“Minecraft” is already mining for a complement

When “Minecraft” was initially announced, I had concerns that he would suffer from the same fate “Borderlands”, which is currently wearing a 10 percent approval for spoiled tomatoes.

This was not just turning the box office, but it also seems to wear the idea that the audience was interested in films based on the video game series. However, “Minecraft”, which is irony that Jack Black has two things that were not “borders”: a young audience and a prosperous IP.

With a budget of $ 150 million, it is clear that Warner Bros. The CEO’s CEO was slightly sweating when the film was released on April 4.

It was not limited to a total of more than $ 300 million worldwide, but more than twice its budget, but it has also become the fourth fourth film in 2025. This number is expected to grow with the continued spread of oral words. While “Borderlands” was adult for the younger fans, “Minecraft” was classified only on PG, as parents were given somewhere to take their children on a rainy weekend.

As the movie showed, Minecraft is really what you make from it, which is why it appeals to many people of all different age groups. Simply, it is a game in which you put the blocks and create your own adventure. You can formulate weapons and hunt monsters. You can build homes, cities, or even mechanical devices: choose for you.

The problem is, with such a big sand, how can the book tell a story that showed the concept of the game well enough to welcome the continuation of the privilege and satisfy the fans who have played for decades? Currently, it is a mixed bag between critics about whether or not they have succeeded.

Given that it is a game in the open world, studios were fully aware that their movie was just one of the thousands of possibilities. Tell the director Jared Hess diverse “We are not the official story,” adding, “We are not dealing with anything. We are just one of Zillion stories.”

“We call it” Minecraft “because we respect the fact that there is no single story that pays the game.”

However, HESS has ideas for more stories. Hess said Game radar“Oh, it will be a lot of fun” if he is asked to direct another movie. “I mean, see, there is an endlessness in the world, and many amazing and vital modifications and personalities that we have not yet explored, so it will be great.”

Personally, I enjoy Jack BlackThe feeling of humor was aware of the game, so I was right with the target audience and enjoyed the movie. However, there were elements of the conspiracy that was confusing and seemed to be mainly shining in favor of the comic distraction.

The acting was immediately, but it seems that there is a lot of focus on black and Jason MomoIn my opinion. Accuracy Daniel Brooks It appears to be lost as soon as the story really goes.

Stephen Thompson from NPR It seems to agree. in Review it“Minecraft is transformed into a movie that is a challenge, because the film has a lot of character development to catch up with it. But, as LEGO and Barbie explained, it can make it amazingly correct,” he says.

Given that the movie appears to be targeted primarily for children, it will never attract everyone. Maxwell Rap from Chicago readerHe gave a particularly harsh review, “Writing Minecraft movie pretends to be creative through the brand cavity of the names and introducing the Zombified story that does not benefit more than (or disturbing) the name.

Dan Julien from Empire Magazine I also felt that the movie fell, and writes, “A very hot virgin chaos for a movie, failing to raise cubic source materials and reveal this failure like achieving something.”

Although “Minecraft” may not attract all fans, the endless creativity of the video games itself inspires the idea of ​​more films that have not yet come. And if there is nothing else, then its success in the box office confirms that it is in a world of IPS who dies, the Minecraft is still bright like its desired diamond shield.
