  1. A turbo-charged remake that should alienate no fans of the adrenalized 1975 original.
  2. The game itself is meaningless, and the movie, much the same way, likes it like that.
  3. Some movies should never have been made, and high on that list is the addled new remake of Rollerball.

  1. I guess the phrase don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case the cast, is rather true. I thought this was going to be a decent film having LL Cool J and Chris Klein in it, but boy was that way off. The plot of the film from the beginning just seems rushed, undeveloped, and just plain stupid. Probably even worse was the acting which just seemed so over done on every line in the script. The funniest part had to come during the night escape scene on the motorcycle in the desert towards the end of the film. If the night vision screen wasn't funny enough, the clip art sound byte that played twice to mimic wire breaking was just ridiculous. Overall yet another disappointingly horrible film. Expand

    A real disappointment - I didn't expect a copy of the original but I didn't expect something to be this bad. I thought it might get better after a bad start - but it manages to go down hill all the way to the end. It is beyond belief that it could be rated a ten by anyone. Expand

  3. Having just seen this on cable, I wanted to see if there were any scores above a 1. But as long as I'm here... Not even a so bad it's good, just... bad. Expand
