Pixels was a cute film. Cuter than I expected it to be. Normally, trailers make films look better than they are, but in the case of Pixels, I ended up enjoying the film quite a bit more than I thought I was going to based on the trailers.
Â
Additionally, I've never been a big fan of Adam Sandler movies. He's pretty consistent, I'll give him that, but since I was pretty much a kid, I've always thought his work was good ol' fun, but nothing great.
Â
Pixels sprinkles that with some nostalgia, which helps boost the film's significance. Any fan of comedies and/or video games is sure to consider Pixels, at the very least, not time wasted.
Â
Also helping Sandler's cause is the fact that the last movie I watched was Batman vs Superman, and, well, that's all that needs to be said about that.
Â
Ultimately, I'm glad I watched Pixels. The CG isn't bad, and neither is the story. Dinklage adds some quality to the film and Monaghan's character certainly doesn't hurt either.
Â
If you're under the impression this film is trash, and you're a fan of at least one of the two previously mentioned genres, I say go for it!
