    tbf, we don’t know much about the movie yet. Sure the CGI creatures are godawful but maybe the writing will be decent?.. well probably not

    the only hope i have is that Minecraft is big enough of a name that they’d allow the creators to take financial risks, such as: being creative

      I mentally prepared myself to watch the trailer, but honestly, it looks very safe, as they certainly know the association is enough to bring profit. Much like the Mario movie IMO, there’s only so much storytelling you can get from conglomerate media.

      First couple scenes I really had the impression that the backdrop was AI’d, but overall it looks like the budget went to everything other than costumes and sets. JB most certainly picked a blue T shirt out of the wardrobe and called it good… if they don’t even show armor I’ll be thoroughly disapointed, its about the minimum costume design
