I read the book

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2018)

...and I see this movie as an amazing version. No, it's not the book, but if you see it as a separate entity, it's amazing.
The CGI...the CONSTANT pop culture references...the video game immersion that all gamers dream of...the humor....the intense moments...it's everything a movie should be...
I will always love the book for what it is...but I'm loving the movie for what it is.
(I read the book 4 times and recently...so this isn't just visual satisfaction)
