I haven't seen either but I'm willing to believe you.
I think the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, overall, pretty awful. Watched Civil War the other day and it felt like the low budget B-movie version of Batman v Superman. Black Panther was fun but in terms of actual craftsmanship it still looked mediocre at best. I keep giving those movies chances and they keep dissapointing me, it's a real shame.
Now, not that Ready Player One doesn't look like a dystopian, late capitalist nightmare but at least Spielberg is capable of pointing a camera in the right direction.
