The script for Ready Player One feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Ready Player One.

Ready Player One: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Ready Player One has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Ready Player One?
Honestly, Ready Player One would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Ready Player One actually is?
Rewatched Ready Player One last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Ready Player One is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Ready Player One. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Ready Player One?
Just got out of Ready Player One and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
