As a fan of movies and a fan of the book

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2018)

This is my first time writing a review here, as a fan of movies: I loved it!!!! Spielberg's direction is amazing as it always is, the vfx is absolutely beautiful, and so many pop culture references that I may have to watch this movie again a few times to catch what I missed previously. As a fan of the book: the movie is a little underwhelming as it changed quite a bit from the source material. I won't say what was changed out of respect for those that haven't read/seen this movie yet. But I saw this movie through my perspective of being a fan of movies and the book. See it if you'd like, but it also never hurts to read the book. So grab some popcorn and enjoy this entertaining movie!
