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 !!" "Lol this guy sucks" before!

Spy Kids 3D

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.

This looks awful

[-] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago

Is Jack Black just required to be in every videogame movie from now on? Mario, Borderlands, and now this? Is he going to be Shadow in the new Sonic movie?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I think Keanu Reeves is playing Shadow.

Edit: yup - https://www.ign.com/articles/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-voice-casting

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Ok then. I still expect a surprise Jack Black as Big the Cat.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Lol nailed it

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

He narrates the Minecraft audiobooks my kid listens to as well.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

He is a gamer so, yes

[-] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago

looks BAD.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

When I read the post title, I figured it was gonna be some joke youtuber fan-made trailer cuz no studio would be that dumb.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

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..

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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.).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

...bad old days’ of video game adaptations (live action Mario Bros.,

The live action Super Mario Bros. was great, this is a hill I will die on.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Ill give you this; it was so bad that it looped all the way around and ended up good despite literally everything.

I definitely enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid, but let’s not pretend that it was anything approaching a faithful adaptation.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Jack Black is officially jumping the shark.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Whelp, i guess Netflix is the last hope now.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Wouldn't Herobrine just be Jack Black with white eyes?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Horrendous.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I'm weirdly on board with this and I think my kids will love it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Ummmmmm.....

What the actuall hell did I just watch? I believe the people agree this is bad. Likes to dislikes shows 152k to 115k.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

This looks bad, but the last time Jared Hess and Jack Black teamed up we got Nacho Libre, which was good.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Wow, that's.. crunchy.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

At least the mobs are somewhat good, I mean they're not perfect but they're not ugly either. PERSONAL OPINION

Tap for spoilerYou can downvote my opinion, I don't care

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

This looks like a straight to vhs release. I will not be watching it 😬

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Well, that certainly was a motion picture trailer.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

This movie is for literal babies

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

ITT: A bunch of 30+ year olds complaining that movie made for target demographics of 5-12 year olds looks dumb and for children

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

The Lego movie would like a word

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Just because it's for children doesn't mean it has to be bad.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Just because people on the internet don't like it doesn't mean it's bad.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I’m not going to pay to see it but if the choice of the song magical mystery tour sets up the tone of the movie it could be a bit of fun.

Pretty sure kids will like it.
