I will make this short, since this movie requires little dissection. It is an overly CGI'ed kid movie (not even the good kind of CGI), with VERY bad acting, accents, color schemes, dialogue, you name it. Pretty much the only good thing I can say about this movie was I knew enough to turn my brain off once I realized what type of movie it was.

HOWEVER.

When the credits rolled around and I saw "Directed by Steven Spielberg" I think my jaw quite literally dropped into my lap. I know Spielberg has been on a recent downward spiral, but this is an all-time low. When I think Spielberg, I think of absolute masterpiece epics like E.T.,Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park with BETTER LOOKING AND SOUNDING special effects despite the 25 year age gap.

Spielberg used to be the hands down, pound for pound best director in Hollywood. After watching Ready Player One I'm speechless. Nothing can ever undo his mammoth impact on movies, but this one comes the closest to taking the cake.
