Critics have been pretty hard on it but a lot of people I know have seen it with opinions varying anywhere between average to good, also they all agreed its a pretty fun movie.Scarim Coral said:I kind of suprise that Terminator Genisys wasn't on the list so horay, it wasn't so bad?
From what I've heard, Terminator wasn't actually that bad. It wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't "bad" either. Basically the best way I could describe the reviews that I've seen for it is "Better than I expected it would be", the "I" being the reviewer, as I haven't seen the movie myself.Scarim Coral said:I kind of suprise that Terminator Genisys wasn't on the list so horay, it wasn't so bad?
I'd replace "Boy Next Door" with "The Loft". Did you see that one? The former was terrible and stupid, but fairly benign. The latter was mean spirited and insulting to everyone, in every way. Terrible writing, terrible script, terrible acting and delivery. From start to finish every second was chore. Absolute shit.Marter said:The Worst Films of 2015 (So Far)

In that same review, he mentioned not haven watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. So you never know ;-)RJ 17 said:OT: If MovieBob's review of Pixels is anything to go by, that movie should probably have ousted Blart as #1 Worst Movie Thus far. I mean hell, he ends his rant/review by saying "Fuck this movie, fuck everyone that made this movie, and if you paid money to see this movie: FUCK YOU!"
Granted, Bob does have a tendency to get worked up pretty easily over bad movies and I'm sure his spite was fueled at least in some part by his retro Nintendo obsession, but still...his review was "very scathing", to say the least.
His review of it stated that it is basically OK, 6/10 (3 stars) IIRC. God knows why Genisys was generally shit on, though, it's a fun film even if the story is an incoherent mess.Scarim Coral said:I kind of suprise that Terminator Genisys wasn't on the list so horay, it wasn't so bad?
The thing about Zelda games is that they actually change, and warrant a name that is different than their predecessors because of it. The colon only makes it easier to name your sequel if your sequel is different in some way.Elementary - Dear Watson said:Also... if you are going to put a colon in your title, doesn't that mean that it is easier to name a sequel?
Just look at others. Zelda for instance. Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of time and Legend of Zelda: Syward Sword
Surely you would just make it Paul Blart: [insert title which isn't Mall Cop here]?
I saw The Loft, although it took me a while after its release because it never got a theatrical release here. It's bad, but at least its mystery kind of works, at least in the sense that I wanted to see it through, which is why it wouldn't make the list.vagabondwillsmile said:I'd replace "Boy Next Door" with "The Loft".

Surely that is just proof of lack of creativity?BarbaricGoose said:The thing about Zelda games is that they actually change, and warrant a name that is different than their predecessors because of it.

If every Zelda game took place in, say, the Fire Temple, it would be harder to name them; Legend of Zelda: Fire Temple. Now what do you call the sequel? Legend of Zelda: Fire Temple 2, that's what.
You are aware that Sandler actually bought the rights to the idea from Patrick Jean, that Jean also got writing credits for the Sandler abomination, and even acted as executive producer for it?Xsjadoblayde said:Oh one little bit of info; the only good thing you mentioned about Pixels...It has not only been done before and better, it is also where they got their "inspiration" from.

Yes, but that makes it no less a copy. They are merely paying for the privilege to not be sued. Executive producer is a bit of a loose term for involvement, it could solely mean securing the rights to a project to overseeing the entire creative process. It is the sort of hussie credit, if you will.Janichsan said:You are aware that Sandler actually bought the rights to the idea from Patrick Jean, that Jean also got writing credits for the Sandler abomination, and even acted as executive producer for it?Xsjadoblayde said:Oh one little bit of info; the only good thing you mentioned about Pixels...It has not only been done before and better, it is also where they got their "inspiration" from.

It wan't exactly "copied"; the creator of the 2010 Pixels, Patrick Jean, sold the rights to it for six figures.Xsjadoblayde said:I appreciate the alternatives given for movies that do what these movies failed to, especially when you see a respectable actor that often may be the only tempting reason to watch...knowing they show their talent in better films within the genre is great news. Yes, i am going to watch that other Adrian Brody heist flick.
