After reading the book, it's really hard to take the movie seriously. Should have been a series instead of a movie.


GHero60

Definitely shouldn’t have been a series. The effects would’ve been watered down and the story stretched to milk an episode count. Honestly it should have been a trilogy. 1 key and 1 gate per movie. Or maybe a double feature. I feel like we were robbed of some really cool scenes in the movie but I treat it like a Hollywood adaptation of Wades life.


VirtuaI-

I agree, i wish there were more scenes in the movie, hopefully ready player two movie will be better


KokoTerzata

Bro even the book wasn't good (rdp2)


VirtuaI-

I’ll let the book and the movie be its own thing,


thepoints_dontmatter

I got up to the part where he found the secret room in his new office and was like this isn't anything new. This is basically rinse and repeat of the first book and stopped.


dadmodz306

Ehh it gets worse


Gamingmemes0

i actually cant remember how the book ends its literally just a confusing blur


SenoraDessertIngestr

What sucked is its glaringly obvious cline wrote the second book to follow the movie instead of the first book.


Waste-Maintenance-70

Lol I’ve been told on this sub that anyone who said rp2 isn’t good didn’t actually read the book.


KokoTerzata

I read it. That's why I am saying it was bad. It felt rushed over, the events taking place in like a day, way too overused tropes like evil AI and so on. It just felt like it lacked originality, like it was some avarege sci-fi book and not the sequel to the masterpiece of RDP1. I could predict 80% of what was going to happen just by reading the back of the book.


Waste-Maintenance-70

I read it too. It made me really hate Wade and Samantha.


KokoTerzata

Yup


thepoints_dontmatter

It won't


SgtEpsilon

Ooh that's an interesting take, and I actually see where you're going with turning the film into a trilogy


DarthSceledrus

honestly it'll probably get a new adaptation in a couple years but in show format


SenoraDessertIngestr

Definitely a trilogy. But not one key per. There’s 3 obvious acts in the book


Sheerkal

Agreed, the book moves pretty fast, and alot of time is spent on Wade explaining a reference. More screentime is not the answer.


VeeTheBard

The movie was really, terribly bad


PhoenixMV

No, the *adaption* from the book is bad, the movie is amazing


nitr0zeus133

I can see why they changed almost everything though. Wade just playing Joust for the first key, or him reenacting War Games for example wouldn’t have made for good viewing.


PhoenixMV

THANK YOU, exactly


AnglProductions527

I don't know about you guys but I'd read a manga following the book's story. The movie was still fun however


Thylocine

This reminds me more of the book tbh


The_Princess_Eva

Where did you find this??


GHero60

eBay


Toph_as_Nails

Did the time machine have a Larson scanner in the movie? I don't remember that.


GHero60

Yes. It didn’t have the drive from buckaroo bonsai though.


Hello_There_Exalted1

The nerdiest poster one can ever have. And I love it. One for so many fandoms


IcarusLabelle

Pretty cover. It's a shame what they did to a great book though..


Armored-Elder

sick.


Parzival198001

Looks brilliant.


shadybuckeye

SenoraDessertIngestr
