Pixels was what I expected it to be, so I wasn't disappointed. It was some light fun.I think there was some opportunity that was wasted in the casting. Not so much Sandler, but James, Monaghan could of been better. Gad and Dinklage's characters the standouts. Ashley Benson be my pixel baby. They should have done "Frogger" or something for the finale, I don't see the attraction of "Donkey Kong." I liked the song and montage of the scenes in video game form during the credits, a nice touch.

Been watching this several times and it never failed to amuse me and my kids.
The movie was absolutely entertaining. I actually don't understand the low ratings. The acting are just right with their character and the story of the movie. I enjoyed Josh Gad's acting (oh come on! He was funny here!).If you feel disappointed after watching this movie because you think it was silly, (like Adam Sandler's acting was bland or why the heck Kevin James was the president) -- then I think you just have the wrong expectation for this movie.I would feel bad if you were not entertained at all. (Maybe ask yourself.. what is wrong with me ? Why didn't I enjoy that ?)

You know, I had every reason not to like PIXELS. It's a Hollywood blockbuster comedy with an emphasis on special effects over story, and it's directed by Chris Columbus, a man known for his twee, family-centred productions. It even stars Adam Sandler, who I'm no fan of. Despite all these detractions, I found PIXELS to be a breath of fresh air in a tired world. It's fast and funny, and a treat for anyone who grew up in the 1980s with 1980s-era video games. The film plays out as one big action set-piece with jokes in between, and thank goodness, there's no crudity for once. Sandler himself is okay and Kevin James is a hoot as the bad-mannered president. Peter Dinklage is the real scene-stealer of the group, though, and there are fun cameos from famous names including Dan Ackroyd and Sean Bean. The film's CGI effects are exemplary and just as good as in a massive budget blockbuster like AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, and that city-wide climax is something to behold. Check it out!

This film is an exquisite piece of fine art. Adam Sandler is the greatest mind pf the 21st century. I wish Kevin James were the real president. Sean Bean says commercial and that wasn't great. I don't know why this film is not in the place of Shawshank Redemption on this website, I know for a fact it's the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
