I've liked it much more than expected from ratings! Funnier than most Adam's stuff, and Tyrion and Ned were great.

The makers of Pixels were faced with what I imagine was pretty difficult task of making a film that appealed to both young audiences as well as the folks who grew up with the games and references featured in the film. Taking that into consideration, I did enjoy the movie. To be honest, it wasn't as "nerdy" as I had expected and hoped but it was entertaining.
The special effects were outstanding for the most part. There were only a couple of instances where the green screen effect was sloppy. You'll catch them no doubt.
It was a Happy Madison production so the cast was a lot of familiar faces. And the song choice was predictable. But didn't really hinder the film at all.
As for story, it wasn't awful. There were a few times when I just couldn't go along with it. But for the most part it didn't feel forced. It was all very funny and typical Adam Sandler humor.
There's nothing after the credits but during the credits you can watch the entire film in 8-bit format. Pretty cool.

Ok, let's break this down:

Cons:
- Homophobia
- Michelle's character is constantly insulted for half the film by Sandler, all because he didn't brush his teeth
- Women are used as a reward for the men even right from the first present day scene
- Game characters post-1982 used
- The jokes made by the cinema audience were funnier than any joke in the film

Pros:
- Adam Sandler says "Donkey Kong"

Mildly entertaining, probably more so if you actually played the games wayyyyyy back. Other than that there isn´t much going for the movie. No story, exaggerated characters, clichés all over. The look of the games is good, though.

But please, no sequel.

It was way better than expected. It’s one of those movies where ratings don’t matter at all. Definitely worth your time.

I'm always interested in a film which has a concept revolving around video games. It was funny in parts and graphically it was pretty good.
The film was a bit stupid really, but that's the point, it was very self aware. It was funny at times and had some good banter between the characters. But at the same time it was very predictable and weak in areas.
I'm not the biggest Adam Sandler fan and he didn't change my opinion in this film.

Overall, its watchable but not something you would watch more than once.

Good movie, good ending. I saw some bad scenes, but all good.

I pushed play for the kids ppphhhffrrrrttt

So I've just seen Pixels and it was pretty terrible, and were you seriously surprised about that.

-The acting was bad
- Adam Sandler not trying anymore.
- The effect's were alright.
- Josh Gad was so annoying in this movie, I mean he wouldn't stop shouting.
- Peter Dinklage was the only saving grace in the movie.
- Kevin James is an idiot.

I know some are expecting a long detail review of this, but to be honest I want to save my strength and energy for another movie I'm going to review and that's 'The Third Man'. I'm really taking my time with that and make the best out of it so before I review a masterpiece like The Third Man, here's something really shitty.

I feel bad for Chris Columbus. Since he actually said that making Pixels reminded him of working films like Gremlins or Goonies in the 80's. When you're teaming with Sandler and Happy Madison, you're not making another Goonies or Gremlins....
Talented Michelle Monaghan is wasted as Sandler's love interest. She was just picked on and nominated for a Razzie just for being in it. She's not the problem though.
I mean the film is about aliens taking over by bringing 80's video game characters to life. As a fan of video games, Wreck it Ralph did more for me. Since this film is more Sandler and friends trying to be funny rather than about the video game characters.
You also have Josh Gad "the guy who's popular just due to talking for Olaf in Frozen" singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World, was I supposed to laugh at that ? Because I didn't. I also didn't believe Adam Sandler as the guy smarter than everyone else when he acts like a jackass non-stop.

I would say I am target audience, as I was born in 1979 and played pacman, arkanoid, space invaders, digger, paratroopers, etc etc. And I played them a lot.
But the first 20 minutes was not funny, not entertaining, it was as watching a very bad version of sci-fi revenge of the nerds. And a rather pathetic version at that.
Yes, I guess that word soms up this movie: pathetic.

I love the whole idea and possibly this story could have proven a fun movie with many retro elements. But unfortunately this movie does not go beyond a pathetic display of how 'nerds' live and behave. Or how Hollywood perceives it.
Adam Sandler is annoying as always and this "Ludlow" person by Josh Gad is absolutely terrible.

enjoyed the movie, I considered it good and entertaining. didn't really have high expectations, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some have made it out to be.
