80s Kid Enjoyed the Book, Loved the Movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2019)

I had low expectations going into this movie but hoped Spielberg could pull it off. Boy did he! The movie was great! I grew up playing all the games in the book and I loved the fact that the movie brought in several new references. The music was great too - Twisted Sister - oh yeah! What's wrong with changing things up a bit from the book? The new 80s references were great! The overall story was the same and is a good one. My whole family loved it - even my teenage kids who are gamers too and also read the book. It was good clean family entertainment all the way!
