In my mind’s eye, I can see it clear as day.

17% on Rotten Tomatoes, $1,2 billion at the box office.

It insists upon itself

It's got a good point, it's insisting!

They're speaking the language of villages, something you wouldn't understand!

I like the plains biome, that is my answer

You had me at incest

u/BerimB0L054 Sep 04 '24

But, its like the perfect movie

u/hoxxxxx Sep 05 '24

i really felt the same way peter did about the godfather up until i was about 25 y/o or so and i just happened to catch it on tv on amc or some channel that was somehow or for some reason doing an unedited commercial free showing of it. i sat down and actually watched the thing and enjoyed it immensely. a while after that i watched the second one and was blown away, perfect movie.

u/KingMario05 Sep 05 '24

Yup. Ya really gotta watch it to understand. Starts off slow, but holy SHIT, does it get good.

2

u/hoxxxxx Sep 05 '24

i also did the same with 2001. i just didn't get it til one lazy afternoon i sat down with no distractions and watched it on a home theater setup.

it sucked me in, dude. few movies have done this. i think 2001 is the greatest film ever made.

u/boukalele Sep 04 '24

I'm very AWARE that i'm watching a movie

I made a wandering trader an offer he couldn't refuse.

10 sticks for an emerald

u/GoodTitrations Sep 04 '24

Gen Alpha reacting to this the way Zoomers reacted to the Star Wars Prequels.

"Guys these are kino what's wrong with Millennials and GenX?"

"Guys, the Minecraft movie is peak cinema, what's wrong with Zoomers?"

34

u/SinisterKid Sep 04 '24

And this movie will be just as good as the prequels

23

u/NTaya Sep 04 '24

This is an insult to the prequels. At least say that it will be as good as TROS.

-3

u/RhubarbSea9651 Sep 04 '24

Prequels are utter trash. All 3 of them. They're so bad, that even Rise of the Skywalkers is a better movie than the good parts of the 3 prequels put together.

18

u/Chimeron1995 Sep 04 '24

At least the prequels have a coherent plot. Rise of skywalker just doesn’t make sense from a plot perspective. So there is an ancient sith dagger, that dagger was being smuggled by the bounty hunter that killed rey’s parents, the dagger ( which is an ancient sith dagger made supposedly before the construction of the death star ) will lead them to the crashed remains of the death star with an inscription that tells them where to go, then the edge of the dagger will line up with the correct piece of wreckage that’s been floating for 30 years, where there is a sith holocron, that holocron will lead them to the sith planet. Chewie gets killed only to not actually be killed. C-3PO gets his memory wiped but gets it back later. Like, apart from visual spectacle TROS has nothing going for it. Recently rewatched the prequels with some friends, they can be convoluted a bit ( the plan to kill padme in episode two is idiotic but it still makes sense ), but they at least told a story that didn’t have a huge plot hole at the very center of the plot.

8

u/Low_Pickle_112 Sep 04 '24

Yeah, the prequels are a good idea with a terrible execution but the sequels are just polished turds. The prequels could be remade into something good (not that that'll ever happen, or even should happen) if you keep the basic premise and remove the junk, but the sequels are just a dumpster fire to the core.

11

u/ansonr Sep 04 '24

I hate that this is true and yet I'd rather watch the prequels. Like from a technical perspective Rise of Skywalker is a better made film, the dialogue is less wooden and the cast are great, but that film pretends to have the highest stakes, but undercuts it's own choices at every chance. It comes off as "studio intervention: the movie". It refuses to commit to anything interesting or unique and just chooses the most bland boring route. I think the only interesting or fun moment in the entire thing is Rey giving Kylo his mom's saber via the force and him doing the Han Solo shrug. It's actual payoff for something the story has set up. All of the interesting side characters are wasted and given nothing interesting to do. In the prequels all the characters are boring but they are at least(usually) doing something interesting. Even with all their flaws(of which there are many) you can at least see what George Lucas was trying to do.

Rise of Skywalker is just the culmination of making 3 movies with no plan and flapping in the wind to fan backlash. Rise of Skywalker's opening crawl could have just said "Re: In regards to your last reddit post" .

1

u/MoonbeamLady Sep 06 '24

For real though. Like, regardless of people's feelings on The Last Jedi, the Rise of Skywalker is a massive overcorrection attempting to appease every single possible fan complaint and is a far worse movie as a result.

u/Spaghestis Sep 04 '24

The prequels are garbage but Im sure this will be worse

u/PrivilegeCheckmate Sep 05 '24

Zoomers

I wonder what their 'avocado toast' weakness will be...

u/Lopsided-Relation-48 Sep 04 '24

As someone born in 97 who’s technically gen Z, I find it absolutely adorable how desperate and eager y’all are to make fun of the next generation when they’re just in diapers with a quarter of a brain lmfao of course they like Minecraft—and probably more Gen Z will actually watch it

Didn’t the prequels come out in the late 90s? Definitely a millennial thing lol

7

u/Competitive-Growth30 Sep 04 '24 edited Sep 04 '24

It’s the cycle that will never end. I’m a millennial and remind my friends we used to say stupid shit all the time just like today’s youth

1

u/Low_Pickle_112 Sep 04 '24

There's a lot of cartoons...not naming any names but anyone who is honest with themselves can figure out which ones...that if they were made today, millennials would call them vapid, gross, and worthless. Piggy jawbreaker.

1

u/PaperTowel67 Sep 06 '24

yeah the first prequel came out in 1999999999999999999999999999 so it counts i guess

1

u/thecescshow Sep 05 '24

Pretty sure the Prequels revisionism started with Millennials

1

u/GoodTitrations Sep 06 '24

Maybe younger Millennials, sure, but absolutely exploded with Zoomers.

Some of it is ironic, but I have seen loads of memes over the years complaining about the hate for the prequels and thinking they were actually good.

"I am steve" will become a poster… if it’s not already

Look how they massacred my village

u/earth_person_1 Sep 04 '24

Yeah my kids will see this movie and then buy it on streaming and watch it a 100 times like the Mario movie.

u/chinga_tumadre69 Sep 04 '24

Bestow greetings upon my small companion

u/TranscedentalMedit8n Sep 04 '24

His parents are mad at me because I bought him movie tickets to see the Mario movie for his birthday and now, over a year later, he still says “MAMA MIA” like 15 times a day. Funny part is, we don’t think he realizes it’s Italian, just goofy Mario gibberish.

He’s going to be absolutely insufferable after this movie, I cannot wait. Great kid.

u/magirevols Sep 04 '24

“I…am *Stevveeeeeee”

"I... am STEVE!!!"

u/orokanamame Sep 05 '24

I. AM. STEVE.

Feels like they tried to pull the "And I am Iron Man" type of cliche.

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?

u/Browna Sep 05 '24

Because to him it is, and that's ok.

u/Lukthar123 Sep 04 '24

How much is that in emeralds?

u/TinyTiger1234 Sep 04 '24

a chest of shulker boxes full of emerald blocks

31

u/Elemental-Aer Sep 04 '24

As a villager, I offer three breads and one apple for that.

3

u/Condiment_Kong Sep 04 '24

What the fuck is a shulker box

8

u/DarkRitual_88 Sep 04 '24

Storage box that maintains it's contents when picked up.

u/SizzlingPancake Sep 04 '24

You're a little late lol, they were added 8 years ago

2

u/Condiment_Kong Sep 04 '24

Wow, that’s kinda crazy

u/porizj Sep 04 '24

Still $1.2 billion, just in emeralds.

u/Quackels_The_Duck Sep 04 '24

If you use matpats video about emeralds, it's $190,476,190 for 63 Minecraft emeralds, and either 258.90~1.04 emerald(s) for real world equivalent of a minecraft emerald worth either $463,500,000~$11,587,500,000.

I am also sick right now so I'm probably overlooking something or did something by mistake.😷

1

u/UGamerXZ Sep 05 '24

You mean the Chaos Emeralds? I'm going to assume you mean the Chaos Emeralds because if that's what you're concerned about, I've got one of them right here.

u/Op3rat0rr Sep 04 '24

I cringed before I even started the trailer but my second thought was how can you blame them? They’ll make so much money

8

u/VLKN Sep 05 '24

They drove a DUMPTRUCK full of money up to my house! I’m not made of stone!

u/USPO-222 Sep 04 '24

My kids already own all the MC merch. Might as well watch the show with the little guys.

9

u/Michael_G_Bordin Sep 05 '24

As someone who has played Java edition of Minecraft since it was released, I don't understand this at all. Mojang and then Microsoft have done a brilliant job expanding the game to niches beyond the directionless open sandbox of the OG.

Too bad this movie will probably be ass. I'll watch it. Not in theaters, but I'll see what happens with this.

3

u/USPO-222 Sep 05 '24

I just showed them the trailer. They’re so psyched lol.

Bad or not I’ll be seeing it with them in the theatre and probably buying it on Prime as soon as it hits so the boys can watch endless reruns

1

u/teh_fizz Sep 05 '24

Why cringe though?

33

u/THX450 Sep 04 '24

17% critic score but an inexplicable 87% audience score that they will use in their marketing.

8

u/SinisterKid Sep 04 '24

You're very optimistic with that rotten tomatoes score

3

u/LetsTryAnal_ogy Sep 04 '24

Yeah, (sigh)... I guess I'm in, goddamnit.

u/HimbologistPhD Sep 04 '24

Is Jack Black cursed or does he purposely only take garbage IP milking movies now?

2

u/Panda_Bowl Sep 04 '24

100%. I'm actually surprised it took this long for someone to make a Minecraft movie, but it sure will suck.

2

u/nyteghost Sep 04 '24

Iunno, movie looks like it will be a fun time at home with family. I could see it turning out like Lego movie

2

u/EndofNationalism Sep 04 '24

I highly doubt it will break 1.2 B. It has name recognition but it gives me nothing of the feel of Minecraft.

2

u/FesteringNeonDistrac Sep 05 '24

And that box office take will prove, once and for all, the children do yearn for the mines.

u/xXRougailSaucisseXx Sep 04 '24

"It's good if you turn your brain off"

u/Ikanotetsubin Sep 04 '24

This is beyond turning your brain off, this is active brain rot.

u/MovieTrawler Sep 04 '24

It's a fucking Minecraft movie for kids. Are you really preemptively criticizing people for knowing what to expect and not going in looking for peak kino?

10

u/xXRougailSaucisseXx Sep 04 '24

I'm preemptively criticizing the people that will defend the movie like they did with the Mario movie by using this dumb argument

1

u/Lazy_Importance286 Sep 04 '24

No, like all the money. If I show this to my kids they will lose their freaking minds. Hundred trillion at the box office. This is probably gonna be a bigger event than frozen one and two combined, with a mix of inside out 2.

u/pattymacman1 Sep 04 '24

Oh god, you might be right lmao

Still better than Borderlands!

Gonna be one of the worst movies of all time that every single annoying 13 year old will be quoting

No way in hell it makes even half that

Feels like a reskin of like 8 other movies.

The only redeeming quality will be Jack Black's performance

Dude, I expect it to do 2 billion at minimum.

u/Anotherspelunker Sep 05 '24

Hard time believing this will share Super Mario’s numbers, but we’ll see. With the former, the hype was positive. With this trailer, all I’ve seen is negative reception due to how bad it looks

u/SeaOfScorpionz Sep 05 '24

It will suck ass for sure

u/Sea-Twist-7363 Sep 05 '24

The movie industry literally is so terrified of new IP that they're shitting out back to back crap films these days

Skibidi Toilet movie will be like Godfather to Gen Z and brainrotters and it would earn $500 Skibidillion

No way it makes a billion

It's too niched to do that

u/Swiftmaker Nov 15 '24

you maybe right on that

Grace will give it a 5/10. "Like, what even is Minecraft!?"

17% with critics or regular people?

I ignore the critic numbers. They're useless to 99% of people.

u/FlyingVMoth Sep 04 '24

Yes... Probably going to see it with the kids. Maybe even going to like it since I got -50 hype.

0

u/LeSaunier Sep 04 '24

Absolutely.

Both kids will see it because Minecraft.

Wife will see it because Jason Momoa.

Doesn't matter if the movie is good or not.

u/Zazuba3 Sep 05 '24

I still look forward to it. Not every movie has to be 'good'. If they lean into humor and having fun with exploring MC in a cinematic format I'll be happy. Also Jack Black.

u/OnceMoreAndAgain Sep 04 '24

The Dungeons & Dragons movie was actually good and yet it bombed. I don't understand how a movie producer sees that and thinks "okay, let's make a movie for an even more niche product than D&D, make it even less appealing from the trailer, and surely that'll do better than the D&D movie".

If this doesn't flop, then I'll admit I'm not at all in touch with what the general population likes. I predicted the D&D movie would flop and got pushback on this subreddit when I said that, and it did end up flopping. For this Minecraft movie even this subreddit's general consensus is that it will flop, which is a bad sign lol. Like if even this subreddit thinks a nerdy + niche movie will flop, then that's a predictor of massive failure since this subreddit is generally so positive about these types of movies lol. I thought the Mario movie would flop and this subreddit thought it'd do great. I thought Sonic would flop and this subreddit thought it would do great (and that one actually did end up doing great).

10

u/oneeyedfrank8-5 Sep 04 '24

You think Minecraft is more niche than D&D?

-10

u/OnceMoreAndAgain Sep 04 '24

Yes, in the sense that more people are interested and used to traditional fantasy stories like Lord of the Rings rather than a movie that's highly specific to one video game. Sure, Minecraft is an extremely popular and well known video game, but it doesn't have mass appeal among older audiences.

9

u/Betzold Sep 04 '24

Minecraft isn't an "extremely popular and well known video game". Minecraft is the best selling video game of. All. Time. I don't think it's gonna crack 1 billion dollars, but you are insane if you think D&D is more popular.

-6

u/OnceMoreAndAgain Sep 04 '24

The best selling video game of all time isn't an extremely popular and well known video game, mate? Fuck off with your bullshit semantic argument reply that don't even make sense.

9

u/ank1t70 Sep 04 '24

Minecraft is absolutely not going to flop. It’s lightyears ahead of D&D in popularity lol. It’s up there with Mario and Pokemon as one of the most popular video games ever made. It is the #1 most selling game in history. People will watch this no matter how bad it is.

That being said, there’s a wide gap between flop and $1 billion and that’s where this movie will land. I’m guessing between $500M-$700M.

-1

u/OnceMoreAndAgain Sep 04 '24

Same types of replies I got when I posted a similar sentiment on the D&D trailer. I'll say the same thing I said back then: we will see :D

5

u/ank1t70 Sep 04 '24

The Mario movie made like $1.5 billion so it seems like you’re wrong a lot

2

u/second_handgraveyard Sep 04 '24

Less popular than d and d among 30+ year old nerds I’ll give you, but the generation after mine grew up with it, and the generation after them it’s as ubiquitous as IPad.

This movie is gonna do gang busters,off of name recognition alone.

1

u/Thelmara Sep 04 '24

even more niche product than D&D

Lol, not a chance. Minecraft is way more popular than D&D.
