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.

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

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.
