Minecraft (2025 film)

[TheHaunter]

really going to be tough when they bring Minecraft to horror nights

I think it needs to get modded before it comes to Horror nights LMAO.

Call it a hot take, but:

1) Not everything is for everyone. Minecraft is massive and geared towards a younger audience and that crowd is unexpectedly eating this up. I don't think anyone is expecting this to hit hard with the older generations by any means.

2) Cinema is boring without the existence of some silly movies that are "bad". Not everything should be a Scorsese film. I love a good garbage flick.

I won't be watching this, but nothing wrong with it existing and leading to a good time (just respect the movie theater employees pls).

I don't disagree with any of this, but the movie is still pretty awful. You can still be goofy/silly while also being awesome. A huge example of this is the original Lego movie. Minecraft being what it is could've easily been turned into a great movie just like what they did with the Lego movie, both concepts heavily about creativity and have the same target demographics. The younger generation/audience deserves better than this shlock.

I don't know...... I don't know saint. to me they are equal. Mario, Lego movie, ready player one, Jumanji, Minecraft.... it feels like the same movie with different actors and different art styles,

and yeah the Lego movie had the message about creativity, but so did the Minecraft movie.
Minecraft movie was literally about the boy being creative and about not quitting on his creativity.... they both had the same message.

they all kind of start and end the same way,
they all have some deep message they are trying to teach, about family or creativity or courage or whatever.

I will give you that Minecraft might be more annoying than Mario or Lego movie ( to me they seem equally annoying) but it's ironic that Mario and Jumanji also had Jack black being equally annoying in all 3 movies lol.

personally I would rather watch Minecraft than Lego movie again.

maybe you just hate the Minecraft property. and that's ok too. I prefer minecraft as a property than Lego.

idk man, this is a pretty strange way to think about movies. saying two movies are the same because you think they have the same “message” is … well, it’s sure something!

There's something so inherently funny to me about older people looking at the Minecraft movie and going 'Nope, nope, nope! All wrong! Should be a much better film, with a deeper message and more creativity and better execution!' while theaters everywhere are packed with younger people having the literal times of their lives being outlandish and outrageous and not giving a squat about how good the actual movie is.

Okay but kids crammed into theaters for Up and Ratatouille too. Like, they don't  have to suck.

I liked "good" kids books growing up, but I also loved "garbage" like Captain Underpants. Not everything has to be high art. It sucks to you. The kids love it.

no. what I'm saying is that they follow similar structures and similar plot points and similar endings.
the same way superhero movies can have similar themes, and similar messages, similar endings.

how many movies ended up with a beam of light in the sky and in new York for example lol.
like Spider-Man or ninja turtles or RIPD among others,
Mario, Lego, Minecraft, Jumanji, ready player one, they are all starting to blend for me the same way some superhero movies were starting to blend with each other.

I personally in my own opinion did not think that Minecraft sucked it was just average.
and in my own personal opinion it was as average as Jumanji 2 was or as average as Mario was, or Lego was. maybe those other movies had much better acting, better pacing, but they were all similar and average and generic to me for my own taste.


Minecraft was very funny. I laugh good
