	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A much-loved fanboy novel gets the movie it deserves (...) 'Ready Player One' makes big changes to the specifics and structure of Ernest Cline's best-selling novel but keeps the spirit and level-up thrills intact."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A coruscating explosion of pop-culture eye candy. (...) It’s an accomplished and intermittently hypnotic movie."	POS
United States	Joanna Robinson Vanity Fair	"[It] is a wild ride — but may disappoint anyone looking for something deeper."	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Never, ever underestimate Steven Spielberg. (...) It’s also his most stylized movie since 'A.I.: Artificial Intelligence' though a lot more fun (...) An astonishing sci-fi spectacle and a relentless nostalgia trip at once."	POS
United States	Britt Hayes Screen Crush	"It’s disheartening that the finished product is little more than the cinematic equivalent of a pop culture mashup tee (...) [It] takes cherished icons of film and coats them in garish CGI."	NEG
United Kingdom	Monica Castillo The Guardian	"Flashy adaptation of the book is full of pop culture references and striking visuals but a thin plot and shallow characters (...) Rating: ★★ (over 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"Despite being an inventive foray into the world of virtual reality, the film lacks clout where it counts (...) [It] feels like a relatively minor work in the Spielberg canon (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"[It] has a spiky topicality and an occasionally piercing satirical bite (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	According to Robert Rodriguez ("Sin City"): "Ready Player One is classic Spielberg fun! What a blast, can't wait to see it again. Rewards repeat viewings. Tons of great references, visuals and heart. So kick ass it blew the speakers!"	POS
