According to reviews, Warner Bros. seems to have a new flop on their hands with “A Minecraft Movie,” as the initial feedback on Rotten Tomatoes is overwhelmingly negative.
The movie is based on a well-known video game and features Jack Black in the role of Steve. He joins forces with four unlikely characters, portrayed by Jason Momoa (as “The Garbage Man”), Emma Myers (as Natalie), Danielle Brooks (as Dawn), and Sebastian Hansen (as Henry). In addition, Jennifer Coolidge takes on the character of Vice Principal Marlene.
In this pixelated universe, survival and protection are essential for navigation. They encounter challenges such as Piglins, Zombies, and other perils, but they’re not alone. They join forces with Steve (Black), a master craftsman, to accomplish their mission. This journey will spark their creativity, the very essence of flourishing in Minecraft and real-life scenarios alike.
Additionally, it’s been revealed that a longer sneak peek of James Gunn’s Superman movie will be screened before the main feature.
What is the Minecraft movie Rotten Tomatoes score?
Based on the initial 45 reviews, the Rotten Tomatoes Score for Minecraft stands at approximately 53%. The fan score will become accessible following the movie’s release, beginning with Thursday previews and officially debuting on Friday.
What do the reviews say?
The good:
Jack Black & Jason Momoa’s Chemistry
A common consensus among many viewers finds the pairing of Jack Black and Jason Momoa to be particularly noteworthy. Their vibrant personalities, zany humor, and infectious joy are key elements that make the film an eccentric, unpredictably entertaining watch.
An unexpectedly amusing pairing that has won us over.” – Translated from Peter Gray’s review in The AU Review
“They offer a delightful, approachable experience, even to those not already fans.” – Translated from Grace Randolph’s review.
Faithful to Minecraft’s Spirit
Some found that it captured the game’s “sandbox” vibe and limitless creativity.
* “Captures the ‘anything can happen’ spirit” – Travis Hopson, Punch Drunk Critics
+ “Gives a sense of unpredictability or anything-goes feeling” – Translated by [Your Name]
* “A breath of fresh air after so many family films that seem preordained by lore” – Jordan Hoffman, Entertainment Weekly
+ “Feels like a nice change from the usual cliched family movies” – Translated by [Your Name]
Fun for Kids and Families
It lands well with younger audiences and is described as “uproariously good fun” by FILMINK.
even if kids aren’t typically fans of the game, they will still probably enjoy it.
Director Jared Hess’ Style
Some critics appreciated Hess’ absurdist, playful direction, likening it to Napoleon Dynamite.
1. “Jared Hess’s movies are always fully and hilariously made.” – Sean P. Means, The Movie Cricket
2. “Brandon Yu from NYT finds more personality in this movie than most films that come from a production line.”
The bad:
Lack of Depth or Coherence
Many people find the film to be superficial and disorganized, lacking a strong narrative and instead relying mainly on audience recognition of its intellectual property (IP) for appeal.
Devoid of purpose or impact” – Trace Sauveur, AwardsWatch
“Uninspired and unimpressive” – Soren Andersen, Seattle Times
Unfunny & Poor CGI
A few call it one of the worst video game adaptations yet, citing painful humor and “uncanny CGI.”
“Painfully unfunny… ugly to look at.” – Ryan Guar, Discussing Film
Corporate, Soulless Feel
Common complaint: it feels like a brand-driven cash-in with little love for the source material.
1. “Nick Schager from The Daily Beast states that cinema is merely used for the profit-making exploitation of intellectual properties.”
2. “Jacob Oller at AV Club lamented seeing endless opportunities and choosing a tired, overused path.”
Missed Opportunity for Older Fans
For children, it could provide amusement, but those seeking a more sentimental journey or complex narratives might find themselves underwhelmed as adults.
1. “Meredith G. White from Arizona Republic felt that the storytelling and humor weren’t engaging enough to keep us interested.”
2. “Jonathan Sim of ComingSoon stated that going straight down is a really bad idea.”
