Everything Wrong With Ready Player One 

We need a "ridiculously hot girl thinks she's ugly because of a minor flaw but the boy loves her anyway because she's ridiculously hot - cliché"

Actually the "if you look under your seats, there's nothing there" was kind of funny.

I still can’t get over how no one went backward in the race. IN 5 YEARS, That shit would of been cracked in the first 15 minutes. Also the book first challenge was much better, you had to beat a Draugh at an arcade video game.

6:41 I know a lot of people don't, but I love this scene. The fact Nolan and his executives are so chill about inducing seizures on people is hilarious to me.

The biggest problems in this film is the lack of anime avatars which would flood the oasis and how not one person spams mic chat

Interesting, everything he sinned was what was changed from the book.

I'm still in the middle of the book that this movie was based on and its mindblowing how they just skimmed over the world-building and changed the ENTIRE egg hunt, literally the entire plot. they changed the answers, the riddles, they took out a whole SUBSECTION of it. jesus. theres also multiple spielberg references in the book. i guess steven really liked his references.

Artemis being named Artemis is kinda ironic because in Greek mythology Artemis was a goddess who didn’t fall in love.

The worst sin is that he's flirting with a chick instead of grieving for his dead aunt who died a few hours ago.

The book did have a neat way of Wade getting an extra life. He had to play a perfect game of pac-man

Book Wade: Depressed for months cuz his aunt was murdered and he's isolated from everyone Movie Wade: Oh no! anyway

The fact that the first clue is to go backwards at the start, and no one figured it out for years is a massive sin. People do that shit in normal racing games, never mind when you are trying to solve a puzzle in race no one can win

“We shut off the oasis on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I could make out with this girl more”

Ok, when halliday said "if you look under your chair you'll find that there's nothing there" I'll say that was the funniest moment in the entire movie. Let me repeat, that was the funniest moment in the entire movie.

“If you look under your seat, you’ll find nothing.” My favorite quote in the movie.

9:21 Fun fact: In the book there were actually rules that made that in some zones the players can't fight and if they try, the game just freeze them for a little time

This movie acts like humanity wasn’t wiped out by the toilet paper shortage of 2020

Wade with no money, irl friends or girlfriend: Life sux, the only thing there is to do is the oasis, people have friends and lives there. Super rich wade with irl friends and a girlfriend: Life is pretty good so we should spend less of it in the oasis. He forgot where he came from in a second.

For the sin about no one finding a playable version of the shining, this was only activated because Wade and company had the bronze key. No other players had it so they would experience the normal movie in the oasis

I wish they had the budget to make this movie as close to the book as possible, it would be a million times better. The way the book describes the trials and how they are supposed to be solved are amazing.

Ready Player One should have been a trilogy. Ready Player One: The Copper Key Ready Player One: The Jade Key Ready Player One: The Crystal Key. They really missed a golden opportunity.

It pissed me off that just because now he’s rich and has a hot gf means that everyone spends too much time in the oasis, like, he used to and so manny others play it to escape the terror of reality but now he has a perfect life it doesn’t matter everyone should be happy

Sin 192: There's about 10 minutes of exposition at the start of the movie, half of which could be introduced later or cut out Sin 193: The way the characters talk about King Kong makes it sound like they use the same map again and again, meaning that you could memorize or even computerize the race, and yet no one has done it Sin 194: IOI drivers all use the same car, despite the fact different cars could help in trying to complete the race. Like imagine if someone brought like truck or something Sin 195: No one has done a Mission Impossible style break-in to try and get the keys. Heck, the egg itself is probably inside the code or something like that Sin 196: "Character on a motorcycle slides underneath a truck" cliche Sin 197: Cars seem to interact with each other, meaning to you could lose a perfect run because someone else, out of your control, messed up Sin 198: "Main character conveniently forgets thing they should know for the viewer's sake" cliche Sin 199: All of New York City's buildings rotate, but builds the bridge from nothing, instead of, like, taking the Brooklyn Bridge and putting it there Sin 200: Wade is kidnapped and brought to a secret base because... Sin 201: IOI has access to body armor and long guns, for no reason Sin 202: IOI doesn't decide to surround the building, despite the fact that they could clearly do so Sin 203: For some reason in the Artari puzzle, the ice breaks after one minute of play, meaning that if you had like 30 minutes, you can do the puzzle by pure trial-and-error, which is what IOI ends up doing

I think you forgot to mention one. At about 2:22 Anorak says he created 3 hidden keys to 3 magic gates well at the end of the movie all 3 keys go into the same gate, and Anorak had all 3 keys.

I never understood how nobody, even by accident, went backwards

Ready Player One: Nerdy fanBoi joins up with his lesbian homie, a Twitch streamer, a power ranger and an edgy boi in order to do a series of easter eggs to gain the absolute power in order to prevent EA on making the Oasis Pay to Win.

"It'S fU**inG cHUCkIE!" The delivery of that line was one of my favourite parts of the movie. 🤣🤣🤣

I have a birthmark on my cheek on one side of my face and I dont wear enough makeup to cover it up, but nobody has ever made me feel like I'm ugly or I have something on my face. Some might be curious about it but that's extremely rare and it's not really them being rude, they are just curious. Most people don't really care, they would rather just go about their day or just avoid talking about it I guess. It's not really that bad.

Wouldn't shutting down the Oasis two days a week cause a partial collapse of the economy?

Anyone else notice that he barely reacted to his aunt's death even if she wasnt great she was still his only family left and she died because of him

Highly recommend the book. Just finished it last month and almost everything is answered and more satisfying!

18:35 yes, in the books, I believe when searching for the 2nd key or gate(can’t remember) he thought he found a clue by playing a perfect game of Pac-Man, which in the book, Halliday was one of the first people in the world to do so. After completing this, Wade was awarded with the extra life coin.

18:38 Yep. In the book, it required a perfect game of Pac-Man: all 256 levels, and the perfect score: 3,333,360.

18:35 very true. In the book, the coin is on top of a pac man game, a way of reserving it back in Halliday's time. When parzival tries to remove it, it's stuck. He plays a perfect game of pac man, with maximum points, and then the coin falls off. It's stuck in his inventory, and he can't examine it, and therefore doesn't know it gives him a second life. That's how he got the coin in the book, and I totally agree it was much more satisfying

I love this book. The movie was fun... Without pretending you've read the book. And the book sadly, explains a lot of the loopholes in this movie In order for him to get the extra life. He has to play a perfect game of packman, which only few people have done. It was a great homage to coin op games that played a large part on the book

"Orgasmboxing" I'm dead 💀😂 7:34

IOI is a funny way of spelling EA

I love how nobody cares that IOI has literal gulags inside their facilities just because some people has debts on a game that is not even property of IOI.

POV: It’s 2021 and an evil corporation is already creating a “Metaverse”

As a person who has only read the book, I am super freaking confused on when some of these scenes happened

5:50 My big problem is not even that no one figured out that clue from that, I have a problem that no one just randomly tried going backwards for fun. I mean seriously, when a new game comes out all it's secrets are discovered by someone in a week. There are people who try EVERYTHING. This should not have taken years to figure out something as simple as going backwards.

"Hey, he didn't count to three!" That is actually a sin. He shall count to three, not four, and not two, unless immediately followed by the number three.

I’m glad you pointed out/ insinuated how much better the book was than the movie. The movie really could have been amazing if they stayed more true to the book.

The ending when he says “goodbye” it made me cry.

Wade:" You killed my mom's sister " Ahhh you mean your Aunt?

Ready Player One: Pop Culture References, the movie

“Hey, he didn’t count to three!” The exact words I used when I watched that scene for the first time somehow makes its way into his script

Your after-credits are always great. Leeroy Jenkins reference for the win.

18:30 In case anyone was wondering, In the book, parzival gets the extra life by getting the maximum possible score in a pacman arcade in the Oasis. Shit was almost impossible.

_How much did coke pay for the pepsi can to be turned around?_ Died of laughter

15:42 Excuse me? The second book wasn’t even announced until 2 YEARS after this movie. Can you see the future?

Oh my god, the "EVEN CUSTER'S REVENGE?" part made me laugh out loud. That'd be sure something

The "nobody thought to go fucking backwards in five years" thing was what I was thinking _the whole time._ Fun as this movie was, there's no way that "go backwards" wasn't tried in FIVE YEARS. Even if they didn't know the clue, someone would have tried it just to be silly.

This deserved 70 more sins for being a practically a separate story from the books

I read ready Player one recently, AND watched the movie... an hour ago or so. Book is a great read, Movie... well, it had some enjoyable parts, but damn did it suck at explaining things not familiar with the world. Good calls on a lot of the sins this time. I FEEL like the damn executive was petty enough to shoot Wade towards t he end though, but suddenly made it seem like he had a change of heart at the end. He had the shot and there was nothing in the way despite witnesses, but he apparently was already determined enough to do it anyway. Would have sinned that, personally.

I know most people don't like this movie, but I remember going to see it in theaters when it first came out with my father so it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

That moment when you realise the OASIS is pay to win

Ah. Of course. There just HAD to be 69 in the password

You kinda missed out Art3mis already have more than sufficient funds after completing the second challenge to pay back the IOI debt when they captured her. The reason they "imprisoned" her was stated by the evil henchwoman to be her outstanding debt they purchased. Art3mis could easily used her 120,000 credits to pay a measly "in excess of 23,000 credits" ONLY.

10:17 this was a lot more impactful in the book, as another character was established in that same stack that the main character actually cared for, but movie decided that wasent pop culture enough

I remember seeing the "I'm not wearing that" cliche Superman gag in this movie in theaters and adding my own internal "ding" sound.

Actor: breaths Cinema sins: you dare oppose me mortal

now i dont know if they included this before, and i know im really late to comment this, but in the book (SPOILERS BOOK NERDS), while figuring out the jade key, he thought it was in the arcade museum. and after finding out it wasnt he was walking away in shambles (also there isnt a team in the movie, its just a free for all, and agreement not to tell anything to IoI), until just before he was out i stumbled apon a holiday's favorite/childhood pizza place (thank the lord it wanst chuck cheeze in the book), and there was a coin that couldnt be moved, and was assumed that the only way to beat it is by beating the highest score. which was 3,333,350, requiring a perfect high score to beat the game. which he did, and didnt find out it was an extra life until he died.

Holy shi I just realized that this movie is 6 years old I remember me and my dad watching this all the time. Time sure does fly by

Now for Ready Player two : Press any button to connect controller.

The first time I saw Wade running away from the exploded stacks falling towards him I just heard in my head “Prometheus school of running away from things”

The movie totally misses that part where the main dude goes fully hairless.

I liked both the book and movie separately on their own merits. I knew going in that they wouldn't stick to the book, but man, huge changes. Hope there's a sequel for the 2nd book also.

"I BET the book did something different that was a lot more satisfying..." literally sums up this entire movie

You should have included that if they wanted to be realistic, 80% of the avatars would be anime characters.

I haven't seen this movie, so I was pretty surprised to see that one of the characters is an insanely hot girl who happens to have a birthmark on her face. I knew someone like that. Friend of my daughter. I was in my 50s when they were in their mid teens, so I had to play it cool, but seriously, she was gorgeous and had the most smokin' hot figure I had ever seen. Plus, a red-wine-stain birthmark that covered half her face and extended down almost to her waist covering most of one side of her body. I never believed that it distracted from her beauty, but I was an adult and she was a kid so I never told her that. She killed herself at 20, mostly because of her rotten self image of herself as something horribly flawed. It broke my heart that there wasn't anything I could do to bolster her self esteem, but I never let myself be alone in the same room with any of my daughter's friends. Had to avoid the appearance of impropriety, right? My daughter is 25 now and only two of her old friends still come around any more (to her house, not mine) and they have both turned out mostly OK. One married too young and is in the process of divorcing her deadbeat husband. I help out as much as I can, but between the three girls they have five kids, so there's only so much I can do for them. They have all called upon me to help with last minute babysitting, rides to appointments, small loans when necessary (OK - gifts. I have never been paid back), and other things one would normally call upon a dad for and I am happy to fill that role. Neither girl has one, so I am sort of their surrogate dad (and their kid's surrogate grandpa). They never talk about the one that killed herself. Probably because it brings up such painful memories. Better to move on and think of the future.

Ngl I absolutely loved this video it drove my curiosity for VR games and wanting them to be like this

"'We closed the Oasis on Tuesdays and Thursdays' - meaning people who only used it Tuesdays and Thursdays were f%$*#@" Kinda like WoW, eh?

I’m surprised the oasis isn’t more like VRchat. Where are the anime avatars? Where are the memes?

Ironically pretty much all your gripes are due to the changes made for the movie from the book. You should read it..

my friend loves watching your series! please keep it up my dear good sir.

Ready player one.... *player two joins* *SHOOK*

“They didn’t count to three!” : best reference 10/10

Glad you took notice of the DeLorean and BTTF references and such and even making your own little remarks about it, though I don’t approve of the sins, I do agree that they should’ve used the iconic BTTF theme when Wade started driving backwards.

8:44 rest in peace tab, gone but not forgotten 😭

Well he forgot about his dead aunt pretty fast

The Whole Movie Is basically The Gaming Community vs. EA

I wonder why the movie forgot about those big brain gamers on reddit who could literally have solved every puzzles under 2 years and those speddrunners

3:36 - YES! For a completely computer generated race with every element placed and controllable, whoever put this race together has no grasp of continuity, pace, momentum, persistence, or understands that most in the audience can grasp where a handful of critical vehicles are within the race. The Akira bike jumps all over the place to the point where it makes no sense and makes the critical "end" of the race feel forced and stupid.

The scene when H as iron giant is just injured crawling around makes me laugh bc that implies that while two feet away from her teammates in real life, she’s laying on the floor with her headset pretending to be hurt.

OKAY, so during that last scene with the real-life cut ins from the final fight, we're not going to sin how everyone is running on the sidewalk while playing the game and somehow not running into anyone or anything?!

The Leroy joke used at the s entrance of the film actually made it into another one of earnest cline’s books (armada it’s pretty great)

I will never forget the "woe is me" scar reveal...really? she still stunning!

18:35 in the book he did a perfect game of Pac-Man where he gathered every point and did every map... It was a lot more satisfying

It doesn't matter that "Jason Voorhees" would be easy to kill on planet doom. Your character stats and skill are more important than your character appearance.

Love you guys for putting the WoW reference in at the end.

15:19 No, the better way would’ve been for him to look for the sticky note. There’s no way Wade could’ve memorized those digits in such a short time.

Ive watched so,many cinema sins videos, ive pretty much memorized every repeated sin they use. So when I see it in movies, I count how many I can find.

didnt even mention how spilburg missed out basically everything from the book, completley changing the story and making it in to more of a love story

*BOOK SPOILER* In the book, he got the extra life from the arcade machine that the second key was at, it was a quarter that "mysteriously" fell off of the machine and into his inventory

the most unbelievable part of this movie is that no one went backwards in the race just for fun.

"How much did Coke pay to turn that Pepsi around?"

18:36 "I BET the book did something different that was a lot more satisfying," It did. Watts played allof 255 levels of Pacman and to beat the score which was set by Halliday, to get the Extra Life Quarter. But hey, as you said, the books don't matter.

1:07 is this frame we can see tracer from OverWatch. It's really cool they added that in.

13:29 Tell those drones to stop droning😂
