The first reactions forA Minecraft Movieare here and they are unexpectedly positive.
“The #MinecraftMovie is some of the hardest Ive laughed in a theater in a while.
It refuses to take itself seriously which allows for a lot of hilarious moments.
Fun in ways I wasnt expecting,” said writerJordan Maisonafter the social embargo was lifted.
I really liked the weird little gem that is A Minecraft Movie.
A video game movie with Napoleon Dynamite DNA," described ScreenRant’sAsh Crossan.
“The Minecraft Movie works in every possible way.
Hilariously charming and the ideal family film!
Color me shocked but this is a big recommendation,” saidEJ Morenofrom Flickering Myth.
Jack Black and Jason Momoa carry the comedy and its Jumanji-esque story.
Visuals are perfectly translated and it’s got some fun references from the game (and cameos) too!
“, wrote entertainment writerChris Gallardo.
“#Minecraftmovie is destined to be a cult classic just as Napoleon Dynamite & Nacho Libre have become.
It might not be a good movie… but its a fun movie,” added criticZach Pope.
Not everyone was charmed by the film, however, with some critics slamming the script and the story.
“A MINECRAFT MOVIE is easily the worst movie I have seen in years.
Appalling storyline and script, if you’re free to call them that”, saidJasmine Valentinefrom Dexerto.
The movie’s director, Napoleon Dynamite helmer Jared Hess, recently confirmed that the film isn’t canon.
“Were not the official story,“he told Variety.
“Were not canonizing anything.
Were just one of a zillion stories.”
A Minecraft Movie arrives in theaters on April 4.
