Leave your thoughts about Pixels.
| Siete24.mxMario P. SzékelyFails to deliver anything really entertaining. [Full review in Spanish] |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbraySandler's best in awhile, but that's a pretty low bar to go by. Had a lot of potential that's wasted by the usual Happy Madison shtick. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe arcade characters are far more vivid and have more personality than the humans in the story. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerEven on its own silly terms, Pixels is not a very good movie; it’s painted up like a Ghostbusters-style fantasy-comedy but plays like so many slapdash Happy Madison productions before it. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekYet another misfire from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions...juvenile in every conceivable respect, less coarse than Sandler's recent vehicles but unhappily not much more engaging. |
| En FilmeLuis Fernando GalvánA poorly crafted film that is a poor tribute to the '80s classics it tries to imitate. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Moviebob CentralBob ChipmanIt is cinematic strychnine. Celluloid chlamydia. I shouldn't even be here, this isn't my jurisdiction: I'm a film critic, and Pixels isn't a movie - it's an active crime scene. And the crime is cultural vandalism. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyComing up short in terms of both humour and story, Pixels runs out of lives well before the closing credits. |
| EspinofMikel ZorrillaIt's far from what it could've been, but it's not as bad as you think. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's mainly suited for very forgiving Sandler fanatics that have become a dwindling community over the years. |
