Thoughts???

Good cast. I've never read the book (always been a bigger fantasy guy myself) but I'm looking forward to it.

I highly recommend the audiobook read by wil wheaton if you don't have time to read the book yourself. It's on iTunes for not too expensive.

This will be shooting soon. Can't wait for this.

Looks pretty cool. I never thought I'd see a live-action version of a bike from Akira.

I shit myself when I saw the Iron Giant

So many references...

Looks Lame.

Deathstroke... or Deadpool?

Deathstroke I think, as Harley was walking beside him.

That can be answered by which company owns the Film Right to Spawn... so yeah I am guessing it is D-Stroke.

Looks interesting.

Never heard of the book or the film.

Intriguing, indeed.

I'm thinking Deathstroke too since WB's is one of the production companies.

The only reason to watch this movie looks like to spot the Cookies. Other then that....

I splooged when I saw the trailer. I've read the novel, and while this movie looks like it won't make as many deep cuts into 80s nostalgia, it perfectly captured the tone of the story.

Also noticed Freddy Kreuger can be seen in the trailer and also Duke Nukem.

Yep, he was shot down lol.

Dizzy from GoW? Lara Croft. A-Team Van! Harley and Deathstroke? Duke Nukem. Atari Logo on that Akira bike? Halo AR shootin' Freddy Krueger. Leonardo next to Iron Giant? Not sure what else I missed, besides the obvious ones like Iron Giant.

Looks like a lot of fun.

I recently read the book and was entertained, so the movie looks like a win for me.

The author of the book is doing a sequel with input from Spielberg

Looks like mega stimulation overload.

I couldn't be less interested..

I'm sure actual book is good

but i hope there's more to the movie then just game character cameo's.

I will see this but I do agree I'm not excited at all.

Only thing that interested me was the delorean

Yeah, this really looks like trash. I mean, knowing Spielberg it'll probably be pretty well-made trash, but still trash.

I expected Spielberg to sort of embrace modern CGI and various technology, but I honestly never would have expected him to go this far. This is too much.

Saw an early screening of this tonight. Absolutely loved it. There's an entire scene set in The Overlook Hotel from The Shining that is tremendous and where else can you get The Iron Giant and Gundam fighting Mecha-Godzilla.

I saw it in 3D and it was the most unintrusive and flawless application of it so far.

I'm excited to see Ready Player One.

Same. Taking both my kids to it; looks great.

Hoping to get to the teatro for this one for sure.

Has anyone read the novel? One of my film buff buddies remarked, "Hopefully it's better than the book," after seeing the trailer before Black Panther.

EDIT: Changed a word.

EDIT: Changed a word. I've read it and it's a fun book. When the book was first released it was getting universal praise but as soon as something gets too popular there's always people who gang up to hate on it and magnify its issues and belittle its strengths.

But whatever

The book references a lot more obscure gaming history. The movie sticks to more movie references as it works better in the visual medium. The three main puzzles are completely different from the books.

Surprised to hear this movie is good. Thought it kinda looked like shit. Might see it now.

Its got the lady from room 237 in it. You'll have your cock out at the showing. It doesn't have the blowjob bear though.

I dunno, the theater says they've given me my last warning about that.

Popcorn surprise time.

I've heard the movie is heaps better then the book.

Have seen some people who presumed the movie would be shit based on how the book was, so am glad to be hearing some opinions to the contrary.

This could be good but I would bet it will be this years Valerian.

Real Pretty but the story will suck.

Probably going to shove its Climate Change Narrative in the viewers faces.

Yeah, you can PRETEND that LeftyWood don't play that game all you want.

Enjoy your trip to FEE FEE Ville in LaLa Land.

I'm still not particularly swayed by the good reviews for this. It still looks like a mess to me. I'll wait for streaming or something.

Go watch Hardcore Henry instead. A True VR Movie.

Its a thumbs up from

also for me the Mecha-Godzilla in the movie didn't look at like Mecha-Godzilla

it was also good to see Goro in the film and done like how he is in the games

I enjoyed this as well. The movie was a lot of fun even if the plot and characters weren't all that great. Seeing all the various cameos was a blast. In particular, it was great seeing Spartans (from Halo) on the big screen. That's something I gave up seeing a long time ago.

One of the better kid/family films I've seen in some time; defnitely something you want to see on the big screen. It's getting flak for not being good and I don't understand what people expected from a film like this?

I expected a fun adventure film with gobs of nostalgia and great SFX; I got that. I wasn't expecting Oscar-worthy level acting and story when going in.

Thanks for the review. This is what I expect from the film. I will see it, soon. This week, most likely.

That just knoced this down to the Most Def Wait for Home Release before Seeing It List.

So what happened to Firefly?

He was a victim of a Self Perma Ban.

Why would someone request their own ban?

Because "FeeFee's" ???

I can tell this "review" is already more entertaining then this movie...

Yeah thats what confused me too.

Ready Player One (2018). 8/10.

Loads of fun. Much better than I thought it would be after all the negative comments and feedback. Typical Spielberg adventure romp set in a game world with an 80s soundtrack. Pity they couldn't bring everything in the book to screen but nevertheless I enjoyed it.

I just finished this and was pleasantly surprised to find it surprisingly entertaining.

Would recommend.
