REVIEW:
The Minecraft movie is not very good. It’s not interesting and it’s not funny. Now on the one hand, some might say, “what did you expect? It’s a kids movie.” To which there’s the easy counter argument that a whole ton of kids movies happen to be really good for adults as well. One of my favorite movies from last year was The Wild Robot, for example. But then there’s also the argument that it’s not just a kids movie, but a kids movie made from a video game. I would remind those people of Super Mario Bros from just a couple of years ago, or Sonic the Hedgehog. In other words, there is really no excuse for the movie being what it is.
So let’s talk about what it is.
