"Rollerball was trash even back in 1975, but in some small way it was ahead of its time. The new version just makes you feel like you've been watching a lame late-night rerun" | ||||
"Some movies should never have been made" | ||||
"Meretricious without being entertaining, it's an easy game -- and an easier film -- to sit out." | ||||

"This oddly scrambled new version eventually falls apart so badly you feel embarrassed for the people who made it." | ||||
"Boring and as obvious." | ||||
"An incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense." | ||||
"Sheer chaos on wheels, a hysterically edited jumble that defies belief at nearly every juncture." |
