its like Hollywood gave the book to a drunk screenwriter and told him to read half and replace the pivotal timeless key challenges with currently popular games and remove any journey of friendship and add a nonsense Insta romance.

If I had not read the book it would have been better. There were so many changes that I didn't love it. But it could stand on its own had I not had a different storyline in mind.

Trying not to wave the book- was- better- than- the- movie flag... it was entertaining, and I would've really like some of the really deep cuts the book had but understand this was made to be accessible to a wide audience. That being said, the loss ous the characters…

Great movie has a retro feel. I felt like I was in 1980's slash 2000's

Was a big fan of the book and while the movie strays from the original source material, it still did a good job at capturing the same feel. Definitely a fun popcorn flick

Absolutely NOTHING like the book. Spielberg gutted this movie and filled it with cliche love stories that were empty, drawn out, and oh did I mention NOTHING LIKE THE BOOK. The end result? Neat CGI while I nearly fell asleep.

The movie was fun. It was more of an adaptation of the book and needed to have changes made for cinematic value.

This movie is a mixed bag. It's hard to tell who the target audience was for this film. It was enjoyable.. ran a little long, it's not something I'd watch again

3.5-4* Well done. Amazing graphics. Lots of action and valuble life lessons. Greed leads to corruption and darkness. Appreciate true friends and take a leap of faith. Perfect for young gamers, IF u don't mind video game gun violence. My only complaint's the length. I lost…

It was different from the book in an understandable way while still holding to its roots.

I saw the film in IMAX, and a week later I’m still waiting for the safe return of my optic nerves, but it was the meagre emotional charge that shocked me most. Toward the end, as in many Spielberg movies, there are tears, but, for once, they feel unearned.

Once the initial thrill wears off, it’s a hollow kind of fun, which is almost certainly the point.

Spielberg has seemingly done the impossible: balancing sugar-rush nostalgia with an involving story to create a pure, uncynical, cinematic ride that recaptures the magic of his early films.
