Overrated and overhyped

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great Film overall

An action-packed slog

One point for Romijn's boobs. The rest is awfull. The end.

The remake of Rollerball deserved all the bad reviews it received. Jean Reno who has saved worse movies than this, has his work cut out here.Plot In A Paragraph: In 2005 a character played by Chris Klein joins his best friend played by LL Cool J in playing the most popular sport in the world 'Rollerball' ran by a character played by Jean Reno, it can have some pretty dire consequences like horrific injury or death if it is thought it will boost the ratings. Some of it is so ludicrous I wondered if it was originally conceived as a spoof comedy of the original movie. My advice would be don't watch it give it a miss. Avoid it like the plague. Tell your friends to pass it by. The acting is bad, bad, bad (Chis Klein and L.L Cool J included)I would rather go see a firework display on a very rainy night, than watch this again. Jean Reno deserves much better than this. As for Klein I'm not sure his character is meant to be as funny as he seems. A generous and I mean generous 3/10

At first Roller Ball seemed like a super-violent grudge and sports movie, and nothing more. Just violence, a little sex and no redeeming value. At times I thought it was designed to invoke rage for rage's sake, with the dreaded other. Well, I watched it to the end and I think it is worth watching. If you like heavy metal music, like tough sports and don't mind some violence you'll like the movieRoller Ball is a parable for much of modern life, from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan to professional sports. From police brutality to labor exploitation. Yes there is something more, it isn't pretty, its wonderful. It seems designed to reach an audience with a message that probably wouldn't be open to it otherwise. The audience that might most gravitate to the message, isn't the one that will watch the movie to the end because it is harsh. In its own way it might even be considered uplifting.

Oh dear where can you start? This was a real mess,a plaster board' makeover of the original. An awful attempt to cash in on one of the greatest movies of the 70s. With LL Cool J, Rebecca Romjin, Jean Reno..and the guiding hand of John McTiernan, this should have been fairly good. However it fails miserably on all counts. The Rollerball course was more like a cheap Go Kart/Scateboard Park, for under 5s at a funfair...A far cry from the former Olympic basketball stadium converted in the original movie...The acting, well I've seen better in a cheap bin, in a £1 shop in the UK...Obviously, there was no attempt at method here! I am glad those involved must have been quick to bank their cheques...We will see them on "Cribs" next, showing off their new homes and paraphernalia, probably sporting a Rollerball 2002 poster in a glass frame on some staircase landing...I nearly bought the DVD video, after all the advertising hype...Im glad I did not, I would rather buy £10 of white stewed cabbage and make myself more sick, than I currently am feeling after watching this again...Worst film and my worst IMDb mark Sorry!
