First of all, why is there so many reviews here only complaining about the movie being very different from the book? I don't think there has ever been a movie adaptation of a book that doesn't change the source material. Even though this movie is, admittedly, one of the more different adaptations I have seen, did you guys really expect it to be exactly like the book? Anyways, Ready Player One is an experience I enjoyed immensely. It's not perfectly written, but the action, editing, and special effects make up for it's flaws. The large amount of references and in this movie work even better on the big screen than they do in a book, in my opinion. I honestly feel that most of the changes from the book were necessary to help the story translate better into a movie. Overall, this is an extremely fun movie that I definitely recommend, especially to kids at heart and fans of the book. (Well, ones that are fine with the movie being way different.) The book was better, but this wasn't bad either. I would totally watch this again.

I'm sorry, but I just really despise this show. I will, however try my best to give it a fair review. Let's look at what Henry Danger does right. I think that the idea could've worked great if there wasn't already a superhero show on Nick (The Thundermans). Furthermore, I think the drama aspects of the show are decent. Those types of moments make me care about the characters more, and it's a shame that those moments don't appear very often. At least the show tries to incorporate continuity by having things from those moments matter later, but I do think that there is a lot of room for improvement continuity-wise. Lastly, the acting for the most part is decent. That is about all of the praise I can give the show. Now let's move on to the areas the show falls flat on it's face. As I said, the drama aspect of the show is fine, but at least %95 of the show is just a regular tweenage sitcom, and this show is really bad at being a sitcom. I think the problems I have with the show can be boiled down to four main points, the first of which is the laugh track. It won't shut up! It plays after every sentence, even ones not meant to be jokes, and it drives me crazy! Now, a lot of sitcoms overuse the laugh track, so you might be thinking this point is invalid. Well how about I explain it this way: think of the worst, most inhumane thing you can think of. The laugh track would most likely go off during that. There are a handful of mildly disturbing scenes in this show that no one would ever laugh at. They are completely fine on their own, but they're a problem because the laugh track is going off like crazy during them! Okay, my second point is the humor itself. There are a few moments that make me laugh, but for the most part its just completely random. A completely random thing will happen out of nowhere, and you're just expected to laugh. Humor is subjective, so this may or may not be your thing. Thirdly, the show expects me to take it's absurd antagonists seriously. It's hard to be engaged when these obviously joke-villains are played off as serious threats to our heroes. Finally, the show's biggest fault: every character is unlikable. I don't know how they did it, but I can't think of a single character in this show that I don't hate. Henry is selfish, Rey is an unfeeling jerk to Henry, Charlotte is always making smart-alack remarks, Piper is the most spoiled, bratty character ever conceived, Henry's parents are awful at parenting, both Jasper and Schwaz are profoundly annoying, and the list goes on. The number 1 thing I usually want to see when I watch a show or movie is likable characters that I can get invested in, and the fact that this show fails so badly in this category is probably the reason I hate it so much. Overall, I'll give it a 2/10.

Favorite episode: The Spoiler It's absurd villain is actually played off as a minor threat! The concept for the villain is hilarious as well! Not only that, but I feel sympathy for Piper since she is being bullied by someone 100 times worse than her! It's a funny episode too! This episode is overall great, and definitely caught me by surprise. 8/10

Least favorite episode: The one Christmas special that I forgot the name of Jasper is annoying, I want to slap every minor character, it's not funny, It tries to push a "Christmas is about the people you love" message but utterly fails, and it ends in such a rushed, unfinished, and unsatisfying way that I, just, MY GOD I HATE THIS EPISODE! 1/10
