Still cried like a baby
I had read the book before I watched the film with my daughter, so I knew what was coming up, the film is quite similar to the book, but seeing it played out instead of using your imagination gives it a whole new dimension The acting was done with great sensitivity and respect to the nature of the film.

Not even the jump scares
Some iffy CGI
I wanted to see this film after I read the book in October. And for a film adaptation, it wasn’t half bad. Sure there were things obviously different from the books and they have set it out differently to the book. But all things considered, I enjoyed watching it. I just felt that for a horror film, it wasn’t that scary- not even the jump scares and Pennywise- he is legit scary in the book. Also, I thought the film would have been better if they kept some elements from the book in the film too, like Maturin. On another plus side, the acting was done well.

It does drag, the book is quite slow too and to split it into two films drags it out even more, but the author would not let anyone edit the book down and wanted everything in the film. At least the film did mirror the book unlike other films where they edit it down so much it is so different from the book.

The characters in this film are not very bright
More of an 80's circle jerk
Almost completely different to the book
Horrible Film
I loved the book of Ready, Player One. The book is amazing. However, the movie is one big pile of poop. The acting is abysmal. The characters seem to be really dumb in the film. It takes them forever to figure out something simple even though they've had years to figure it out. The casting is horrible too. The characters look nothing like how they are described in the book. The film changed the plot almost completely compared to the book.
My husband and I turned this off after watching the first 30 minutes. We both hated it. It was a waste of half an hour and a waste of money.

Not as good as the book
The book is quite a slow burner, but it works because of the level of depth and detail given to Elio as the main character. The film sadly doesn’t have the same impact and it actually comes across quite dull. Whilst some of the performances and scenes are in keeping with the book, the whole film just seems very slow and verging on boring. And the edgy scenes from the book (the peach one for instance) are a lot more shocking to see on film. It isn’t a terrible film, it’s just completely immemorable and I don’t think deserving of all of the accolades.

Stayed fairly true to book
Amanlda is fast becoming queen of Ya adaptations
I throughly enjoyed this film. For the most part the cast is relatively unknown but it been proven in Dystopic ya books to film adaptions this works well.
With the hate u give coming out the end of the year Amandla Stenberg is proving to be a force to be recoken with within the YA film genre. She is able to captive and keep the film moving.
It rare to find a film that keep true to a books premise and plot however this film did just that.
