New Adam Sandler movie, Pixels

I finally managed to watch this. Had some funny moments, but *spoiler* the whole marrying Q-bert and having Q-bert kids is just wrong. Not bad, but not good either. C+ at best.

[SPOILER]Yeah, the "upgrade" of Q-bert to Lady Lisa apparently didn't go exactly to the nerd's fantasy, but I guess he didn't mind the sex with some alien female creation. Just a "minor" bug in the "upgrade" process, it happens...

Friends invited me to the cinema in July, to watch Pixels.


The film had its funny moments and some charme. Most of the time however I felt embarrassed for the main characters. Also the sheer number of love stories went overboard to my taste. Most people where I live don't get the Arcade references anyway, since public coin-operated video game halls had been banned for minors since 1985.

My opinion: High budget trash movie that might be worth renting when you have your friends and lots of beer around. Just don't expect it to be on par with the excellent Scott Pilgrim movie.

I shudder at the thought of a sequel because of that...

I watched this last night, it wasn't quite as bad as some critics made it out to be (its Adam Sandler and Kevin James for godsake, do you expect it to be Inception level standards?). They had a good concept but there were many errors in the execution including plenty of plot holes, nonsensical story lines, and some bad jokes (the whole Q*bert thing was awful and unnecessary). I went in thinking the worst but it wasn't terrible, on the same level as the Grown Ups movies in my opinion

So, better than NES Quest?

Watched this last week with the wife. Meh. Not bad, but not that good either. Maybe 5/10? It's worth watching once, but that's about it.

Saw the movie recently and thought it was fairly decent. It seem that all the movies about retro gaming is in relation to Nintendo, I hope someone someday will make one that will include all the retro system from the late 80's and early 90's.
