The film version of Ready Player One has some major advantages over the book. But the story moves briskly enough, and with enough giant-sized, screen-friendly excitement, that it doesn’t feel like it’s aimed solely and specifically at them. The hardcore pop-culture crowd that is this movie’s ultimate intended audience will have plenty to pore over and pick apart in this film. But the film improves significantly on the book by prioritizing the story over the signifiers. It’s still a visual festival of ‘80s culture that sometimes hinges significant jokes on the assumption that the audience knows the filmography of Robert Zemeckis, or will chortle over a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The story, which mostly takes place in the virtual-reality world called The OASIS, rarely slows down enough to explain the references, or geek out over them the way the book does. Critics of the novel call the sequel too much of a rehash of Ready Player One, though overall it has more fans than flakes.That dynamic stretches throughout Ready Player One, scripted by Cline and X-Men: The Last Stand writer Zak Penn, and directed by Spielberg as a whiplash-fast tear through a world-spanning, all-encompassing video game. The book garnered an average of 3.5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads in comparison to the original’s over 4-star acclaim. The great thing about my first novel was that nobody knew who I was and people could discover it.Īnd Ready Player Two didn’t quite live up to the expectations of the original, albeit there were impossible expectations that were built up in the past decade of the book’s existence. The higher your expectations, the more you're setting yourself up for disappointment. I know from my own experience - like with the Star Wars prequels - that expectations are often resentments waiting to happen. It did give me a huge amount of anxiousness going into writing it. When one writes something so beloved, it can be rough to follow it up.

At the same time, I wasn't going to let anyone rush me. Nothing will light a fire under you like getting one of those phone calls, and I knew fans were waiting too.
