You Need to count to 3! no more, no less.

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2018)

This is not the book. anyone looking for the story in the book to come to life should change their expectation. This is a hollywood movie.
But it's good, it takes some inspiration and unique ideas from a book, and adds hollywood cheese on top, what you get is an enjoyable movie.
they could have explained a little more, like why when your in danger of being killed people don't just take their head gear off and leave the game... or how the main guy needs a running machine to play but others are just playing in the street or on the sofa...
But the action is great, def one for the big screen and 3D, the tributes to movies and computer games from the 80's to present is constant throughout and the references to these are well done (although surely he should have counted to 3 before throwing the hand grenade!!)
