It was a REALLY good "movie ride", but there's not enough there for it to become a "classic" in an of itself. Everything great about it was based on how you feel about something that you have seen before. And that's fine if your goal is to have a great time at the movies, but there's nothing from THIS movie that will make anyone from 10 years from now and say "remember this great quote/scene?".

My favorite scene was when
Chucky
when on his rampage. But looking back at it two days later, the movie "Cabin in the Woods" did a much much better version of that particular concept (right down to the "evil corporate drone" character giving a surprised reaction to the absurdity of the monster killing him) , and they did it without using any licensed characters, just using their own knock-offs.

It's silly to call it a "classic" in GENERAL because the movie just came out. Time will tell if it is a CLASSIC. Jurassic Park was equally a thrill ride for the sake of thrill rides and it's sparked a franchise. You're too judgemental over a film that purely about enjoying yourself. You cannot claim it a classic off the rip. Let the movie cook and allow time to tell if it would. I wouldn't of thought a film like "Catch Me If You Can" end up being a classic... but it turned out to be some of people's all-time favorites by Spielberg.

Reading the book (which is short as fukk), you could tell it was being written specifically to one day be a film..,so I’m surprised they changed as much as they did.

I didn’t hate the movie, but do think it could have been better if it stuck to the novel (which I do agree is not incredibly written, but did have an entertaining story that easily lends itself to the big screen.)

Spielberg is KNOWN to changing a bulk of the adaptation films. Both Jurassic Park and The Lost World for example is vastly different from the books.

SMH... Half of you aren't movie geeks, arcadium gaming fanatics, pop cultured obsessed nerds, or all of the above. This movie was PURELY DEDICATED for them. Who the fukk cares about character development or depth of story?? We KNOW Spielberg is capable to do that, he long proven that. He want to make a PURELY NOSTALGIC movie for nikkaz that fukks with that shyt purely. That's why there's over 200 references, Easter eggs, and cameos freckled throughout the ENTIRE film. shyt you do not realized, or overlooked, or blended together such as the Delorean with the KITT from Knight Rider built in. This movie is LITERALLY STAGED as a multi-player online PS4 game with its different level of stages to complete. This is for muthafukkaz that get into Metal Gear Solid and watch the storyline in between. This is NOT for those who isn't really about that LIFE... so who the fukk cares if you crying about it having too much of this or lack the other.... it just expose you not being about that life. This is for even for the OLD HEADS who great up in the 80's and fall back into everything. The movie is not SERIOUS nor to be taken seriously. It is about PURE escapism about a film that is about that is designed for people to escape their reality. It is a MIRROR of our climate TODAY and the harsh realities that is happening to us daily... why just go into the movie and ESCAPE. Don't go in there trying to be overly critical or anal about shyt that has no point to be anal about. Put yourself in those characters, they represent YOU just like when you play a game and pick your character or player. You don't care about their background, you put yourself into that game. This movie was DOPE AF..... and I got it and its intention.

It seems like if you read the book you hated the movie.
If they had a DBZ reference at the final battle scene my head would have exploded.

Lol. Once the movie started off with the race I through all book knowledge out the window and just enjoyed it for what it was.

But I was really looking forward to them doing the Blade Runner scene from the book since I know that scene line for line :(

Didn’t read the book so I enjoyed the movie for what it was.

I’ve seen excerpts from the book and it looked like trash and from what I’ve read online it seemed Spielberg changed things for the better.

Yeah i read some excerpts and theyre the worst thing Ive ever read from a novel.:pachaha:


Cline seems like someone with great ideas but shouldnt be writing the main story/screenplay.

They couldnt get the rights.

"I actually at one point wrote a sequence set in Blade Runner and I think the problem was they knew the new Blade Runner was gonna come out right around then. In fact, I think I had somebody driving Deckard's car and I think they didn't give us the right to do it. I take it back, I wouldn't have minded a couple Blade Runner references. The Blade Runner gun would have been pretty cool." - zak penn


"We tried very hard to do the Deckard scene in the book," Spielberg says, referring to the "Blade Runner" character of Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford. "But even though Warner Bros. released 'Blade Runner' and Warner Bros. financed 'Ready Player One,' they had no rights to the IP.

"The producers [at Alcon Entertainment] had to approve it and they wouldn't because they had their movie ['Blade Runner 2049'] coming out and they didn't know if we would enhance their commercial prospects or not, even though we were following the release of the latest 'Blade Runner' film



The Shining was more fun anyway

It is because it's so big and visual. I cant imagine the first race watching at home for a first viewing
