    I dunno. From what I saw it looked intriguing - lots of very bold choices.

    Something of a sidenote: It’s interesting that there’s so much complaining at large about cookie-cutter movies coming out of hollywood, but when something strange or different from the expectation is even hinted at, there’s big outcries like this. Wonder why the studios so rarely take risks…🧐

      “Bold” is certainly one way of putting it.

      It’s not exactly fair to pretend like this is a good risk to take. If you take a beloved IP you better make something that the people who love it would like. From the trailer I don’t think they even knew who their audience is. From the humour to visuals this was not made for the people who love Minecraft.

            I think they’re taking a crack at the idea it’s anything other than a kids movie targeted at kids and people are acting like it needs to appeal to the adults who played release Minecraft.

            The complaints feel like someone complaining that a SpongeBob movie is silly or animated.
