Since we are in a "safe space" - haha:
I really hated this movie - I was actually upset the morning after I saw it

Am actually still pretty bugged by it and am going to remedy this frustration by rereading the book.
I REALLY loved the book and thought they should have stayed true to it.
But, as others have said, that is next to impossible in two hours and twenty minutes.
I think the book would have made an amazing 12 episode Netflix series - would have been incredible!
There is a lot of talk in the book about Parzival not selling out to IOI - I really feel like Ernest Cline absolutely sold out to Spielberg - much easier to write about sticking to your vision/dream than turning down those huge $$$ in the real world. Not saying that I could say no to all that cash either but man...
Where was the TOMB OF HORRORS? C'MON!!!!
