Not the book but a great long-lasting fun movie.

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2020)

Right off the bat, i read the book and it was a real fun thing. Its IMPOSSIBLE to fill the details of this rich book into a movie. I was biased and expected the worst when i saw this book adaptaion the first time. Surprising to me, i really liked it. Ernest Cline co-wrote the screenplay which made sure that the overall story was still legit to the book. I hated the CGI in the beginning but you quickly get used to the style and makes sense as the story goes and you get sucked in. I have seen this movie three times now because its an easy story and promised fun to get sucked in like in old Spielberg classics. We know the stories, we have seen the films but we still watch them again and again. Funny enough, because of the book, this movie makes a lot of Spielberg references ans makes even more sense that none other than Spielberg directed this pop culture reference movie. Definetly a recommandation for an easy fun movie night.
