I actually like the movie. It made the best out of the book, which is meh at best.
I agree wholeheartedly. The book and movies are just vehicles for delivering nostalgic references, but while in the book 80% of those references were just listing off one thing after another, in the movie I could see and hear them, which makes it much better for that nostalgia.
Yep. Book wasted time with unnecessary callback lists, obscure shows, and a hero that was kindof a jerk. The movie was fun - not deep or anything, it didn’t waste time though.
