Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Ajzeg01 — 21 Sep 2019
This movie was dumb, but cool. It had a stupid story with dumb characters, but I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for huge franchise crossover event films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Wreck-It Ralph, and The LEGO Movie (the Batman one too)! Just seeing all these recognizable characters on screen all at once is great to have! I could rewatch this movie 5 times and still not catch them all! The animation was really well-done, but the live-action segments felt very dull in comparison.
The comedy was hit or miss, but the action was thrilling! If you love pop culture, you’ll find at least some enjoyment in this movie. There is something for everyone here. As a whole, the movie is only okay, but I think that fact alone makes it one of the best book-to-movie adaptations ever made! The fact that director Steven Spielberg was able to make a decent movie out of a book where half of it was just the author listing things that he likes is AMAZING!! It’s worth a watch! Wreck-It Ralph and Scott Pilgrim vs The World are better, though.
