When "Minecraft Film" initially announced, I was concerned that it would suffer the same fate as "Borderlands" film, which is currently sporting a ten percent approval assessment on rotten tomatoes.

Not only was it a box for the office, but the tank seemed to be the idea that the audience was interested in films based on series video games. However, "Minecraft film", which also an ironic star Jack black, has two things that "border" is not: younger audiences and successful IP.

With a $ 150 million budget, it is clear that bros are managers. And the universal images sweated when the film was released Theatrical 4. April. Although he got mixed criticism from critics, younger audiences and covered two thumbs.

Not only is it not only more than $ 300 million worldwide, more than doubled their budget, but also became the fourth-highest film from 2025. Years. This number is expected to grow as the mouth is called. While "Borderlands" was a little adult for a younger audience, "Minecraft film" was assessed only PG, giving parents somewhere to take their children to the rainweet.

As the film showed, Minecraft is really what you made of that, which is why there are so many people of all different age groups. Simply put it, it is a game where you place the blocks and create your adventure. You can craft weapons and hunt monsters. You can build houses, cities or even mechanical devices: the choice is yours.

The problem is, with such a large sandbox, so that the writers can tell the story that both explain the concept of the game good enough to welcome those new ones on the franchise and satisfy fans playing for decades? Currently, it is a mixed bag among critics whether they successfully managed to get them out or not.

Given that it is an open game, studio heads were aware that their film was just one of thousands of possibilities. Director of Jared Hess said Diversity Yes "We are not an official story," we add, ", we don't canonize anything. We are just one of the Zilion stories."

Parent Mary, president of world production for legendary, echoed, citing, "," I call it "Minecraft Film" because we respect the fact that there is no story that does not start the game. "

What is said, Hess has ideas for more stories. Hess said Games Radar"Oh, it would be so much fun" that asked to focus another movie. "I mean, I'm watching, there is also infinite in the world, so much incredible modes and signs and biomes we haven't explored yet, so it would be amazing."

I personally enjoy Jack black"Sense Sense for humor and was familiar with the games, so I was right in accordance with the target audience and enjoyed the film. However, there were a plot elements that were confused and seemed to be mostly relieved in the benefit of the comic.

The action was spot-on, but it seemed to be too much emphasized on black and Jason MomoIn my opinion. Everything funny Danielle Brooks Almost seems to be spent after the story is really going.

Stephen Thompson Eg seemed to agree. In his examinationIt is said, "MineCraft Conversion is a challenge, because the film has a lot of development of character for compensation. But as they demonstrated Lego and Barbie, it is possible to get spectacular law."

Since the film seems primarily targeted in children, it will never complain to everyone. Maxwell Rabb Chicago readerHe gave a particularly sharp examination, writing, "MineCraft Movie Meativy hollow the boat of the brand name and inserting a zomuffed story that is a little more than used (or cannibalize) the name. "

Dan Jolin from Campire Magazine He also felt that the film fell straight, writing, "a hyperactive hot pink mess of a movie that fails to raise your cubic original material and combine in that failure as to achieve something."

Although "Minecraft film" cannot complain about all the audience, the infinite creativity itself video games inspires the idea that there are still more movies. And, if nothing else, his success in the cash register all, but confirms that in the world of dying IPS, Minecraft still lights up as his female diamond armor.
