Fun and Dumb!

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2018)

SPOILER FREE
Fun, dumb and more fun! It may look like a kids movie but if I'm honest, unless you're over 30 and have played a lot of video games in your day, this movie may not be for you. I however, fit that category. I thought it was unique, exciting and great fun. I wouldn't care if I never saw it again but I still enjoyed myself. There were some eye rolls here and there story wise, but in Spielberg fashion, the acting and directing was great. Mark Rylance and Ben Mendelsohn killed it. So good. The main hero characters could have been recast in my opinion. They were good but nothing special. Now the Visual Effects were insanely amazing. An impressive visual spectacle with movie and video game references galore. And I mean GALORE. Like almost too much haha! Sound design of Spielberg's team was flawless and impressive yet again. Music was good but not great. Not too many memorable themes but still helped tell the story. Oh and one more thing I have to mention, the fight choreography and how it was shot was amazing! Wasn't too much of it but it was noticeably great. Compared to say, Black Panther where is was choppy editing and CGI cartoon feel. Anyway, not recommend for all audiences but if you happen to fit the target audience, you'll enjoy it for sure!
