I feel similarly to many of you; I don't care for Sandler's work at all. But I kind of hope that this movie could be good despite him? Peter Dinklage is in it, too, and he looks funny in it. I have the feeling that Dinklage's part in it won't be very big, and they're just making sure to feature him in the advertisements to attempt to make people forget about Adam Sandler. But where Adam Sandler goes, Peter Dante and/or Nick Swardson can't be far behind, and I'm just going to assume this is going to be Bucky Larson level garbage.

Well, movie ads are usually edited to be horribly manipulative.

I like Sandler's early stuff (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, his comedy CDs), but his modern work is just terrible. Actually a lot of comedy films over the years don't interest me that much. They try too hard. I don't know, even Adam Sandler at his best only results in a movie that is ok, but not a classic. Anyway I have to echo what everyone else and their grandmother says about this movie, it's a neat premise but the presence of Adam Sandler ensures I certainly wont see it in theaters, if I see it at all.

This is where the joke is because Mega Man is here or whatever the fuck* *i don't know if mega man is in the movieIt's not even Megaman. It's just classic arcade games. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders. So, pretty much what people with no knowledge of video games can still understand. Mega Man would be too obscure for the average movie-goer. I mean, this is pretty clearly not trying to be a movie for gamers. And the title doesn't even make any sense. The video game characters are 3D. They're made of blocks, not pixels.

This is another thing that bothers me, they really couldn't add any characters beyond the most stereotypical, obvious ones? How about Simon Belmont whipping the shit out of people at least?

I think there's enough nerd-rage without having to resort to messing with Simon or any other more complicated character with more personality. Put I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Minecraft reference, like in a form of creeper.

You know, I will give Sandler some credit for doing something a bit out of his wheelhouse, maybe he means this movie to be a "peace offering" to the nerds who hate him? At the very least I'm sure it'll be leagues ahead of something like Jack and Jill.

I'm pretty sure he just saw the enormous success of The Big Bang Theory, another "nerd" show with only the most mainstream of "nerd" references and plethora of jokes that would work in any standard comedy, and tries to ride that bandwagon.

Creepy Unlikeable Nerdy Guy: "Man when you get angry it's like mild mannered Bruce Banner and then wham!!" Conventionally Hot Woman Who Inexplicably Hangs Around a Group of Nerdy Assholes: "I don't know what that means."
See the joke is that Bruce Banner is the Hulk and the Hulk is mad.
Because nerds can't talk about anything without relating it back to a nerd thing.

I was mildly curious about this movie until I read that Adam Sandler was involved in it. After that I pretty much lost interest. Not that I had much anyways.
I don't think anything will ever top Jack & Jill in pure badness.

Did you also complain that most dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are from the Cretaceous? Complain, no, but I did know, actually. I know somebody who studied history and he always geeks out when something is depicted wrong or something. Well, at least with jurassic, people generally don't know what the fuck that period was like. Pixels on the other hand...everybody knows what a pixel is. I like how a staff member from a site that frequently covers games that only, like, 3 people have heard of called me a nerd, though.
