Review of A Minecraft Movie

Genuinely this movie has redefined my understanding of bad cinema. I have never seen a movie I've liked less. I think my fundamental issue with it, at it's core, is that this movie has no idea what the philosophy of Minecraft is. On one hand, it believes that anything can be done through the power of creativity. Fundamentally, it views things in the light that if you are creative, and put your mind to things, you can do anything you want to. On the other, it mocks all of the main protagonists for their states in life, even when they are being creative and chasing their dreams. The movie understands bullying is wrong, though, because it also mocks the people who make fun of things. It has the thesis that creating is harder than destruction, and that's why cowards choose to destroy things, but it also doesn't believe that, either? It spends it's time still mocking everyone, tearing them down, as if that doesn't also exist as a form of destruction. It's the cheap, easy form of comedy to the film, so to watch as it consistently mocks it's self in an effort to be a self aware comedy burns its attempt at morals, making both already weak elements of a weak movie even weaker. It is like watching a small animal slowly die.
