I've heard it is terrific. Since the weather continues to suck here, I'll probably check this out next weekend.

Wasn't too interested in that Solo movie until now. There's no way I wasn't going to go see it, but I've had zero investment in the concept.

But the trailer looks like exactly the kind of movies I thought we'd get after the first Star Wars trilogy came out, so I'm now on board. What if it turns out that Lord and Miller created an entertaining but over the top comedy, and then Ron Howard came in and cut off just enough of the rough edges that it plays as a solid adventure with a healthy sense of humor? I'm optimistic, I suppose.

I've gotta say I feel the exact same way. The trailer got me way more interested than I was before.

New trailer. I'm starting to think this isn't going to suck.

My new way of judging movies is:

Would pay full price for it or
Might as well see it since i have moviepass

I'd pay full price for it.

My only issue(s):

The monsters seemed kinda....i dunno....hokey. It almost spoils the tone of the movie. I hated the fact Jim died, but in doing so, it kinda sets up a sequel, which i am hopeful for because i'd like to know what happened and why the monsters are there. It may also help bring some realism to the monsters..aliens...creatures...whatever they are.

Also, who knew Jim Halpert could direct?

Ready Player One was an enjoyable movie. I have to say I went in with very low expectations; but they were exceeded. It was fun. And apparently in about thirty years everyone loves the 1980s; looking forward to that.

I also saw Ready Player One and I agree that it was entertaining. I'm not sure what they were going for with the ending but it was good nonetheless.

In the end a few poor kids got rich and they may have made the Oasis a better place. But presumeably the rest of the world's problems are still there. Not a big deal though since this wasn't really meant to be a movie about "saving the world" I guess. I also would have liked to see some characters or something that were more original than relying totally on nostalgia. We will create some original pop culture between now and 2045, right? Right?

After the cameo of The Iron Giant in Ready Player One, we watched that one with the kids. None of us had ever seen it. The kids actually sat still through the whole thing. It was a really good kids' movie.

We also finally sat down and watched "Hugo" from Scorsese in 2011...It was a bit too long to keep the kids interested, and some of the side stories were a bit boring for kids (if they had cut some of that out and made it closer to 1.5 hours long, I think it would have kept my kids' attention just fine). I liked how it seemed to be told from the perspective of a child, not so much with words, but with how it was shot and the cinematography/special effects. It was really really good, 9/10.

Based on all the rebooted movies, etc that we are seeing now; the answer to your spoilered question is No.

I am one of the billion people who saw Avengers last weekend. It's like Empire Strikes Back level awesome.

i'll see it once the crowds die down...i'm a comic book movie guy, so i'll def see it in the theaters

that being said, the last marvel move, thor ragnarok, was one of the most awful things i've seen. just garbage (made the DC movies look great), so hoping it's nothing like that one. thanos looks ridiculous in the trailers (much much worse than steppenwolf in justice league), and am hoping i don't notice the ridiculousness in the full length of the movie
