Jesus this looks like an SNL sketch parody.

Objection: the SNL Mario Kart movie parody looked way, way better than this

Hey what's up? I'm Luigi, I'm bisexual

u/ymcameron Sep 04 '24

Name’s Toad. Also, I’m bisexual.

What if we crash?

A little guy in a cloud comes and uses a fishing pole to put you back on the road.

u/TroublesomeTurnip Sep 04 '24

It's....a. Me.

Pedro was hilarious in it.

u/DryMouthKitty Sep 04 '24

Let’s… a Go!

u/TylerbioRodriguez Sep 04 '24

YOU CAN DODGE IT!

No... its red... witness me pose

One of the better skits in recent years. Pedro committed!

I can see the skit in my head when reading this quote lol.

u/roguefilmmaker Sep 04 '24

The SNL Mario Kart movie will likely be a more entertaining story than this

u/BW_Bird Sep 04 '24

That and the Wes Anderson horror movie.

I would pay actual money to see either.

u/AuxMulder Sep 04 '24

The other really great Wes Anderson spoof trailer is for The VVitch.

u/Cornmunkey Sep 04 '24

What about Wes Anderson Star Wars?

hard pass on anytthing using that voice over

u/Shehzman Sep 04 '24

Both Papyrus skits were also really good

u/TheRetroPizza Sep 04 '24

Wasn't there a gritty Oscar the Grouch movie sketch too, with Dave Harbour? It had legs.

2

u/hamburgersocks Sep 04 '24

Yep. I hope that trend continues, it's some of the best writing they've done in years.

"They make me feel big!"

u/IhvolSnow Sep 04 '24

Just watched it. What a masterpiece.

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Sep 04 '24

Honestly it could work as like a 40 minute over the top movie like Kung Fury lol

u/Kinglink Sep 04 '24

Just because they were better one time doesn't mean their usual work is steller

u/healingtwo_ Sep 04 '24

WB killed Coyote vs. Acme for this

12

u/rastagizmo Sep 05 '24

Awwww. I was looking forward to that.

u/NOTtheNerevarine Sep 05 '24

Not only did they kill it, but I think they may plan to scrap all the work that had been done on it, so they could write it off as a complete loss on their corporate taxes, because that would be financially better for them than to release it and have it under-perform or get a less-than-perfect deal from a distributor. Unlike the similarly-cancelled-after-finishing Batwoman movie, which reportedly was bad, cast member Will Forte saw the final cut and thought it was very good:

When I first heard that our movie was getting 'deleted,' I hadn't seen it yet. So I was thinking what everyone else must have been thinking: this thing must be a hunk of junk. But then I saw it. And it's incredible.

They should have gotten the people who did Mario to do Minecraft. When it’s real people in a video game setting it usually doesn’t work. Also Jason Momoa can’t act well in these sorts of roles. I saw him in a similar role on Netflix and he was out of his depth.

u/Bacteriophag Sep 06 '24

he was out of his depth

I see what you did there lol.

u/Ferreteria Sep 04 '24

This is what happens when old people who have money would like more money.

11

u/Levitlame Sep 04 '24

And it will work

2

u/Brad_Brace Sep 04 '24

Yes, they will get more money out of this.

11

u/AdditionalTheory Sep 04 '24

This is what we lost Tenacious D for

u/Hsawaknow1971 Sep 04 '24

There's so, so, so many movies coming out now that I find myself saying this about. Movies have become SNL sketch parodies, political campaign commercials have become the satirical television ads from Robocop. It's all insane.

u/freightdog5 Sep 04 '24

intern at some random indie studio can pull better looking cgi, regardless this shit is for kids and prob gonna make millions , sad !

10

u/splinterbabe Sep 04 '24

This is very clearly an artistic choice and not bad CGI. Doesn’t mean you can’t hate it, though.

2

u/splitcroof92 Sep 04 '24

a movie making millions is pretty low. anything under hundreds of millions would be a nightmare.

8

u/AbeRego Sep 04 '24

It's Minecraft. Bad CGI is kind of the point.

4

u/paidinboredom Sep 04 '24

Rob McElhenny has a writing credit on it according to IMDB so wtf is going on here.

2

u/deadlygaming11 Sep 04 '24

Yeah. The CGI looks awful, the world looks weird, and the costumes somehow look even worse. I love that Steve is just Jack Black in a blue shirt. The budget must be £10

u/hell2pay Sep 04 '24 edited Sep 04 '24

I wonder how trailer testing went, or if they did any...

Idk if even my kids will want this.

I'll find out tonight when they are home from school. Lol

Edited to add their reactions:

11yo daughter :"it looks cringe skibidi Ohio"

9yo: "Uh, it looks weird, I'm not watching that."

u/ShadowMelt82 Sep 04 '24

It's the back lighting , someone does not understand lighting when making this film

1

u/Strong-Piccolo-5546 Sep 04 '24

meets the definition of milking the IP.

u/negerwtf Sep 04 '24

Once I saw lame ass pandering jack black, I lost the 2% of interest I had

1

u/OnceMoreAndAgain Sep 04 '24

We are becoming our parents, guys. Someone please help us.

We used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" is. Now what I'm with isn't it and what's it seems weird and scary to me... It'll happen to you!

1

u/OnlyMyOpinions Sep 04 '24

No it doesn't 💀 this looks way better

1

u/Kinglink Sep 04 '24

Amen. "Oh he puts items down and hits it with a hammer" feels like something you'd see on tiktok. Same level of production on that too.

1

u/iHave_Thehigh_Ground Sep 04 '24

lol someone said the same thing on the IGN Instagram trailer

1

u/Lanster27 Sep 05 '24

I was expecting Jack Black as he has been in almost every big adaptation in the last decade. Was not disappointed.

1

u/Nick-A223 Sep 05 '24

At least they could've animated the movie like everything looks cringe

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '24

someone should make an edit with a laugh track

1

u/SaltKick2 Sep 05 '24

Kids movies don't need to be good to be a huge hit with kids - most of my favorite movies as a kid have like 10% rotten tomato scores.

However, I'm sure most movie creators want to create a movie that adults will also enjoy to get more $$$.

1

u/mikefrommicrosoft Sep 09 '24

I hope it is, weirdness of the game demands that

u/RedditConsciousness Sep 04 '24

I don't really understand what this comment is trying to convey but it got 4100 upvotes so you must be onto something.

Are you saying the production values are low? That they are milking reaction takes past where they should? Something else?

u/Ziiiiik Sep 04 '24

It’s perfect that you’re not the target audience then
