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?
zaemz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think Keanu Reeves is playing Shadow.
formergijoe@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ok then. I still expect a surprise Jack Black as Big the Cat.
dukatos@lemm.ee 8 months ago
He is a gamer so, yes

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

looks BAD.

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.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 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.

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.

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…
Cris16228@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Is it really THAT bad Borderlands? I didn’t watch it yet, but looks somewhat good… characters aside, they’re BAD
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 8 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.).

Jack Black is officially jumping the shark.
kinkles@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.

If this doesn’t include something about Herobrine, it will be a complete failure and deservedly so!
Sebastrion@leminal.space 8 months ago
Wouldn’t Herobrine just be Jack Black with white eyes?
kaitco@lemmy.world 8 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.

Whelp, i guess Netflix is the last hope now.

ITT: A bunch of 30+ year olds complaining that movie made for target demographics of 5-12 year olds looks dumb and for children
Abbrahan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The Lego movie would like a word
ms_lane@lemmy.world 8 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.
SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Just because it’s for children doesn’t mean it has to be bad.
evidences@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just because people on the internet don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad.
RiQuY@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Horrendous.
ozoned@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m weirdly on board with this and I think my kids will love it.
Cris16228@lemmy.today 8 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 spoiler
You can downvote my opinion, I don’t care
pastabatman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This looks bad, but the last time Jared Hess and Jack Black teamed up we got Nacho Libre, which was good.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 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.
tahoe@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s not gonna stop if from making an absolute shit ton of money, and that’s all that matters for the studios.
Tixanou@lemm.ee 8 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
HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Wow, that’s… crunchy.
dumbass@leminal.space 8 months ago
Well, that certainly was a motion picture.
SassyRamen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This looks like a straight to vhs release. I will not be watching it 😬
daggermoon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This movie is for literal babies
mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 8 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.

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 <the guy on the poster>!!” “Lol this guy sucks” before!

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.
