Robert P @Superbad Sep 2, 2026 Even though this is an old movie i.e. no bad language it was great to see Matthew in top form. But the movie is dated, so I am forced to give it 3 and 1/2 stars.

See more Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Jul 13, 2026 An ingenious, brilliantly written and exciting drama with great suspense and joy. Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy are perfect here and Dabney Coleman and Barry Corbin are delightful. You are kind of scared watching here what could be but it’s a very fun movie with a few laugh out loud moments strewn in.

See more Phil H. @PapercutsAndJumpcuts Feb 18, 2026 WarGames is one of those movies that could’ve aged like a floppy disk… & somehow didn’t. I saw it in early high school, right as I was getting exposed to computers, which is probably why it imprinted on me — & on most of Gen X — as less sci-fi than documentary anxiety. It’s not really about hacking; it’s about adults building a machine that takes their worst instincts literally. Young Ferris Bueller, I mean Matthew Broderick, isn’t a mastermind, just a curious kid, so the danger feels accidental instead of villainous. The movie’s quiet terror (which I didn’t realize until a recent rewatch, oh, 40+ years later) is that nobody’s evil… just certain. And once certainty gets wired into a computer it stops blinking. The whole thing lands on that simple truth: sometimes the only winning move is not to play… not because that’s poetic, but because grown-ups with buttons shouldn’t treat the world like a scoreboard.
