A Minecraft Movie is really, really dumb

This blog entry contains spoilers.

My boyfriend and I recently watched the leaked unfinished cut of A Minecraft Movie and it was so bad it was funny. The characters looked like they were made out of clay but it was still an improvement from the ugly realistic designs. The Piglins' mouths didn't even move yet!

The opening part with the human characters felt like a completely different movie. That kid looked way too young for high school. Jason Momoa carried the movie, his character was actually kind of funny. Some people have been calling the movie "old man yaoi" and I kind of agree. Jack Black grabs Jason Momoa's butt when they're flying with the Elytra and they have matching jackets at the end.

What was up with the divorced principal lady and the villager? It was really weird but the credits scene where he spoke English and she spoke Villager made me laugh. They also played the opening notes of Revenge which did bring back some fond early '10s memories.

Some parts kind of felt like Minecraft could be swapped out for any generic fantasy world and nothing much would change. I also don't get why they went back to the real world at the end. I would happily stay in Minecraft land where there aren't any horrible real life problems.

I guess it wasn't the worst movie "TBD" ever wrote...
