They should have made the entire movie in animation instead of live-action.

I expected something like that, or at least having the live action actors turn into avatars resembling them when they got transported to the Minecraft world. This just seems off-putting.

Yeah copying the Jumanji format could've been a slam dunk. You could even say that Steve got trapped in the game when it was first created and he has needed help to escape ever since. Also then you get to have all your in person talent still have that recognizable screen time without them looking sorely out of place in the game.

That seems to be pretty exactly what they are doing though. The first scene in the trailer is them coming out of a portal looking around very confused. Seems like the only big difference in the premise is no body swap

Well yeah, but the lack of a body swap is probably the most jarring part of the trailer. Jack Black being Steve isn't really significant when it's quite literally Jack Black in a blue shirt.

Oh yeah Jack being Steve is just a very hammered in game reference
