Nostalgia. Steven Spielberg. Need I say more?



I never read the book, but if you've watched any of these trailers, they contain a lot of nostalgia... except for Star Wars. Yes, Spielberg tried. Disney said no. Man, Disney has a poor track record with their decisions as of late. WTH, Disney!?
Oh well, gonna see it anyway.

I read the book. I'm not excited about this movie because I read the book (nostalgia at its most banal.) That said, a good movie could grow from the basic idea and world of the book- but they'd have to put in lot of work and actual creativity to do it. Hopefully that's what Speilberg has done. I'll wait and see what the buzz is once it's actually out.

I don't get why Hollywood thinks that it's great to cram a lot of pop culture references in a movie. This is not what I mean for something new.

I saw it last night and thought it was pretty cute. I haven’t read the book, so I can’t give any comparisons, but it was probably one of Spielberg’s most enjoyable films in recent years.

Same here! I was excited for this film since seeing the trailer that was attached to The Last Jedi. The film was not a disappointment like some would suggest (few fanboys claiming it stole elements from the Lego Movie, blah blah). I, however, enjoyed the film for what it was worth and the storytelling alone was all it took.
