Load of rubbish!!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This is a very great movie. The visual effects are great, the soundtrack is pretty much amazing and the 80's references work perfectly. Yes, this is not the book and the changes are obvious. The book is far better, but Spielberg worked hard to produce a fair adaptation and deliver a good movie. It's certainly funnier if you get the whole references to the 80's.

So, I am a huge fan of the book and was incredibly worried that the film would not keep in line the fun that the book had, or its about of references. Granted that if the film was to match the book then it would need to be a lot longer! Now, the film, I have watched through fully twice, the first time, I was bitterly disappointed a lot of major parts in the book had been left out, for example Z being captured and hacking IOI, the fallout and separation of Z and Artemis, and the whole way that the first key was found, I loved these parts of the book and was sad not to see them on the big screen. Watching it a second time however has changed my view, what Steven Spielberg has done is brought the Oasis to life, he certainly has made it his own and I have fallen in love with Ready Player One in a whole new way, to me its two seperate things, not a book-to-film. My biggest issue now is there were no Jaws references. Shame that.Thank you Ernest Cline, thank you Steven Spielberg.

I have to be honest, my low rating is because I read the book before I saw the movie. The book captivated me and I could not put it down. The movie really disappointed me because I read the book first. They did not follow the book at all really and that ruined my experience. I think I would have enjoyed the movie a whole lot more if I saw it before I read the book.

Is there anything more poetic than the iron giant fighting mechagodzilla? Yes; seeing Batman climb mt Everest. Fortunately this film had them both.
