I read the trilogy but haven't seen the movie yet. Anyone who has seen the movie and read the books have thoughts on how it fares as an adaption?
Negative, sir. I understood the shit outta that movie. It was still dumb.Too weird means you couldnt understand it so you hate it
@Strange King ,
I did see Game Night as well. Pretty hilarious and I liked that all the characters had their time to shine. McAdams really needs to do more comedies. She was great. Bateman consistently solid. Chandler had some spot on funny delivery (I ate at Panera...) and the supporting cast was damn good.
Meth Damon stole the show in my opinion though. Friggin hilarious.
And yeah, that fucking scene with the bear is going to haunt my dreams.
totally different in story telling (how could you tell it like the book without giant fucking voice overs?) end is different. Same philosophical themes. Best to not focus on it as a spitting image of a book, but a film playing with similar ideas. Great movie thoughI read the trilogy but haven't seen the movie yet.

great film... but god damn do you have to enjoy these kinds of movies.
Different from the book in some substantial ways, but I enjoy what he did with the material.
Ready player one look really dumb to me though, not gonna lieIt makes me sad that this movie is a bomb.
Between this, BR:2049 failing, and the "sluggish box office" predictions for Spielberg's upcoming Ready Player One, it seems like this is not a good time for smart sci-fi to be very successful. People just wanna watch dumb shit apparently.

Garbage Marvel movies + simpleton Americans who eat that shit up have really hurt creative bigger budget projects. Such a shame.
Hollywood just gives people what they want. As long as millions of people will flock to theaters to see garbage ass remakes and garbage ass Marvel movies, they'll keep making them. It's not Hollywood's fault, it's the audience.Before the Marvel movies it was just non-stop reboots. The problem is there is no creativity left in holly wood. It's just a bunch of dick\pussy grabbing ass holes who think they are better than everyone else.
I'll take the Marvel movies over a pippy longstocking reboot.
