Horrible, Disaster

Rating: 1/10 (6 April 2018)

What a horrendous disaster. I can't believe how terrible. Honestly, I didn't think the masterful Steven Spielberg could make a movie so bad. And how did Ernest Cline allow his brilliant novel to get turned into something so unlike his original work? That sense of nostalgia, the feelings of awe & wonder we felt reading the novel is NOT present in the movie. Where is JOUST, and role-playing WAR GAMES, or playing a perfect game of PAC-MAN? How could ULTRAMAN not be included? All those 80s references we love were omitted. In this disaster movie, Parzival wins the keys, deciphers the clues and ultimately wins the OASIS in a manner completely different than the novel. What a huge disappointment.
