After having read the book 2 times and listening to the Audio book with Wil Wheaton reading once, I can honestly say this Ernest Cline's Ready Player One is probably in my top 10 favorites. I was so excited to see this movie. I'm pretty sure that I have never been as disappointed with a movie from a book as I was with this. Other than the general game story line and the general basis for the characters, 80 percent of this movie was almost like a different story. If you are going for the wonderful 80s nostalgia of the book, skip this and reread...or listen to the audio version (Wil Wheaton does a great job). This made me really sad to see. With Steven Spielberg's clout in Hollywood, I don't know what happened to all the movie and game references. They are just gone. I gave this 2 stars, because if I hadn't been such a fan of the book, I probably would have found it entertaining.
