You're going to ask yourself whether or not you're making a mistake in doing something. Many people have that at a chapel, many have that while waking up with a hangover, and many people will have thought at some point that making a movie based around Minecraft would be a smart idea.

I won't bore you with the trite comments youtubers have brought up, the "oh why not make it animated?" "it looks cheap." you already know those arguments and if you're pro the movie you'll dislike that argument.

What I'll ask you though is Where a movie is based around a concept of creativity and constructing things.

Why make a movie that is overly dramatic, silly and staged with the focus being on the world outside of the game for the beginning of it?

Lego Movie didn't do that, it had you in the world of Lego from the start and showed the ability to be creative with them.

This doesn't do that, because we have to give certain people a very noticeable screen presence to try and sell the concept of the movie. Because if you're told the plot of the movie before going in, you won't want to see it, as you'll have seen in a thousand times before and very truthfully, done much better.

Everyone for this is caught up in the arguments of pro/anti debate and very few are looking at what it is fundamentally.

A movie that is based on a person needing to do things to get items to combine them and make things so that you can build a thing you want.

That plays lip service to that while having actors that were all badly miscast present you quirky coming of age story 915612492 out of the Hollywood Gruel tin.

To quote a far funnier and better movie. "Nothing you did, was in any way a coherent idea. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent attempt at cinema, were you even close to making something entertaining. Everyone who watched it is now dumber for having done so, I award you 2 stars, and may god have mercy on your soul."

But I guess I'm here aren't I?

I won't go into details on the bad CGI, the terrible green screening, the stage-like feel of the productions. Others have and you can see those if you want.

What I'm here to talk about is.

Vibrato Instability.

I listened to Ms Zegler and Mrs Gadot singing and in both I had moments that you shouldn't have in a Disney film.

I flinched at the singing where in certain points, the actresses voices went off-key or warbled enough that it was distinctly noticeable.

And while I think that an actress who does present themselves as a singer is someone I can forgive for warbly singing or clunky attempts at pitch. When you're one who styles herself as being able to sing, making your - admittedly very small - audience flinch at those flat notes, off-keys and screeching vocals is not something you want to do.

I understand that hitting the high note is something any singer would want to do, and that nominally it's something that a good singer can do, but really Disney... was it that hard to get multiple takes of this song to mix them together so that you don't end up making your audience think it's a Jump Scare Sting?
