Minecraft Movie trailer explores the origins of Steve
Where “anything you can imagine is possible—as long as what you imagine can be built out of blocks.”…
The first teaser for A Minecraft Movie released in September to some decidedly mixed reactions, particularly concerning the CGI and character design and especially Jason Momoa's hair. And yes, there were many ridiculous memes. We were inclined to give it a chance based on the casting of Momoa and Jack Black. Now the full trailer has dropped, and honestly, odd design choices aside—and they are indeed odd—it looks like a perfectly acceptable fun family film and not much more, albeit very light on actual plot.

Why are people so angry about this movie anyways? It's not like we're adapting Anna Karenina over here, it's Minecraft. My kids who play the game wanna see it, and that's really the target audience.
Kids who played the game in 2011 are in their 20s now, and so I understand the feelings of disappointment. It comes off as a Hollywood cash grab rather than a project made by people who care about the game
If I had to nail it down to just one thing, I would say that it's the trope of the sarcastic teenager who just makes fun of all the stuff we think is cool about the source material. The only point for a character like that is to put down the fans who are trying to like the final product and pay for tickets.
I want a movie made by fans for fans, I don't want a movie made by Hollywood writers who only know about a product from their third cousins son and a quick glance at Wikipedia.
The sarcastic teenager trope happens so much, and we see writers and directors who are proud of the fact that they don't know the source material so often; I'm so tired of it. It symbolizes a banal cash grab. Will the end product this time be a cash grab? I don't know, but that's what I don't like so far drilled down into one specific thing.
Just because children don't care about consuming garbage doesn't mean you have to feed them garbage. Why bother showing your kids something good when they like elsa impregnating spiderman just as much?
I think this would be great as like a 15 minute YouTube skit.
When will they simply understand that it should be animated?? That live-action still looks like shit.
Shoehorning an origin story into something that doesn't have one, what could go wrong.
I came around as well on my outlook of the movie. I think it helped knowing that Mumbo was partially involved in the project, but I’m still holding my breath that there will be a hyper-realistic texture pack joke involved in some way to explain all the CG.
What if they released a texture pack for the game that matches the movie?
The children yearn for the mines.
This is the original meme I'm pretty sure
