    The proportions are weird (everyone is much taller than 2 blocks), the extremely saturated world looks weird, the green-screen looks awful, why the hell is Jack Black Steve

    This genuinely looks very cheap

    Obviously main idea for this movie was just to have some minecraft stylistic and to be a cash grab. Creating interesting story was last on the priorities list.

      The “priorities list” has only two entries: a) make money with it and b) make it in a way that we can make a sequel to make more money.

    Big movie industry seems to be one of the most rigid forms of media. Every time I notice the same cinematic/presentational tricks used again and again to invoke the same feelings/emotions in viewer. This is visible in movies themselves but in teasers/trailers it’s done in some kind of heavyweight refined form. Minecraft deserves better than those overused formulas.

      Surely you’ve never seen some variation of “I am <the guy on the poster>!!” “Lol this guy sucks” before!

      That’s because these people learn the same cookie-cutter techniques at film school and start writing scripts in large groups right after getting their arts degree. Identity has been beaten out of them.

    I have the same feeling after watching this, as I did the Mario movie and the Angry Birds before that…

    I’m going to remain skeptical, but somewhat optimistic that this will be relatively watchable and hopefully not a complete dumpster fire like Borderlands…

      Is it really THAT bad Borderlands? I didn’t watch it yet, but looks somewhat good… characters aside, they’re BAD

        It really depends on where you draw the line e in the sand, I suppose?

        If you’re not too heavily invested in the game series (so you’re willing to accept retcons/story divergence), and are able to switch your brain off for ~100 minutes you’ve got a decent enough chance that you probably won’t hate it.

        More than anything, it just has a lot more in common with the ‘bad old days’ of video game adaptations (live action Mario Bros., anything Uwe Boll touched), than the newer crop of more faithful/reverent adaptations (Sonic, animated Mario etc.).

    If this doesn’t include something about Herobrine, it will be a complete failure and deservedly so!

        I hadn’t viewed the trailer before that prior comment.

        Judging from that trailer, they likely wouldn’t change anything about Black at all.

    Tap for spoiler

    You can downvote my opinion, I don’t care

        Shrek, Despicable Me, Every Disney movie ever, would also like a word.

        The best kids movies are ones that put jokes in for the Adults forced to watch them - it shows they care about their audience, even the incidental one.

      It’s not gonna stop if from making an absolute shit ton of money, and that’s all that matters for the studios.
