As a long-time Spielberg fan, I have to say it's honestly refreshing when instead of trying to make a straight masterpiece, he just makes something that's just pure entertainment. Something that's fun enough for the audience to ignore the plot holes. Not everything a director makes has to be flawless, it's nice to switch it up every now and then.

C'mon! Adapting a book always requires some sacrifices. You can read a book at your own pace, therefore authors can take their time with character development, sub stories and details. Theatrical releases have to fit within a "supportable" time span. It doesn't mean it's not a great movie on it's own merit, just ask Tom Bombadil.

If I remember correctly, Spielberg was always a big admirer of Stanley Kubrick. The entire Shining sequence is one big homage.

For those who don't know, the "spell" to activate "The orb of osovux" (or however it might be written), is an enchantment from the movie Excalibur, (Kings Arthur's story). By the end of the movie, the witch Morgana (who used magic to stay young), used that chant to cast a spell against King Arthur, but Merlin tricked her into to using her power beyond a proper limit, which caused her to age very rapidly, (she went from being like 30 to end up looking like 90 in minutes) In the end, she was killed by her own son who didn't recognize her.

H’s Truck is the old Monster Truck Big Foot. In the Background of H’s work shop has the RV from Space Balls as well as a Tie Fighter. Not sure if you noticed but I’m sure you did, the main bad guys character/avatar was Superman. Oh the 4 armed creature Artimis used was Goro from Mortal Combat.

You absolutely HAVE to add Excalibur to your list of movies to watch. Not only is it an amazing film, it'll include the charm of making, which sounded like Lord of the Rings language to you (actually Gaelic).

While the movie did not disappoint, the book, which I read first, was truly an homage to my childhood. There was not a page that wasn't filled to the brim with references to all I watched, read, listened to, and played throughout all my early life. Everyone can enjoy it and get some of the references, but to people of a certain age it is a personal love-letter to our youth. I never thought they'd be able to make it into a movie because all the rights to every single character, music, etc .. would have to be licensed. I honestly believe that ONLY Spielberg could have been able to pull it off, as he is likely the only guy with enough clout and reputation to negotiate the licensing deals required to use all these fabulous icons. The story in the book and movie are actually not all that similar except in broad strokes, but because each references the same pool of memories both work extremely well. If you liked the movie, I'd definitely recommend the book, coz it is more of and better than this extravaganza, which is saying a lot.

We freakin’ love sharing these with you guys. You guys truly rock! Thank you for all the love and support ❤️

One of the easiest easter eggs to miss isn't a "if you blink and you will miss it" shot so much as a "if you don't frame-by-frame it, you will miss it". During the climactic battle at the end, there is a sequence that goes TMNT brothers fighting - kids fighting in the street - soldiers running past across the screen. If you pause at the end of the kids scene and then frame by frame, you will catch a blurry silhouette of what looks like a girl in a skirt holding a scythe. AKA Ruby Rose from RWBY. I was personally a little skeptical if it was her, but when I called my daughter, a bigger fan of the show, into the room, she immediately called out the shadow.

One of the reasons why having the game designers name was an easter egg was that back in the day game designers no how much time, effort and work they put into the game didn't even get credited in the game. They didn't even get a part of the profits of the game. The game company owned all rights, no matter how much money it made the designer got nothing. So putting his own name in the game as an easter egg was also an act of defiance, a way to sneak his own credit into the game so people know he had a hand in creating it.

"What the hell is that?" Ari says when Art3mis chucks the thing into Mechagodzilla's eye. THAT, my friend, is a MADBALL :D As a kid who grew up in the 80's, this film is 100000% my entire childhood. I really wish I could have been there with you just pointing out all the cool ass obscure references like the Charm of Making from Excalibur as the activation for the Orb of Osuvox, or that Sorrento's employee ID# is IOI-655321, the same number they gave to Alex in A Clockwork Orange for his prisoner #. I could go on for days, man. This made me so happy, thank you for doing this :D

Man, watching stuff with the two of you is so much fun. You became one of my absolute favorite channels really quickly.

Seeing Iron Giant vs Mechagodzilla was a trip to see. Can’t wait to see Denise react to Iron Giant

The score is by Alan Silvestri (same as Back to the Future) so he did borrow from himself

Loved it❤️❤️thank you for a great reaction to a great film, your excitement throughout made it even better👍🏽

As soon as I got the notification I knew you guys were gonna smile and scream all the way through…. And you did. The most fun I’ve had watching a movie in a long time and I was lucky enough to catch it at the movies too

This movie was a pretty good adaptation, but I also strongly recommend listening to the audiobook read by Wil Wheaton. It’s a hell of a great book with thousands of details that never made it to the movie. Most people can get a copy to listen to for free from their local library. I have it permanently on my player that I listen to when I’m doing mindless chores like yardwork.

Ohhh that's great advice, we definitely wanna check out the book this is based on! Wonder how many more details are in there!

the best movie of the future guys watch more movies!!! Really you guys should watch Ultraman Geed or even Mortal Kombat 2021.

You guys have become two of my favorite movie/TV show reactors. You guys are so cool 😭 I really enjoy your reactions and seeing you enjoy what you’re watching 🤍

I searched all your videos for this movie a month ago. I was shocked you hadn’t covered it especially with the plethora of pop culture references. I’m so happy to see you enjoy my favorite movie of all time.

I loved this film, there are few references hahaha my favorite was from The Shining

Such a great uplifting Spielberg movie!

Loved watching your joy at each reference all the way down to the soundtrack. Totally worth rewatching to pause on crowd scenes to see all the cameos

I have watched this in the cinema back in 2018 with a good friend of mine as we are both movie 🎥 and Spielberg fans. The slight extended difference is I am also a DVD/Bluray discs movie fan but he’s not. So I also have the digital disc in Bluray format for this movie while he doesn’t. If you are in your 50s and have watched as much movies and TV as I have in the cinema, on VHS, Laserdisc, VCD, DVD, Bluray, and enjoyed everything that the 70s, 80s and 90s have to offer, then you should be able to identify circa 95% of the movies, TV and games references in Ready Player One. Due to this movie, I was inspired to read the novel by Ernest Cline of which this movie is based on and have finished it. What works for the book 📕 does not necessarily work for film 🎥 and vice versa but director Steven Spielberg is wise to remedy this. For example: one particular scene is The Shining horror scene which is not in the novel but included as both Spielberg and Cline are fans of the late Stanley Kubrick

Just imagine the lawyers though. "We'd like you to get us the rights to use some IP" "Which IP?" "Yes."

Movie recommendation for you to react to: FIRE IN THE SKY (1993), the most sinister film about Alien Abduction that is even based on a "real" event, this underrated gem is worth checking out.

They should check out the audio book as it's narrated by Wil Wheaton!😊

Absolutely love watching the both of you and your reactions. Thank you for sharing your light with all of us. Much love.

Great reaction! Based upon a wonderful book, there was a bidding war for the movie rights. Spielberg did a great job bringing it to the screen. It couldn't have been easy. The book is filled with 70's and 80's pop culture and gaming references, hundreds of them buried in the story. So Spielberg had to pick and choose and make some changes just to fit such a dense collection of references and Easter eggs into a movie while still telling the basic story.

You're dead on with "basic story"...

You guys probably should check out The Great Wall. It's an absolutely silly movie with Matt Damon fighting aliens in Ancient China but the action and the creatures and the visuals are fun.

My only question about this: you're seriously telling me no one ever thought of driving backwards in the first race until now?

Search how to get all secret endings in Fnaf 3, and i will tell you players discovered all of them in 24 hours. If easter egg hunters were accurate in this movie, the keys woud’ve been found in 4 days.

My only Idea why nobody did is because The Oasis incentivizes not doing stupid shit by making you lose everything. But also alt accounts exist. So that makes no sense, then there's also the fact there would be cheaters and people who data mine games.

I love how you guys had a lot of the references in your room!

This movie is awesome. This has to be one of your best reactions to date. You made the movie even more fun than just watching the movie. Great great react video. Thank you so much for making me laugh tonight. I really needed that 😂😂

The reference I went crazy for was when Daito turns into the RX-78-2 Gundam to fight MechaGodzilla. Straight up epic is an understatement. Great reaction 🤙

This movie is my all time favorite, I'm so happy you guys finally got to see it! I knew you both would love it!

I was soooooooo waiting for you guys to react to this. This is a masterpiece. You guys are amazing and I am glad to be a subscriber

"I've never seen Iron Giant". Oh sweet summer child, what an ache awaits you.

All the game movie character references and the old computer parts shown at the end - brilliant!

Love re-watching these movies with you two, thanks for sharing!

I love y'alls enthusiasm for this one! What a joy to watch folks experience it for the first time. I loved your reaction to The Shining part - SO good! :D

Hi I just wanted to say I really enjoy watching you're reactions, I look forward to it after coming back from a long day at work . You 2 are the best reactors that are genuine reactors. Thanks for the videos. Greetings from Australia.

I'm always having a good time with you guys!!!) ❤❤❤ Thanks for reaction!)))

Absolutely amazed at your guys' reactions to all the media references in this astounding movie. And who better than the Spielberg himself to make such a masterpiece that not only provides amazing entertainment, but also portrays a clear message to our real world. Video games are meant for us to escape reality, but always remember what is truly real.

Also, not many people picked up on it, but the Holy Hand Grenade is a reference to a classic comedy movie, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" which is a MAJOR recommendation for you guys to watch.

I still remember getting the book for free in a loot crate subscription. I read it and fell in love with it. Kinda "forced" my son to read it and he was glad I did. We got so excited when the movie was announced. First time I understood when people say "the book is better than the movie". And i would agree the book is better, but still glad with what Spieldberg managed to do.

The more I watch this film the more I discover and the more I love it, exactly the entire theme of the film itself. Spielberg is known as a master of his craft for good reason.

This is probably my favorite modern movie so far. I am gen x, and the nostalgia in this movie is almost overwhelming. It makes this old man feel like a kid again.

I $#!T you not, this is one of the few movies I can watch over and over again and ALWAYS see something new!! I swear my Uncle and I have watched this at least 20 times, pausing whenever we see something that we had previously missed. A fun one, that OFF button at the end, it was pulled straight from Spaceballs! The self destruct switch from MegaMaid...lmao!! Soooo many little easter eggs throughout this whole movie...Spielberg did this movie RIGHT!!!

Halladay's childhood room at the end always chokes me up, because it's so familiar to me, just like my room and all of my friends'. There's an uncanny familiarity that goes beyond nostalgia and into something more like a virtual recreation. All I need is Saturday morning cartoons, bikes at the mall with the donut shop and arcade and movie theater, and I'm right back with my high school friends in high summer.

This was the Most Perfect Movie for Y'all to React to💝NO one else has ever been so 'Ready' for it!👍Thank You and a Shout-Out to Ari for recognizing the 'Knight Rider' LED on the DeLorean👏I've been WAITING for someone to finally get that reference...☺👌

Criminally underrated movie

The 🎁 reaction that I've been waiting for!🤯...thank you!!!😆😂🤣👍🏾👏🏾

When you said you appreciated Easter Eggs...I was like, then buckle up guys because you are in for the greatest Easter Egg movie ever made.

One of the best things about the references is that not everyone will catch all of them. Some are hidden in just the background visuals, where you won't really notice them on a first watch cursory glance. One example, the Doritos packages are actually the older variants. However, you're too busy noticing the DeLorean's, Tracer, the TMNT etc... So much fun to watch and so many references you see the more times you re-watch.
