Spielberg, Make Your Own Movie

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2018)

"Ready Player One", a book adaptation taken up by renowned director Steven Spielberg has too much hack in it to be a great movie. I understand its a video-game smorgasbord, from a book, but the rip-offs and references are gratuitous and obsessive. Misplaced and overused music littered the runtime - I mean Twisted Sister? Please. Ripping off from Excalibur spell chant? Terminator - blah Directors and film companies, unless making sequels really ought to leave older movies alone. The hacks aren't all poor luckily, the Shining homage is well done and entertaining. Still its not enough to make for a good movie 6/10 Mixed
