Not bad overall, you know nothing special either.

This was the worst movie ever! It's the only movie I have ever got up and walked out of. Went with my mom and my son.My mom went and complained to the manager and we got free tickets to go watch something worth our time. Don't go, it was horrible.

Okay, so I thought I was gonna love this movie because the previews make it look awesome, but I was disappointed... It was at best a mediocre movie. Good idea, bad storyline, great acting, good graphics, but it just didn't hold my attention. The beginning of the movie was horrible, there was just way too much going on. My husband and I aren't surprised that critics gave it a 2. It's a movie that was worth seeing once, but definitely not worth seeing again, and not worth buying at all. Thank god for Gerard Butler, he was yummy to look at the whole time.

the only think good about this movie was the concept. They took everything way farther than they needed to. they kept building on two things in the movie when they should've been moving on. the battle scenes were mediocre. the hand to hand combat near the end against the multiple men was dizzying and couldn't tell which was gerard part of the time. Most of the scenes in this movie had no substance and were unneeded. thank you gerard for being a good actor and letting me at least enjoy part of this movie.

I give this movie a 4 star rating. I'm glad that I do NOT listen to critics b/c if I did I wouldn't have gone to see it. Good plot. Kept my interest and Gerard looked delicious.

I also expected to hate this movie based on the critic's reviews and based on the fact that I am a critical movie goer and love to dissect layers of a film. My husband and I are small business owners and love playing video games. (One of our only escapes during these hard times...) Gamer does a great job of delivering the scenario of mind control and using our society as the players and the played. (Felt like "Gears of War" was brought to life.) The problem with this movie falls on the underlying political ideology that relates to our society today, and this is why I believe the critics panned Gamer. I am pleasantly shocked that Hollywood allowed this movie to be made due to the fact that the people in Gamer are controlled because, as Ludicis's character says - "After our government went bankrupt cuz the insurance companies went bankrupt"...chaos arose. This gutsy movie took a bird’s eye view of where our country could be twenty years from now. Beware, this idea could be very disturbing, yet enlightening, especially for people with at least half a brain or who are perplexed about the direction of our country. All others will miss the deeper meaning and may trivialize this movie as frivolo

I don't play video games but I like a good sci-fi with a creative twist on technology and human behavior. I thought this was a great film, I was expecting the usual gratuitous crap and cheesy dialog, but it ended up being surprisingly clever and not over done. The movie kept me interested by being eye popping and not entirely predictable. I think we'll see it become a techno-sci-cult fav like running man, blade runner, or hackers.

Saw it last night...and didn't think I'd like it cause of all the bad reviews...BUT I really thought it was good! Lot's of action, and yes there was nudity, but not bad at all! There was a good story with lots of drama with Butler escaping and trying to get to his wife and daughter. All and all I think I'd see it again just to see the last 10 minutes with that fantastic fight scene.
