A VFX masterpiece & a pop culture classic

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2018)

First of all yes, it's different than the book, that being said I still LOVED the movie, not just the movie but how people reacted to it in the cinema, you could hear gasps and "oh my God!" "this is so cool" every time a classic made an appearance on screen. There are so many hidden easter eggs and references that i will probably rewatch the movie a few times just to spot them all.
The special effects are AMAZING, really really amazing, Industrial Light & Magic are THE masters in their craft, this was such a complex movie in terms of VFx and animation but the result is perfection.
The only "negative" thing I would point out (and it's not even about the movie per say) would be the closing credits (i know the majority of people don't care about this but oh well), I expected a MARVELesque very visual type of credits but it was old school black background white typo kinda thing.
Overall i'd say go watch it, and if you have read the book, give it a chance!
