At this point I'm going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.
Biggest problem I have with a movie like this is them trying to make a movie out of an endless sandbox game. If a game has a definitive end, then sure it's fine. Just look at the Fallout show and Sonic movie.
Imagine if for some reason The Powder Toy suddenly became a huge thing and they decided to make a movie out of it. Where do you go while not being lame? That's how I feel about this upcoming film.
It looks to be an acceptable movie in the same vein as minions to me. I really hope the plot won’t be as formulaic as it definitely is, because I’ll be compelled to watch it at some point.
Yeah, it's not like Minecraft itself is marketed to the hardcore gamer demographic. It's essentially a kids' movie. I suspect it might still suck at that though.
I feel like kids moves should be higher quality. Teach them about good films from a young age. One can't keep giving them mindless content at a time were they are supposed to be developing their minds.
OK, so it's going to be a shitty movie and no one is going to watch it, other than YouTubers, so they can dunk on the movie.
This is a second shitty movie with Black Jack in it. Lets hope he's not a trend setter.
I've read the article. It is based on the author's personal experience, which, news flash, does not represent reality as a whole. Also, even then he is wrong, kids movies can appeal to anyone: The Lego Movie, The Super Mario Bros Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog films.
Also, he called Minecraft Story Mode a "Netflix cartoon".
I mean tbf we got 40 year old on here salty about this movie, while my kids can't wait to see it.
It reminds me of adults bitching about minions being dumb and childish, that's the point
wait what... what does the article say? who do they even mean by "you" in the first place? are they right? am i supposed to form an opinion based on the title? am i back on reddit???
Are you guys surprised and angry that this generic movie for children isn't for you, or am I missing some context here?
Plenty of children movies appeal to both demographics. LTT's most recent stream passed some good ideas around about what would have made a better movie.
