Don't listen to the book nerds!

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2018)

Don't get me wrong! I love a good book as much as I love a good movie! But 9 out of 10 book to movie adaptations are going to be pretty bad.
I never read the book so maybe that's why I really enjoyed this film?!
And I am not the biggest fan of the genre nor the crew behind it (sorry Steven, you kinda sold out lately) however this actually was a joy to watch!
I'm a 70's baby so my youth was spent in the 80's and I got all (most?!) of the pop cult ref's and while many are complaining about said references I'll bet dollars to donuts even they didn't get half of them! So subtle and perfectly placed!
It is a great movie from beginning to end, not too short or long and just really well done.
It takes a lot to impress me these days, but I give it 2 thumbs up.
