Notes: To be honest, I have to admit that I never played Minecraft, I did see some streaming sessions from a famous Dutch YouTuber playing this game but I canāt say I was really familiar with it. Well, I had heard that this movie had become a surprise success at the box-office and, indeed, I was surprised to see that the movie theater was actually full. What I didnāt know was that 90% of the people in the movie theater were some fans of the video game and, basically, every 5 mins, when they would drop some obscure random reference to the game, the whole place would erupt with clapping and cheering which was, I have to admit it, pretty awesome. But how was the movie actually? Well, pretty much like āThe Super Mario Bros. Movieā which was another huge box-office hit and lot of fun for the fans, Iām afraid it was nothing really great after all. Sure, it did look fine but, story-wise, it was seriously lacking though. It was obvious that Jack Black had a total blast and the guy (almost) single-handedly made this movie quite entertaining. Unfortunately, I didnāt care much about the other characters though. Indeed, the 2 orphans were just too bland, I donāt even remember the name of the black lady played by Danielle Brooks and Garrett, who probably sounded great on paper, didnāt work so well after all. I mean, if you have already Jack Black playing Steve, a completely weird guy who apparently never grew up, did we also need a has-been master gamer from the 80ās? Probably not.
