I dunno. From what I saw it looked intriguing - lots of very bold choices.
Something of a sidenote: It's interesting that there's so much complaining at large about cookie-cutter movies coming out of hollywood, but when something strange or different from the expectation is even hinted at, there's big outcries like this. Wonder why the studios so rarely take risks...๐ง
"Bold" is certainly one way of putting it.
It's not exactly fair to pretend like this is a good risk to take. If you take a beloved IP you better make something that the people who love it would like. From the trailer I don't think they even knew who their audience is. From the humour to visuals this was not made for the people who love Minecraft.
You mean kids, right? It's definitely not adults having a midlife crisis
Is this a crack at people who like minecraft and aren't children or at studio Execs? Lol
I think they're taking a crack at the idea it's anything other than a kids movie targeted at kids and people are acting like it needs to appeal to the adults who played release Minecraft.
The complaints feel like someone complaining that a SpongeBob movie is silly or animated.
Hey, that's not fair! I barely played release MC. I mostly played pre-release!
Sure, this is different in that we don't specifically have a Minecraft live action movie yet. It's one of the most successful IPs though. It's not creative. It's just some rich people seeing a popular IP and likely making a shitty generic movie in it with big name actors. We want to see new creative things in new IPs, not just the same few IPs everywhere.
Strange or different? The trailer makes the movie look like bland cookie-cutter junk. They want to play it safe and hope Jack Black can carry the box office numbers.
Making a movie licensed after one of the best selling videogames of all times, with a trailer that screams "Jumanji but with Jack Black" (maybe it won't actually be like that but that's the vibes I got from the trailer) is hardly a bold move in my book.
Not super familiar with that movie, eh?
No I'm not haha, I've seen parts of all of them but somehow forgot he was in the 2019 one. I think that says a lot about the impact these movies had on me...
