Una película de Minecraft

As a longtime Minecraft player, I've waited years for this movie-and while it didn't blow me away, it didn't disappoint either.

The film delivers solid humor and entertainment, backed by impressive CGI. Jack Black and Jason Momoa absolutely shine, but the story falls short with flat character development and a predictable, overly shallow plot that could have been so much more.

If you are looking for peak cinema with in-depth meanings and inspirations, I do not recommend watching this movie.

But if you are just looking for a simple, fun, and enjoyable movie, this might be the one for you.

7/10.

I walked into the Minecraft movie hoping for at least a spark of the creativity and mystery that made the game iconic. Instead, I got 90 minutes of painfully generic kids' humor, zero emotional depth, and a plot so lazy it could've been written by a focus group high on sugar. Jack Black? He's the only soul in this lifeless block-fest. Man pours his heart into it, cracks some laughs, and single-handedly saves this thing from being a total trainwreck. Respect to him. But even his talent can't fix the fact that this movie does nothing for Minecraft fans. No lore, no cool nods to Redstone engineers, no epic Ender Dragon moments - just a forgettable cash grab dressed up in pixel skins. It's a movie made for 6-year-olds whose only exposure to Minecraft is watching YouTube shorts. For the rest of us? It's just insulting.

While I'm not completely familiar with the lore or overall structure of the game Minecraft, a game I've only played once in my life, I'm extremely familiar with the filmography of Jared Hess; an eternally goofy yet somewhat clean indie filmmaker with an uneven yet auteur worthy filmography under his belt. When I went to see A Minecraft Movie on Tuesday, I didn't go in to see a movie about Minecraft. I went in to see a movie from the director of Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite. And in that regard, I was entertained. The film is full of Hess' strange trademarks such as awful hairdos, silly replacements for swear words, comedically macho characters, odd sentiment towards the retro, a fondness towards Idaho and potatoes, and familiar faces in the form of Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jermaine Clement. It was exactly what it needed to be: silly, good humored dumb fun.

I see a lot of people criticizing this movie heavily I don't get why I mean it's a kids movie. It's not supposed to make any sense and honestly, I kinda like the way it is because it's dumb, but it's funny, dumb and enjoyable and plus this movie was special because everybody in the theater while I was watching Clapped every time a famous line for the movie was said and it was so funny when was the last time that a movie made people get together and actually enjoy each scene this movie did. I like that they reference Technoblade too. He would've loved this movie especially the reactions. If I had to read this movie, I would give it a 7 it honestly was enjoyable and people are too quick to criticize it but my point is that it isn't perfect but it's the people you watched with that make it enjoyable.

The film is quirky and somewhat stays true to the game. The cast is unhinged to the point where it works. Sure there are some cliches here with the story and then as well as character flaws but the film paces itself well and delivers a well rounded family film. Jack Black does the absolute best with what he is given as well as Jason does. Both of them lead the project with grace. As for some of the supporting characters, they seem to have a few tropes that were heard of before. I've played Minecraft for 10+ years and this is the best version of film we're going to get at this high of budget. Is the film perfect, no. But it is indeed quite enjoyable.
