So last night polygon published their review of the new Sandler movie Pixels. They got bashed immediately for some reason… well now more reviews are out.
"There’s nothing genuine or clever about the story here, and director Chris Columbus and the cast seem to know it. Sandler in particular comes
off downright bored playing Brenner, even during the film’s action scenes. (That should tell you all you need to know about Pixels’ lack of energy. )"
So why aren’t Happy Madison movies good anymore? Can still watch happy gilmore, little Nicky, and Grandmas boy without wanting to kill myself. It seems like he doesnt hire any new writers or just DGAF.
He is old, married, and has kids now. As well as all the people he uses as actors. The majority of his movies use the same actors. That alone gets old.
saw Pixels and think a very limited audience would only like this movie. While there was some funny stuff with regards to Video games of the past, Adam Sandler is the same as always. It was maybe worth a redbox rental, but that is about it.
Most of the people in the movie are there to make a quick buck (IMO) most seem to be calling their parts in because they know people will go see it because of Adam. The movie gets silly fairly quickly and is very easy to see what is going to happen.
Don’t waste you money! There are better movies out to see !
