Gamer

I did read comments about it before seeing it, and heard that it was bad. I went to the movies to see it a few nights ago with a friend. I have to say I agree with the bad comments. The... Full review

The subject is offering - but the way of making it true, sorely lacking...! The main flaw is the lack of consistency of ALL characters - these two guys don't know that you need CREDIBLE FLESHY HUMANS to make a story... Full review

I know a lot of people don't like this movie. Why I can't understand. Perhaps if they watched the whole film they would begin to get it. Gamer burns an image of humanities values, trends, and weaknesses as we move inevitably... Full review

Funnily, the movie does verge toward something interesting and possibly intriguing at two or three places. But alas--- nothing whatsoever came of any of that, and the plot simply oozed on, spreading outwards like the sludge from a spilt toxic waste... Full review

I must say I play videogames, I go to work, I have friends with who I hang out outside of my house, I'm not perfect and was offended by this movie. I have no idea what the creators thought to achieve... Full review

I can't recall the last time I walked time I walked out on a film...and I don't think I've ever asked for my money back, but "Gamer" was so bad right out of the gate, it set a precedent for me.... Full review

To who ever wrote "Thought Provoking"..... wow your thoughts are provoked quite easily. Save your money or just go see GI Joe and laugh at that while still being able to say, "Eh, I saw it." "Well played, Tillman." Best line... Full review

I really don't know where to start for this one. I'll probably start by telling everyone that I'm a very generous person in terms of giving vote for movies. For instance, I never gave a vote below than 5 for a... Full review

Well we went to see The Gamer, and I have to say we got played. What the hell went wrong? Lets see Gerard Butler, checked, John Leguizamo, checked, Ludicrous, checked, heck even Terry Crews is in the movie. Good to great... Full review

I was really looking forward to watching this movie. The storyline was promising and i actually like Gerard Butler. After half an hour im thinking to myself ... OK this has GOTTA get better, but sadly it didn't, it got a... Full review

What it does have to offer, 'Gamer' does right.....Amidst the mindless violence and garish, sexual imagery (Neveldine & Taylor seem to use shots of bare breasts and dialogue about porn stars as commas), there are some interesting elements to the film.....You have to enjoy the action on strictly surface level alone, though.....So much more could have been explored in this relationship, particularly since the player, played well by Logan Lerman, isn't a one-note character..... ...

Gamer" is a painfully bad film founded on a painfully bad premise that doesn't seem in any way, shape, or form complete.....In other words, the finished film is completely dead from the neck up..... ... Full Review

Gamer " is the standard action yarn....Mind-numbing action, bland characters, plot holes as big as the eye can see, and a high concept idea....The one saving grace of this film is one Mr. Terry Crews, who plays the villainous Hackman.....the exceptional cast (which includes the likes of John Leguizamo, Alison Lohman, and Kyra Sedgwick) is given little or nothing to do..... ...

Gamer" is tolerable in a few of its action sequences....you can't help but wonder why Universal Studios hasn't called out Lionsgate to some sort of bad action film duel.....it's not even worth discussing..... ... Full Review

to be honest, the movie has no proper finale.....At least the movie is honest.....opened the door for films worthy of just such a ham-fisted hero.....The choreography of a few key scenes is impressive, with SUVs flying and flipping in slow motion....The first two acts are awesome displays of undisguised violence, full of random death and unnecessary computer glitch graphics..... ...
