Okay, some of my posts shitting on the Minecraft movie have kinda blown up. Now that Ive had some time to think about the trailer more though, my opinion has slightly changed.
Listen, the cgi is damn awful, steves casting is questionable and the humor seems to be going for that sort of marvel esque shit im not a fan of.
Buttttttt
What did we expect? I saw some people bring up the end poem and while its beautiful did we really expect some A24 shit for this movie? This is a children's game, some of you might try and deny it but its true. There's no universe where this movie wouldn't be a cheap cashgrab flick.
And now that we've set our expectations.. honestly? For what it is? Not that bad. I still dont expect it to be anything like say the fnaf movie which was just amazing (atleast for me personally, i waited for that film ever since i got into fnaf as a kid) but who knows? It might surprise me.
Would i prefer it be more like the fnaf movie where the whole thing was basically celebrating the franchises history? Definitely.
What i think happened is we set too high of an expectation for this film, fnaf had more room to experiment with due to it being horror and smaller than Minecraft, but modern Minecraft and modern mojang is much more corporate than fnaf thats basically an indie studio and some guy in arizona. They have a child friendly image to upkeep, most of their audience is children. We should have expected this.
But this is just the trailer, maybe the actual movie will surprise us all. Maybe it is that end poem inspired A24 movie secretly!
Im definitely dragging my friend along to watch it in theaters lol
