What a mess of a movie.

The bad; the characters are not charismatic. The story is disjointed and without any real suspense or thrill or mystery.

This movie is a gimmick. See what they can do with computer animation. Well, it looks BORING to me. There are so many characters intermingling, some real humans, some computer animated that I loose count. And the special effects only DISTRACT and do not add magic to this movie.

Yes, that's what missing firstmost. Magic. And a soul. Most of Steven Spielberg classic movies had magic and soul. Some even had good jokes and action on top of that. Ready Player One though looks and feels like a project gone wrong. An idea turned into garbage.
