Oh man, I was looking forward to this review from you @coldsteem! I read the book several years ago (which kicks off a trilogy), it is was really well done. That being said, I expected the movie to be a "7/10" as you rated it. In most cases, it's just too hard to convey the greatness of a novel on the big screen format. That's why I am holding my breath for Ready Player One.
Great review as always!
Ready Player One looks like it may be pretty dang good. I was a bit worried by the first trailer, but the latest trailer looks much better. I think (as mentioned) the sequel (or sequels) to Red Sparrow will be better. Sometimes the back story can bog a movie down.
