...Pac Man is a bad guy?

Damnit. That made me laugh.

It looks better than I expected. Will watch.

... I don't like Columbus. I have never really like Sandler. Like Dinklage. Like that it's about videogames. Hate the two fat guys.

Mixed bag for me. But... it's edging on me really wanting to see this.

I was really hoping that the tone would be more like a modern day Ghostbusters, instead we're getting a Adam Sandler movie.

Never heard of this movie. High concept is neat. If I can make my way through it without too many eye rolls, it might be good!

Probably Sandler's last shot at getting good box office.

With the Netflix deal in place you're probably right. Grown Ups 2 (2013) was his last movie to crack $100m.

Nice posters, but didn't we see this story already in an early episode of Futurama?

It was like a 6 minute part of an episode (Trilogy of Interest or something like that). Plenty of room to expand on it, and it was a mix of good and bad videogame characters, not all bad.

I actually enjoyed Evolution. Then again, I haven't seen it in years so who knows if it even holds up.

I cant watch anything that has Sandler in a starring role.

I find most of his movies pretty watchable. They aren't particularly funny, and certainly aren't great, but other than That's My Boy I don't genuinely have a problem with them.

I like the posters. The trailer looks awful. This works better as an animated movie like Wreck-It Ralph. There is no weight or menace to the animated characters here in the real world.

Also Sandler continues to be the worst.

You do realize there are preview shows usually a week or more in advance, right?

I figured Adam Sandler and Kevin James would be the kiss of death for this movie but with the video game angle it might be interesting.

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Josh Gad starring in a film directed by Chris Columbus and written by the team that brought us such classics like Grown Ups 2?

Pretty sure it's going to suck.
