The best critic slams of 'Pixels'

Talk about game over.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James' latest action comedy, Pixels, about aliens who invade the planet as vintage 80s arcade games, was not loved by critics. In fact the movie currently has a low 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. We rounded up the best critic slams of the movie.

Los Angeles Times:

"Some movies are so interminable that it seems they might never end, while others are assembled with such indifference that you are essentially left waiting for them to start. Pixels somehow manages both."

Globe and Mail:

"Pixels is a movie without wit, without jokes, with nothing to say but plenty to regurgitate."

Toronto Star:

"While the concept is a cut above the usual Sandler swill, the comedy isn't. The script might as well have been penned by the same clueless aliens doing the invading."

The Associated Press:

"Pixels is also insanely sexist, culminating with the winning male characters each rewarded with a woman. Seriously, they get human women as prizes. They literally call one a trophy."

Variety:

"A dimwitted '80s nostalgia trip best appreciated by those who have waited years for Adam Sandler's fine-grained intelligence and Chris Columbus' filmmaking mastery to finally converge."

The AV Club:

"Even on its own silly terms, Pixels is not a very good movie; it's painted up like a Ghostbusters-style fantasy-comedy but plays like so many slapdash Happy Madison productions before it."

Salon:

"For a movie that's supposedly about delivering weightless, uncomplicated fun, Pixels is an overwhelmingly sad experience."
