It looks to be an acceptable movie in the same vein as minions to me. I really hope the plot won’t be as formulaic as it definitely is, because I’ll be compelled to watch it at some point.

Yeah, it’s not like Minecraft itself is marketed to the hardcore gamer demographic. It’s essentially a kids’ movie. I suspect it might still suck at that though.

IMDb indicates that the screenplay was written by a pair of writers exclusively versed in the 6-10 age demographic, with touchups by rob mcelhenney. Directed by the couple behind napoleon dynamite. I expect morbius.

The fact that movies aren’t being wholesale investigated for money laundering is a travesty at this point.

Are you guys surprised and angry that this generic movie for children isn’t for you, or am I missing some context here?

The fact that capital-G Gamers are still hell-bent on the GamerGate-era war against Kotaku is deeply amusing to me.

Gaming journos bad, something something.

Sir, this is a good Pastafarian server, pls censor that filth. The childrens eyes can’t handle the raw sewage that is the word g*mer.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

This is exactly what someone who works at or has friends that work at Kotaku would say.

GeneralEmergency ,

G*mers should have been bullied more.

Why can’t the movie be for everyone like the game is? Why make it purposefully empty and soulless so only small children with a short attention span can enjoy it? Take some notes from the Lego movie. It’s not that hard.

For one, it is definitely easier/cheaper/faster to make that instead of a good, enjoyable movie.

Moghul ,

Do kids movies have to be stupid and vapid? This looks completely soulless.

mods_mum OP ,

What does one have to do with the other? Snow white is also a story for children and yet adults can still be disappointed about the upcoming remake. Are you suggesting we can’t criticise content for kids? If yes then why?

FozzyOsbourne ,

Criticise whatever you want, but your post is just a screenshot of a headline presented without context so I’m not even sure why you’re upset

Why even bother making good movies, when children also watch elsa getting spiderman pregnant?

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It seemed like it would be a cheesey movie with some dry humor and I was okay with it up until the girl character called Jack Black “a massive toolbag.” Thats not what I expect from a movie oriented to children, and that made me immediately drop any interest I had left. Then the rest of the trailer somehow got worse with the llama scene, whatever that was.

They should have made the movie animated in the same style as all their commercials, with the characters in a Minecraft style skin based on their real world appearance. Have them start and end in real life, whatever. But boy is this not going to be good.

This looks like the 90s Mario movie all over again. Or the Sonic movie – before they fixed Sonic. Like, even the Resident Evil and Tomb Raider movies are probably better than this and those movies were generally very inaccurate to their source material, and not well receieved.

I’ve been playing Minecraft off and on since the Beta. I usually play the “All the mods” packs when they launch.

I do not understand how people get so emotionally invested in an IP.

If it isn’t a good movie who cares? Just spend your time doing something else.

So? Bitch I grew up in the Uwe Boll era of video game adaptations. No movie based on a video game is for me.

I almost had a panic attack when I liked the Fallout show. Piss off.
