Spielberg does it right

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2018)

Making RPO in to a movie was never an easy task. Taking over 15 hours (audiobook) of dense storyline, details and loads of 80s culture and make it a 2h movie is an impossible task. So again I applaud how Spielberg made it work.
The movie is more a complement to the book than an adoption, and I think that decision was really great. The overall storyline is the same with the competition, characters and main narrative. But all details on the adventures, puzzles, challenges and interaction are basicly totally different from the book.
So instead of saying "oh he got that right", or "he got that so wrong" or "why wasnt THAT in", it now stand on its own fully.
Looking forward to RP2 in both book, audio, movie and VR game!
