AMARÚ

Jason Momoa excels as a hilariously insane tool while Jack Black’s rock awesomeness creates some bops, but I prefer those schticks in Fast X and the new Jumanji movies, respectively, much more than I do in A Minecraft Movie. This is where my “objective movie critic” lens reaches its limit because this movie is trash, fulfilling the real-life prophecy of full-blown, studio-fueled, IP-driven cash grabs that satires like The Studio make fun of. It doesn’t matter, though; it’s going to make a shit-ton of money, and there will be a bunch of sequels. At least I no longer feel obligated to watch them.

I mean... It's A Minecraft Movie. I know fans of the film and games will combat my criticisms with "It's just entertainment" or "It's for kids." And if you feel that way, fine. But you can't possibly tell me, even unironically, that this movie is good. Jason Momoa and some of the aesthetics give this movie a leg up, but between Jack Black's directionless performance, the cringe humour, the horrific green screen, the weak character writing, and the abhorrent script full of clichés and inconsistencies, it's obvious nobody behind this cared about what they presented since it was making money anyway.
