I wanted to just add this right here on the top so you don't have to read this whole book I typed. if you really want to know whether to watch this movie or not simply go to like Wikipedia or if you don't trust Wikipedia some other place that tells you the stats of the budget it took to make this movie and the box office they made from this that should say enough for you!!!!!
I would have given zero Stars if I could. It also seems like everyone who gave this five stars most likely doesn't have a degree in film, what's even more funny is somebody said that every movie is kinda of good in its own way, that's like saying that everyone deserves to win if they work hard. No just because you work hard at something doesn't mean it's good or it's going to work out.Suffice it to say I didn't like the movie. It was so obvious ripping off so many different movies that came before, from which I can understand everything that we create has to come from some type of inspiration or from someplace else, but for a second there I thought I was watching "The Never Ending Story" then "the karate kid" then " The Forbidden Kingdom" and then you can take any other cliche already done before with this b-list movie. It actually had one or two funny moments in it so I'll give it that. I can't judge the actors because the writing was just terrible at times. It would have been much better if they just had him getting sucked inside the game and kind of getting isekai to a new world, everything else with the single mom struggling and running away from bullies and going to work for some Asian Guy who gives you free stuff drama could have just been skipped.
