First of all the original film needs to be rated much higher on this site. Anything below an 8 never mind a 7 is criminal. 6.6 ?Anyway back to this utter **** up remake. McTiernan you ought to be thoroughly ashamed to even call this film 'Rollerball'. Was the editor being fxxxed up the arse sideways while he pressed the buttons?? $70,000,000 budget on what - plastic surgery for the acting line-up and foie gras sandwiches?What in hell's name was the film about? It was disjointed and impossible to follow. Dialogue - forget it. The characters barely developed during the whole film and you couldn't care if they got bludgeoned to death during the game anyway.Save your money or down a few pints instead !!

Fanboys, enough already! Its a really good action flick...This is where the fan boys get stuck at, "oh no! not a remake of my favorite movie of all time!". Does that mean the "favorite of all time" always makes the remake the "worse of all time", i say no, not at all. So don't be fooled by all the negative comments by those fan boys, because it doesn't give justice to this very well done, fast pace action pack movie.OK, i have to admit i'm a fan of the original and thats what attracted me to see this movie. Although at first i was a bit shocked by the flagrant differences with the original, i've then decided to let that fact go and just let the movie drive me, and you know what, it did his job, which is to entertain me. Yes, the plot, if we can called it that, is somewhat nonexistent, and the script doesn't deliver any memorable moments, because it was intended that way, its typical with all action flicks. I was happy i give this movie a chance with an open mind(keep in mind its an action flick though). Considering all the facts, my final note: 6.5 In conclusion, i hope you'll give this movie a chance, just forget about the original, watch it purely for the action and you won't regret it.

This film looked like a cheap remake, but i was quite surprised.All the actors put in good performance, and the story is quite interesting. People who like gory violent films will find this film amazing. The whole idea of a sport where people are deliberately hurt or killed to make the ratings higher is interesting. The love interest between Jonathan (Chris Klein)and Arora (Rebecca Romijn - Stamos) makes the film just a little bit more fun.There are no boring bits in this film, there is always something happening which will catch your attention.Overall this film is a good film to watch when there is nothing on TV, or if you like violent sport films.

because it's missing something. The biggest flaw is Chris Klein, he is the most bland actor that I have ever seen. How does a pretty boy like him survive in a bloody, winner take all game like Rollerball? More than that, he doesn't have the charisma to lead a movie. Adding to the problem is that there isn't enough going on in this movie aside from distracting night vision scenes. There isn't any of the social commentary that the original had or the tense action scenes, it fails on both fronts. The only solace is some of the cast: Jean Reno, Ice Cube, and Rebecca Romijn. Ice Cube would have made a better lead and a much more believable Rollerballer with his body. But, as is, This is mess that is best forgotten.
