Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Matthew J — 14 Apr 2018

TO BE HONEST, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IMMENSLY BETTER AS A tv SERIES THAN AS A MOVIE. tHERE WAS TOO MUCH TO COVER, TOO MANY DETAILS JUST GOT GLOSSED OVER. tHERE WERE SOME MAJOR PLOT JUMPS THAT JUST DIDNT MAKE SENSE IF YOU HADNT READ THE BOOK, AND THE BOOK FAR OUTSHINES THE MOVIE ADAPTATION.

yOU NEVER GET A CHANCE TO IDENTIFY WITH pARZIVAL, INSTEAD HE IS INTRODUCED AS A FAIRLY ESTABLISHED, COMPETANT GAMER. tHE RAMIFICATIONS ARE LOST, DRIVING DOWN TO SIMPLY A GAMERS STORY AND POP CULTURE REFRENCES SEEM GRAUITIOUS OPPOSED TO CRITICAL TO THE PLOT.
