I wonder how bad the Zelda movie is going to be. If they saw this working I'd wager they'll try and copy the formula. Which means more Jack black.

It will be unbelievably shit. Because you can't capture the spirit of Zelda in a live action film no matter who is working on it. This shit shouldn't exist at, but if it has to, Studio Ghibli should be animating it.

My friend dragged me to watch this. I haven't really played MC in 10 years or so, but he still loves it and offered to buy my ticket. It was terrible, but I was surprised by the amount of young adults and teenagers in the audience. They all acted incredibly moronic, screaming and chimping out at random moments for no reason. The movie also has Reddit-tier writing, the villain character was literally named "Chungus."

Matt Berry was going to be Steve instead of Jack Black before the 2023 writer's strike started. Thoughts?

Yeah is this normal behavior in America to act like literal chimps in a cinema?

People must know that the actors cannot hear you through the screen and don‘t give a shit if you enjoy it or not?

So even just one monkey can ruin the experience for all others who want to watch the movie quietly.

Great.

The story of Tetris being made was interesting because it was like one guy and there was a lot of historical context because it was made in the soviet union. If they tried the same approach with Minecraft or almost any modern game it'd just be a bunch of very skinny and very fat neckbeards sitting in front of their computers in an office for the entire 2 hours of the movie.
I'm not saying that to dismiss the work game developers do, its just that in the modern age it is really fucking boring and isn't going to translate to the screen well.

I mean it’s possible but not for Minecraft since it’s development overall has been rather uneventful aside from it’s historic success.

Base it around shit shows like bioshock infinite or DNF with strong personalities clashing while everyone else fights to get the product out…

That could work, but more as a tv show than a movie.

This mainly happens for movies that are seen as events, especially ones that got big through memes and Minecraft became one of those movies especially with how the Chicken Jockey scene for some reason caused people to flip out more, throw popcorn and toilet paper everywhere, and someone even brought a live chicken.

It's really like Gen Alpha's The Room and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

So this is the result of iPad kids that have grown up with TikTok and parents who never say "No" to them.

Gen Alpha was a mistake.

For one I'm glad there aren't any troons or faggots in this. It's just a fun movie for a kid-oriented franchise, it's good for what it aims to be. Emma Myers was kinda cute in this one too tho I like her less after she French-kissed a pajeet onscreen. It's like every white actress is on a countdown to getting blacked or suffering another humiliation ritual.

They do fuckall nothing with the setting in this film. ... It's actually almost astonishing how uncreative this film is using Minecraft's IP to tout how "you should be creative and don't let other people make you *not* creative!!".

This is what kills me about the movie above all else (barring the eschewing of basic audience etiquette that's having people turn theaters upside down, which could be a MATI rant of its own). It's a fucking open-world sandbox that can and has been used to varying levels of success as a framework for original stories. Even sticking as strictly to the "story" that the vanilla game suggests through monsters and realms as possible, something could've been gotten out of a Minecraft movie that isn't this absolute swill. But here we are, having learned nothing from dreck like Pixels, and not even taking notes from releases like the Five Nights At Freddy's movie that at the very least felt like it tried to do something other than be 100% fanservice (even if it was, I dunno, 90% fanservice by the end of things)—and its massive success sets a precedent for this to keep happening. Jesus wept if Baszucki's soulless ass makes a Roblox movie happen.

Kids deserve better no matter how silly the premise is, for fuck's sake.
