I have read the book 8-10 times...

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2019)

Hated the movie the first time seeing it. Actually I walked out of the movie after 30-40 minutes because I was utterly disappointed with the story not following the book what so ever. A race with cars to start off the whole thing?? C'mon that is just ridiculous. New characters joining in, not even in the book. Characters FROM the book with a totally different storyline?
It was a disaster! I cursed Steven Spielberg for ruining my picture of RPO. I could not forgive Ernest Cline for participating and writing a script so far away from the book.
Cut to present day.
I saw it premiered on Netflix.
First I thought no way! I was so disappointed, and promised myself never to watch that sh.. ever again.
Then I checked out all the reviews on IMDB saying it was actually a very cool movie. Ok, I had nothing else to do, and pressed play, thinking I would turn it off again or just look down on my phone or whatever.
At the same time I promised myself I would see the movie without thinking about the book, storyline, plot and so on.
And daaaaamn! The movie is actually not that bad! It's a cool story. Retro "back to the Future" soundtrack. Incredible CGI. And good casting to the different characters. Exciting developments and almost tearfull ending. ðŸ˜€
Anyway. I have never changed my opinion of a movie so much from the first (half) time seeing it. Thumps up!
