NIAD Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I didn't see the movie, so I am assuming that it was bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I didn't see the movie, so I am assuming that it was bad? I saw it and I liked it. People who were hoping that Adam Sandler would be giving a Oscar-worthy performance were sorely disappointed and went on a screaming rampage as a result. Go figure... The movie doesn't take itself seriously at all, and reaches quite a high level of absurdity as a result. I guess some people just find that level of absurdity unpalatable. Me, I had fun watching it, just like I had fun watching Scott Pilgrim versus the World, which I highly recommend to all retrogamers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Yeah, me and my kids had a great time seeing pixels. I think some peoples expectations are just way to high for something coming out of Hollywood hehe Edited October 1, 2015 by stupus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had fun watching Scott Pilgrim versus the World, which I highly recommend to all retrogamers. One of my all-time favorite movies! And the graphic novels are amazing, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The bad mojo around Pixels had a lot to do with it being an Adam Sandler vehicle, who has long since burned up all of his goodwill from his early movies. I also didn't care for the premise being lifted from Futurama before it became the YouTube short that the movie was based off of. I didn't see it, nor do I have much interest. With that said, if it happens to be on when I'm stuck on the sofa, I might direct my eyeballs at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 One of my all-time favorite movies! And the graphic novels are amazing, too! Scott Pilgrim vs the world was an amazingly funny movie with many inside jokes. It was a work of art. Haven't seen pixels but I usually like movies everyone hates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 UPDATE2: Ok, I have an updated list. About 150 pre-orders, so still 50 modules available. I will start sending confirmations in a minute. You should update the first post of the "official second run" thread to update the number from "63" down to "50". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the film too (and not only because it is something initiated by French guys... ). And my 6 year old soon also.. after that i had to show him all the games we saw in the film. he is looking foward we buy the DVD. My only regret is it was too short for me, i would like more!!! .. who have seen Kung Fury? ... So good too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
