I hope the target audience enjoyed it.

When my family saw it, every kid in the theater was amped up and going nuts the whole time.

I mean that's not shocking. Its basically where pokemon was like 15 years ago.

Which funnily enough puts early versions of MC at about the halfway point between now and the release of Pokemon Blue in 96.

There are kids who grew up on Minecraft who's kids are now playing Minecraft. Its on damn-near every platform, and sells well everywhere its sold.

My teens went and saw it. Said it wasn't as bad as they expected. I won't take my chances.

Truly a zombie chicken moment.

I doubt I'll watch it anytime soon, I'm not the target audience by any means. I have a question though, does Jack Black actually act as a character or does he just play as Jack Black ?

I watched a review that said this is the easiest paycheck black has ever received. Just was himself. Which honestly for me is a great thing I tend to enjoy his antics.

Thanks. Oh I used to like him a lot but at some point my mind changed. Hey each to their own. And good luck to him also.

They made a Minecraft movie? Jesus, where the fuck have I been?

[-] danda@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Don't listen to the haters it was really good

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

would it be good if i don't like kids movies or care about Minecraft?

Up there among the greats with Pokemon: The first movie and the classic Disney movies ;)
