13 Most Overrated Movies Of 2018

By Jack Pooley / January 3, 2019

7. Ready Player One

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 72% (6.9/10)

Ready Player One may have been sporadically entertaining as the cinematic equivalent of candy floss, but in terms of staying power and rewatch value, it's comprised of precious little.

Steven Spielberg's latest is an undeniably visually dazzling light show, but in terms of its characters and plot, it's no less shallow than many of the retro video games it lovingly pays homage to.

Essentially Member Berries: The Movie, the film leaves an especially sour taste because it lectures audiences on the dangers of blind nostalgia while dining out on the exact same thing.

It is a film of considerable technical craft, yet touting little of the soul of Spielberg's better movies.
