I get that the film versions are never as good as the book, so I didn't go in expecting it to be. However, almost EVERYTHING was changed for the film except the general premise and character names. Everything good about the book was missing here. There is no character development whatsoever, everything is completely predictable, and there is no depth to the plot at all. Spielberg is washed up! What a joke this film is. Ernest Cline has to be furious.
