I kinda like how the mobs look ? It's ugly, but the type of ugly with an odd charm to its aesthetic. I wish it would be only animation. I don't understand the need for live-action.
Judging that earlier today Microsoft's stocks went up a bit when the trailer came out, I guess I know why it is live-action.
It sucks. It looks like if you got the guy that made that 4chan Grotesque Steve to make a Minecraft film.

It looks like a god damn freak show, and very '2024'.
Yeah not for me. Funny thing is that the game is so big, especially with children, that i think if they had gone full Mario style cgi, the film would of been absolutely massive, maybe even beating 'AVATAR: Fire and Ash' for the biggest grossing film next year (in the US, probably not worldwide).
This live action freak show though, well it will still do well because of the the fact its Minecraft, but its not going to do close to what it would of done with a straight no bullshit cg movie imo.

Yeah complaining the second theres a fat Black woman on screen aint it folks. Lets not do that please.
"Blatantly" No. But definitely could use some tact. Giving him the benefit of the doubt.
The think its the lack of tact thats triggering people. When the only woke looking thing you can find in a product is a black side character it might be more tactfull to wait till further evidence before complaining about it.

why does this need to be live action?? what. the. fuck.
This is cats all over again.
It's a pixelated world of blocks ffs. Changing that aesthetic into a photo realistic look only has one outcome: uncanny valley.
Just have it be fully animated. It's not that fucking difficult.

Tenacious D used to be great and he has done some cool stuff. Linklater's Bernie and School of Rock are genuinely great movies. He was also amazing in supporting roles like High Fidelity and Jesus' Son.

Directed by the dude that did Napoleon Dynamite 
Seems he did some very mediocre stuff since tho.
I thought it was fucking Theo Von for a hot second.

This movie is a big risk. Actors on CG backgrounds for an entire movie could either be cheesy and endearing like Spy Kids or absolutely bland like Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Plausible deniability is a thing on GAF. The better tactic would be to remain patient and ask the poster to explain their stance further or get into a debate with them, in an attempt to get irrefutable evidence of your claim. The more cunning they are the more difficult it will be to do so.

Seems that a lot of people are unimpressed.
Using the "returnyoutubedislike" extension this thing has 12 million views, 395k likes and 556k dislikes. Yikes.
Dont get me wrong, it'll still make a boatload. They'll release it during a school holiday and it'll be an easy choice for parents of young kids. Just good to see that its getting justifiably roasted in the meantime.

Movie looks absolutely awful. Weird to see people insinuating it looks "woke" though, lmao. Watching the trailer I never once thought that, I just thought it looked like complete trash, lmao. 2025 already showing its next Borderlands.

I can't believe they used the "the child yearns for the mines" meme.

Just got out of IMAX (as someone who's barely played the game). I thought this was surprisingly fun. People even clapped at the end, so I'm guessing the reception will be pretty positive amongst fans.
It's not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, but it's well paced, has plenty of action, tons of references, of course, decent visuals (although you can definitely see the greenscreen effects), and overall, the experience felt like lighthearted fun. It's definitely similar to the Mario movie in that sense, which also wasn't that well written. If you don't think about it too much, it's a good time.
Jack Black and Jason Momoa are really fun together and definitely got the most laughs from the audience. The kids, on the other hand, are pretty bad actors, and the movie wastes time introducing random side plots about them, only to never talk about it again. Some of that stuff definitely needed to be cut.
The star of the movie though, is the world itself. And that stuff, just like in Sonic and Mario, was really well done. I heard fans oohing and aahing all the time whenever we were just exploring the world, seeing things from the game. Kids will eat that up like lava chicken!
This teetered on the edge of being terrible like Borderlands, but somehow, it made it out the other way as a fun watch. Replace the kids with better actors next time and tighten up the writing, and you've got a solid concept for a franchise.
With Snow White being terrible and bombing (I regret sitting through that), I think this movie is going to do really well.
6.5/10
(8/10 if you're a big Minecraft fan)
Stay after the credits for a fun surprise!
