Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
My wife and I are huge fans of the Ready Player One book and we could not watch the movie. Literally stopped it. I tried a few more times to resume it but I kept having to stop. I finally finished it on my eight or ninth session.
if you think that movie was bad, you have no idea how painful it is for someone who loved the book.
I’ve heard the book it’s even worse 🤷🏽♂️
I saw that comment and find it suspect. If they didn’t like the book, it seems masochistic to watch the movie. If they didn’t like the movie, why read the book? It has always been popular to hate on the book because it is definitely a Gen-X nostalgia circle jerk, regardless of what else it brings to the table.
My point was that if you hated the movie, you likely would have hated it triple if you liked the book.
The book is objectively trash. I didn’t even finish it. The story is trash. The writing is trash. The characters are forgettable. Its just a bad, bad book.
