It looks like a cluttered mess. I'm familiar with the premise and it sounds good, but also sort of massive fan service jerk off. We shall see.

As someone who also hasn't read the book, whatever they've shown that some of you guys are referencing (keys? a particular character?) doesn't mean anything or reveal anything to me.

Check out his oeuvre:

True, one of the few that isn't retro.

Well, that answers your "key" question, Stan.
It also shows like the very, very end of the story, the final reveal, but maybe you would not realize that while watching the trailer.

I like the last couple trailers explaining what the movie actually is about though.I need to get around to reading the book, I bought it a year ago on Kindle and never actually read it.

My wife read this book on audio at least half a dozen times last year, she loves it. Not excited about the movie. She is sure they'll screw it up. I told her, well, get a sitter or she can stay home opening night with the kids while I go see it with Movie Pass. Her call! We'll see what she decides...
So far, I'm impressed with What we've seen. I think it'll be fun.

No offense to her, but it's not like the book is some holy grail of literature. Plus, you could not have gotten a better director for the source material. Spielberg fits both the role of a good director and nostalgia for nostalgia's sake (which fits the book all to well).

^ Add to that that the effects look totally top-notch, which will be crucial to make the film work. I'm excited for it.

I read up on all the classic 80's fight matchups to prepare...
Daniel-San vs Johnny
Rick vs Greg
Jason vs Chas
Ok, fine, i just really like Billy Zabka.

I have high hopes for this as a book reader, but I hope this doesn't wind up like Water for Elephants where I read the book, visited the Ringling Bros/ Barnum and Bailey museum in Sarasota, and then refused to see the movie because I read reviews that made it abundantly clear it ruined everything special.
My impression right now is that watching an episode of Stranger Things does a better job of conveying the feeling of the book than this movie.

Nice callback! I'll see if it works. I know my wife gets turned on when I defend her from anonymous internet nerds after I told those same nerds about one of her ridiculous opinions. It's her equivalent to long walks on the beach!
EDIT UPDATE: No, that did not work. That did not work at all.

I honestly can't tell if this is real or a joke... I really really hope it's a joke.

People create a lot of Ready Player One parodies online.
