The Minecraft Movie Trailer looks silly

My hot take - I think this movie will be fun. It looks silly, and pretty absurd at certain points, but I think watching it will be a good time. My extra hot take is that the things people are laughing about (Jack Black being in just a sweater, the sheeps goofy face, the mobs having wild teeth) are actually all the things that make this fever dream hilarious.

TL:DW 'I think the movie looks a bit ridiculous, but I'm assuming it's intentional and I think it will be a silly goofy time. Hess has made some iconic absurd films, and this might be one of them.'

Evil Jack Black clone that appears in the climax of the movie: "My name is Brine, but I am no hero"

It’s always weird to remember Mumbo isn’t wearing a suit 24/7 and his mustache isn’t bushy and dark

[dpcubing]

realistic texture pack users will look you straight in the eyes and tell you this is a normal looking movie

[papabirb]

the injuries on the knuckles make me think that not only was mumbo secretly paid to shill for this movie but that WB wasn't happy with his first three video scripts

"Grian, is the moon big?"
There's a good movie plot right there.

[gagaer]

its another one of those movies where they get stuck in a game and have to get out but end up beating a boss

6:41 The creeper looks like a walking piñata (search your feelings, you know this to be true)! Also, why can piglins suddenly enter the overworld like that without becoming zombified!

[Dedelblute]

7:56 This dude has the be evil. A turtleneck AND a V neck? That’s like spotting twist villains 101.

the minecraft mobs look exactly like those 2019 “Minecraft Mobs in REAL LIFE!!!” videos 😭

i chose the best time to start replaying minecraft story mode

[violetvial]

I love how both Tommy and Mumbo called the wolf shot a “desktop wallpaper” in the most opposite ways possible

My biggest issue is that it seems to be a standard "real people get transported into a fictional world" movie, which always feels a little lazy when adapting a video game or cartoon IP into live-action. But honestly, I don't know how else you'd adapt Minecraft to live action.

... maybe it should have been an animated film.

In every minecraft controversy, we can always count on mumbo to stay positive. Never change, mumbo.

One of my major problems is it looks like they are walking on a green screen and it is all cgi with them placed there

[poppyfrancis]

I won't lie I wish I could have the same level of optimism, but I feel like the writing of the movie is going to be extremely insincere and insecure about itself

[gottendrop]

To me it’s not really how it looks, it just feels like yet another

-Group of people goes to another world

-wacky side plots

-defeat bad guy to go home

-end movie in way that prepares for sequel

It feels like a corporate movie that was pushed out to get all the kids who can’t see bad writing to watch it because it’s their favorite game

[luke.carman]

I lost all faith in this film when Rob McElhenney left the project and it got retooled into live-action. This doesn’t feel like a film that’s made for people with a rich, long-time connection to the game, rather that it really just wants to make your uncle laugh because he’s heard of a Creeper before.

[ceramically]

5:44 i always thought of creepers to be... Crinkly. Like tin foil. Not sure why. Like a weird bag full of explosives.

I think any time mumbo shows his face on the main channel it should be accompanied by a really cheesy obviously fake stuck on moustache. Just, y'know, for the brand
