This weekend’s review for “A Minecraft Movie” are out, and so far, opinions on this video game adaptation are split. As of now, the film has a rating of 55% on Rotten Tomatoes with 42 reviews taken into account. A general consensus from critics is yet to be established, but a quick look at the individual reviews gives us an idea. The positive reviews commend the cast, particularly Jack Black’s performance, and appreciate the film’s tone and universal message. However, many have criticized the plot for being too formulaic.
Compared to other contemporary video game adaptations, the Rotten Tomatoes rating for Minecraft is similar to that of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023, earning a score of 59%. However, it doesn’t come close to matching Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s Certified Fresh status from last year, which boasted an impressive 85% rating. Although Minecraft didn’t receive universal praise, it can find some comfort in knowing its critical reception was better than Borderlands, a film that was universally criticized with a score of just 10%.
After years of progress and numerous iterations of the project collapsing, the long-awaited movie titled “A Minecraft Movie” is set to premiere on April 4th. Featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa in leading roles, this film follows a quartet of friends who are mysteriously transported to the Overworld, a realm where imagination has no boundaries. Alongside Steve (portrayed by Black), they engage in combat against the forces from the Nether, a menacing dimension seeking to suppress creativity and demolish the Overworld.
This is a developing story.
