It's great, but the book is way better.

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2018)

Ready Player One was a masterpiece as a book, but if they kept every detail from the book and put it into a film, it would be a hot mess. Spielberg took the initial idea, and created a great film. The challenges in the book are not movie material, and would only sell to a niche audience, but when you have less obscure references, a larger audience is included. The movie is definitely worth a watch for anyone, but I highly recommend reading the book first.
The comedy was hilarious, action sequences were interesting and chocked full of Easter eggs. The movie didn't force too many references, and they don't add too much to the plot. It's also fun to watch and count everything you can see. A great soundtrack. My only problems come from the fact that they had to cut a lot from the book, and they didn't get the licensing to a lot of stuff. Overall, a great movie, that I would recommend anyone watch.
