Especially since the post itself was largely disregarded and offered nothing to support it being posted to the subreddit in the first place. Arguably the author did insert maybe a bit too many 80s references into that excerpt, but the entire point of that part is to develop the main character as someone who has dedicated every moment of his waking life to winning the contest.

And I am of the opinion that anyone who claims that something is bad - whether it be a book, movie, TV show, etc. - without actually experiencing the source material themselves cannot give an accurate assessment of it. In other words, don't judge a book by its cover.

So, even if I think the movie doesn't look quite as good as the book, I am willing to give it a chance.
