It was okay until the credits rolled and I found the AUTHOR WAS ONE OF THE SCREEN WRITERS

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2018)

How many authors have fits when hollywood butchers the soul of their novel? Ernest Cline had the golden opportunity to faithfully reproduce a fantastic story as 1 of the 2 screenplay writers. What did he do? He reduced the fun and interesting quest for the first key to.... a car race... win the race, get the key... wow! What a novel innovative idea... SERIOUSLY???
I have to assume Speilberg never read the story or he wouldn't have agreed to direct the film, at least I hope he wouldn't caved like that... Maybe they just paid him a boatload of money.
I'll say the movie was okay standing all by itself. I'm sitting there in the theater thinking, okay, I expected the screenwriters to change the story, it's okay, it could have been worse. It was at least fun... then the credits start to roll and one of the first to roll by is the screenwriters and then I was ticked! Ernest Cline! What the hell were you thinking? Are you just simply out there to make a buck? I'm disappointed to say the least. YOU HAD THE POWER TO CONTROL THIS AND STILL DROVE IT OFF THE TRACKS! Sad....
