a videogame lightly and it is definitely not appreciated!
Save yourselves and do not watch that movie.
To whom it may be like-able? To people with absolutely zero judgement or low self estime!
The plot is very bad, the dialogues are pathetic, the graphics are pathetic and the movie sucks!
DO NOT WATCH IT!!!!… Expand

It should have been left out or less emphasized. The comedy was slapstick as always however it didnt connect very well in this movie. I did laugh about 3 or 4 times but it wasnt like some of the laughs I had in other comedies. The plot was non-nonsensical in that there was no adversary characterization except for a few words that Q-Bert made about his race.

It is cultural discrimination towards video games and Chris Columbus is the biggest retard in the world for directing this piece of f*ck! The acting is awful, the special effects are so obvious it would have looked better if you hung some cardboard over the camera, the story is incoherent and makes no f*cking sense and the cinematography (if you can even call it that) it the worst thing you will ever see in your life. Kill this movie with 5,000,000 atom bombs!… Expand

This movie is another heap of garbage thrown on screen by Sandler to make easy money and kiss an attractive woman. This movie is barren of laughs, and even ruins our childhood in the process.

Coming up short in terms of both humour and story, Pixels runs out of lives well before the closing credits.

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.… Expand

Chris Columbus is a fairly reliable director and has managed to create some great comedies and some strong blockbuster films as well but once again it just feels like Adam Sandler directed this. I am not an Adam Sandler hater, but I am getting sick of the same story that he crafts year after year. The visuals for this movie were great but I was mixed on the characters. Josh Gad was funny from the start but he got old quick. Peter Dinklage was so bad, he was not funny at all, I was expecting him to be really funny but he just became this mess with a terrible accent. Then you have Kevin James and Adam Sandler who are just not believable in their roles. Pixels may be one of the most original stories of the year and I did find it sort of funny at the beginning but the writing for this film is predictable and falls into the same Sandler template. This film is just destined to become a Sunday afternoon cable movie.… Expand

Adam Sandler is on a downfall so far since Grown Ups 2. Pixels was somehow a good movie. The humor is a little funny the visuals looked childish. Also Adam's friend is in it Kevin James.

The whole film felt like an overblown idea given to the wrong production company. The original short film it was based off of was pretty damn good and I'd highly suggest watching that short video over this feature film.

Sandler was tasteless and lackluster as usual and I wouldn't want anyone wasting their money on watching this, rather to wait until it's on a streaming service (If it actually gets put on one outside of the USA).

It's near enough impossible for me to recall anything to do with the plot because it felt so poorly patched together that students that I've met before could have easily written better, and it's a damn shame that greatly talented writers are writing scripts that aren't going anywhere, but just because Sandler can bump his name and money behind a project means that major studios will automatically be more interested in backing it for either production or distribution.

There's a reason why they say the film market is dying and it's because they're too much deflated rubbish like 'Pixels' being green-lit, whilst there's an over saturation of individuals and smaller companies all trying to push to be near the top (for whatever reason: monetary etc)

Don't bother with anything Happy Madison produced anymore, just avoid it from now on because you'll simply be wasting your money. I learnt that after Master of Disguise...… Expand

I personally enjoyed it quite a bit, but I'm also a big Adam Sandler fan and was a fan of the premise of the movie.

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.… Expand
