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.

Had a blast with this it was very true to Spielberg’s 80s formula and some of the fight sequences towards the end

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.

Fly’s act is old and boring AF now. Pissing and moaning about every topic in every thread makes him look like such a pussy.

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.
