Spielberg is back!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2019)

I get that there are differences between the book and the movie adaptation but what people seem to forget is that Ernest Cline (the author of the book) co-wrote the screenplay. He had a significant input adapting his book into what translated onto the screen. That being said, I have not read the book and based my opinion purely off of what I saw. This was such an amazing nostalgic thrill ride to watch. The pure 80's vibe collaborated with the ever changing world of RPG video games was what made this come alive. This story is what people have wanted from Hollywood for forever. A story that sucks you in, gives you someone to root for and delivers you to a time/place that either brings back the best of the past or allows you to see what the future could be. Fantastic ride from beginning to end, welcome back Spielberg!
