Ranking March 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

5. Ready Player One

RottenTomatoes Score: 76% (7.0/10)

Box Office: With a huge $175 million budget, Steven Spielberg's latest tentpole needed to come surging out of the gate, and that it certainly did with a huge $181.2 million worldwide debut. Whether the film has legs remains to be seen, but it'll end up a modest success in the very least.

Verdict: Those worried that Ready Player One would serve up nothing more than soulless pop-culture references ad nauseum can rest easy: Spielberg makes of Ernest Cline's 2011 novel a visually stunning, witty and well-acted romp that should enchant nerds of all ages.

Sure, the plot and characters take an undeniable backseat to the eye-wateringly gorgeous visuals, but it's overflowing with personality regardless, and ends up feeling decidedly less cynical than many surely expected.
