I just watched the beginning of Ready Player One; Nope, they blew it from the get-go.

Movies that were better than the book:

Forrest Gump

Jurassic Park

Fight Club

as far as I'm concerned the book and the movie had nothing in common but the title and character names.

The director specifically stated he was going to shit on the source material because he was upset that Earth was essentially a utopia in the book but had a "right-wing" militaristic government. So he added the propaganda, two-tier society, SS references, etc, and tried to go for a "The Stepford Wives" type of vibe.

They should have had powered armor and talked moral philosophy. Instead we got Denise Richards's fabulous funbags before Charlie Sheen defiled her.
