How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A great movie for the whole family.
Ignore the critics and go see it.

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.

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.

Critics panned the movie for precisely the reasons it's fun. It highlights the fun of video games and arcades in the 80s. The plot isn't deep, but it's creative. The special effects were first rate. It *IS* a movie made using 2015 technology, it's just set in the "blocky pixel" days of the 80s. The marriage of those two elements is excellent. And who can pass on a chance to see Peter Dinklage in a mullet! Ignore the critics. Watch this movie for the fun that it is.
