film and television critic matt zoller seitz praised "ready player one" and noted the undercurrent of sadness present in the film, stating that "i don't think spielberg gets enough credit for making sad films that most people interpret as happy, and complex films that are immediately dismissed as simple or confused". seitz concluded that the film "is a mess, but it is a fascinating and complex one..." in march 2019, a year after the film's release, seitz determined that with "ready player one"s images commenting on capitalism and popular culture, the film was the second-most "interesting [and] substantive" big-budgeted fantasy in 2018 after "black panther", admitting that "i still think about ["ready player one"] a lot, especially in relation to the world around me."
