    One of the more positive reviews I've seen. Not sure what to think as there are those who claim it's just one giant nostalgia-pudding. Maybe I should go see for myself? Nah, that would be way too radical.

      The nostalgia is just a bonus, main plot is its own original thing. The references/easter eggs make no impact on the actual story.

      @magmovies9323 6 лет назад +6

      TheHitherto - The movie is nothing but references at every corner and tries to bank off your nostalgia (in which, many are letting happen to them, including Mark himself to my disappointment. Look what he spends the *majority* of his review talking about lol). I am no book reader but those fans are pissed for a reason and I am very sure the book is miles better than this style over substance movie.

    Really wonderful and highly ebjoyable movie! This is the Spielberg that I've missed since the 90's. Sure, he has made some really good (more serious) movies... but I'm a bigger fan of his blockbuster stuff! Loved it!

  • @kenchun24
    @kenchun24 6 лет назад +3

    I loved RPO too Mark! Like you, I was smiling with glee with this latest Spielberg joint when the credits started to roll. RPO was classico Spielberg blockbuster entertainment - a pure sci-fantasy action adventure (with heart) that any film buff, hardcore gamer, music lover, Baby Boomer, (my Gen X folks like "Halliday"), Millennial, and Gen Z can find something to enjoy thematically, and 'member berries reference wise...
    I was surprised how much I dug the Oasis and the main casts cgi avatars in said Oasis as much as I did, I gave a crap about the High 5 Clan and their quest.
    - THAT one particular sequence was fantastic!
    - Random: "Anal nathrach, orth bhais's bethad, do chel denmha!" - Merlin's Charm of Making (Excalibur) the Glaive weapon (from Krull), and early '80s style Gundam were the references I really dug.

    Mark is someone i admire very much. He's someone who understands what the best cinema can do, or should do. He is a fountain of knowledge, specifically when it comes to the genre of Horror...he's the guy you wanna listen to, also it helps that Mark has a PHD in Horror fiction. He is incredibly intelligent, very genuine, and from what I've heard from people who have met him, he is a very nice person, and wants to engage with young people as well.

    Did not enjoy having read the book.
    Stripped 80’s references to make it appeal to a younger audience.
    Took away the world building.
    Made sorento into a casual “dude” no longer the cold calculating ceo
    Made Daito, Shoto and og into background characters
    Took away the magic of art3mis appearance ( which was revealed at the end of the book)
    Gave wade waaaayyyy to much money at the start
    Forgot he was a high school student
    Made the movie a flat, 2d, shallow action flick
    Not loyal to book
    No depth to the puzzles, that seem kinda random and not explained properly
    No gritty reality check
    No wade locking him self away or shady business acts
    No tragedy to events, solutions quick simple, no real danger
    But .....
    Good character design
    Nice mini refs to some video games
    Good cgi and sets
    Creative fights and action
    Good for the casual
    HORRIBLE IF YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK.

      @kompostdoktor1503 6 лет назад +1

      Totally agree. The movie lacks the aspects that made the book so good. (Basically every movie adaptation ever tho)

    • @danielseaton3504
      @danielseaton3504 6 лет назад

      Overwatch I guess Needed to be a 2 part movie if it was gonna fit everything in it.A lot of things were rushed and poignant moments weren't there when they perhaps should of been,but I can look past it because it was so fun and the positives heavily outweighed the negatives.

  • @nonamer29
    @nonamer29 6 лет назад +1

    This was a good review. The key word for me was fun. That is what my son & I had when we watched it. I think that was the intent though. I'm in the process of listening to the audio book & noticed that the omission of how in-depth the OASIS plays into society & the extensive explanation of particular moments was a big difference. It didn't take away how much I enjoyed it. No mentions that this script was crafted by 2 people, one of them the author of the book. There was probably a meeting between them of what direction to take to make this story filmable without alienating core fans of the book, but to appeal to general movie audience.

    I watched this in a packed theatre of all ages and enjoyed it thoroughly as did the young kids next to me. They were scared, laughing and were totally engrossed by it. It reminded me of watching such films as a youngster and getting that feeling of pure enjoyment. Just enjoy it for the fun film it is and my one word review is "Enchanting"

  • @laraanderson9855
    @laraanderson9855 6 лет назад +44

    I'm honestly surprised because as someone who absolutely loves the book to bits, I was unsure about this film from all the promotional material - it just looked kinda unpromising and clunky. But I might actually give this film a look now since people seem to be genuinely enjoying it 🤔❤️

      I too adored the book ... and I’ve just got back from watching the film. It’s good. It’s not the book, it never could be, but the film tells the story in an abbreviated, simplified and coherent way. It achieved all a film of Ready Player One ever could ... it captured the book’s soul and played it out in a fun, engaging and faithful way.

    • @drzaious8136
      @drzaious8136 6 лет назад +1

      Read the book and saw the movie, there are a few changes, but nothing to bad. My only gripe would be it comes off as much more fast pace. I thought the relationship was a bit rushed between Art3mis and Wade.

    Not surprised to read the negative reviews from book readers below so...
    I loved the movie. I listened to the book in 3 days last week so the story was still very fresh. There are changes from the book I don't like. They are mentioned below but overall I went with it.
    Adapting Ready Player One the book is impossible. Ernest Cline created such a level of detail that you would need a 4 or 5 hour film at least. But for the 140 mins we get, Spielberg is having so much fun. And so was I.

    SPOILERS SPOILERS
    Did anyone else think the aunt being blown up was so out of place. The bad guy kills her and the kids act like it's nothing. It's only brought up again once. To compere when the brother died in big hero six it's treated as a turning point. But here you could delete the aunts death and it make no difference.

    Its a stunning achievement on it own that they've managed to turn out a film that actually works. I remember hearing that they were making this a couple of years ago, and just wondered how the hell could anyone pull it off.

  • @redgoatgaming2297
    @redgoatgaming2297 6 лет назад +1

    The book has always been special to me and the screenwriters have done a good job transplanting what is a reference heavy and geek masterpiece to the silver screen. It's not perfect but Spielberg has done a great job. I'd have liked to have seen more of the dystopian world (2045) and the last acts are rushed along at such a pace that I'd have rather sat through a longer film. It succeeded in making me feel like I was watching flight of the navigator and BTTF all over again. The golden age of only two genders and 8 bit.

  • @BluRayMan12
    @BluRayMan12 6 лет назад

    Very mixed on the film itself but ons thing I’m definitely not mixed on is it’s use of 3D. Some of the visuals are absolutely spectacular but this is one of the very few films (along with Avatar and the original How To Train Your Dragon that where use of 3D actively enhances and complements the film. I’m that weirdo that actually likes 3D but believe you me I’ve seen a lot of mediocre to bad 3D presentations over the last 10 years. It’s rare to see it used well let alone THIS well (perticulerly at a time when the modern form of 3D is on its way out.) I’m seriously considering seeing the film again in the cinema just for the 3D

    Dear Mr kermode, I love movies and I love computer games. One thing a game like 'Dead Space 1, 2 & 3' gives me is PURE scifi interactive shock horror! Alien is one of my favorite scifi horror movies, but the game 'Dead Space' makes me jump harder and scream louder! Being a scifi fan you should at least consider a weekend bash of 'Dead Space' on the ps3. Or at least watch some review videos. If you do decide to play remember lights off, headphones on. All the best.

    I can not wait for the 4K release.

    But a clunky book adaptation. Too many characters, Finale, random red head who works for IOI, two Japanese ninjas that are wafer thin, Simon Peggs character the twist about him means nothing, Skull man is great wish they cut out other stuff so we could've had more of him.
    There's allot of characters telling us things rather then just showing them, the opening and end monologue are particularly egregious. The worst is when Artemis looks directly at the camera and explains her backstory, I can't even remember what she said other then homeless :(
    But an outstanding film overall 8/10

  • @Blartyboy
    @Blartyboy 4 года назад +1

    Honestly the most surprising thing I ever heard around this film was "the film was bad and the book was amazing." No.
    Ready player one film- great film, has problems, but good.
    Ready player one book- ITS #%@&!$% TERRIBLE!
    The book is written in three different ways-
    1. Bad story description.
    "They be calling themselves the sixors, nowdays, most guntors refer to them as the 'suxors' because they suck"
    2.boring wikipedia article
    "I studied monty python, and not just holy grail either- every one of their movies, albums and books, and every episode of the original bbc series, what about the simpsons, I knew more about springfeild than I did about my own city!"
    3. 17 year old rants about random stuff
    "That story you've heard, about how we were all created by some super powerful dude named god who just lived up in the sky, total bull&#!£, god is just a story that people have been telling each other for thousands of years, like santa claus or the easter bunny- also there is no santa claus or the easter bunny, also bull&#!£, sorry kid- deal with
    Wade is this awkward, misogynistic, troll, and the only thing you seem to get out of it is pride for that kind of person. Not once does wade mention the nature of the hunt, or who halliday was, or anything, he wins because he- honest to god- recites war games line by line. And after all this halliday shows up and he is like "kid, maybe dont play video games as much as I did, the real world is pretty important too or something" Ernest, dont pretend thats the theme of the book. Thats not the theme of the book.

  • @lebowski114

    Really enjoyed this film, however ( I’m not being negative in any way here) but folks read the book as it gives an even greater kaleidoscope of 80’s music ,films and early video games. The ending of the book is far more funnier than the film and I’m not sure as to why the didn’t use that ending. But I will probably go and see it again as you are bombarded with all sorts of ......everything.

    If you have a VR headset today and go online to social spaces, there are Darth Vaders, Marty Mcflys, Kemits, pop culture characters are being mashed up and used as avatars already. There is the hint of some prophetic about this film. Anything is an improvement on Crystal Skull....

    haven't watched the film yet. Having read the book, and enjoyed it [...insert backlash here] this film could have been one hell of a mess. Could easily have seen Mark hate this film even if i had liked it, interesting that Mark likes the film considering some of the reviews out there

    Just back from this movie. I actually went to see Isle of Dogs but got the time slightly wrong and would have had to wait a bit so went to see Ready Player One instead. Way too many pop culture references for me a few are ok but there must have been one ever two minutes. It all got a little grating. Mind you the two guys beside me were nearly jumping out of their seats with ever reference they got so each to there own i guess.
    For me I probably should have had a cup of coffee or something, waited and gone to see Isle of Dogs.

  • @cheekydandos9348
    @cheekydandos9348 6 лет назад

    6/10 for me. I think that there wasn’t enough emphasis on the fact that Wade plays video games all the time, and has mastered all of those that Halliday loved. To me, it was just disappointing. I read the book recently, and while I didn’t think it could be topped, they should’ve included more from the book.

    It is a brilliant film. This film will be one of Spielberg's best and...perhaps....may be a new Star Wars. I had the same hit I got from watching Star Wars as a kid in about 1983 when it was screened on the BBC. No exaggeration, the best film i've seen at the cinema.

    It’s a Spielberg blockbuster through and through. Massive fun, exciting action and references galore for moviegoers to enjoy. Of course, as a Spielberg blockbuster, it’s also so saccharin that it hurts your teeth, it’s dumbed down to the point of pure stupidity and it’s had all of the real darkness of the book removed - and replaced with silly one-liners from one of the villains.
    I enjoyed this movie to a point, as an entity in itself, but even as a child of the 80s, a gamer and a lover of stuff like The Shining and Iron Giant, I really didn’t feel that I was in it’s demographic.
    One thing that disappointed the most was that it absolutely fails to deliver the emotions of the relationships. H is all but ignored, Wade and Samantha meet pretty much straight away, and there is a whole act of Wade meeting Morrow just removed wholesale. It’s ok as a movie in of itself, but as an adaptation of the book, it fails on every level. Although, maybe it’s unfair to say it fails, as they clearly weren’t trying to adapt the book. It’s a complete re-write.

    It is a smirk inducing sandbox of pop culture references but lacks the real heart & depth usually synonymous with Spielberg movies. I struggled to get onboard with the aesthetic of the Oasis and avatars residing inside. Some fun moments but this is a rare occasion when I’d say you’re better off reading the book. 2/5

    6/10 it passes time, it is not awful but at the same ultimately rather disappointing. Critics love it because of the all the references contained in the film but the story line is cliched, the pacing a bit mundane, nothing special in acting or CG. It is not a bad film in the sense that Valerian was bad but in an odd way it is the worst combination of ET smaltz, The Lawnmower Man 2 techno story and for the references something from Tarantino (Kill Bill may be). IS it worth going to see? Probably not but if nothing else on it will pass a couple of hours pleasantly

  • @alexisnevrose2420

    Personally went to go see this in moving chairs and in 3D and for the most part it was enjoyable, but looking back at it , the movie itself had sooo many plot holes and well...was kind of bad, I think what made me enjoy is was the 3D/chairs and not the actual film itself I’d give a 6/10
