Fun and nostalgic. I’m not a big gamer, but I have a love of the 80s I inherited from my parents that made the many references enjoyable. 

While this book did include diverse characters, it also included homophonic slurs and cultural stereotypes. I haven’t watched the movie yet, but this is an area that filmmakers could improve and expand upon for more accurate and respectful representation.
