I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but I was really eager to check it out anyway. I have to admit that I was already sold with the 8 bit Universal logo. And I think that was the main issue with this flick. Basically, it was made for a very speficic audience and other people wouldn't care for it, I'm afraid. I mean, if you have never been into gaming specifically the older games from the 80's and the 90's or if you never cared for those, all the video games references will be lost on you and they might even bother you. As far as I was concerned, I thought it was awesome though. But it didn't stop there, no, that was just the beginning... I had never seen a movie with such an ADHD syndrome and it is also something that can wear you down pretty quickly but, once again, for me, it made the whole thing even more appealing. Of course, the characters were really cartoony but most of them were pretty funny and the whole thing just looked awesome. Personally, I had so much fun watching this and I actually enjoyed it more than 'Kick-Ass' which was released the same year. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is absolutely an acquired taste, I really enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in a ADHD gaming obsessed movie.
8/10
