    Making a Minecraft movie only for kids because you can’t be arsed to produce something actually worthwhile must be one of the greatest missed opportunities in movie adaption history.

      Not everyone can be Illumination with the Super Mario Movie I guess.

      I never thought I would say or think those words. I think I need a shower.

          Jack Black is one of those actors that can make even the worst script at least moderately entertaining. I guess we’ll have to see.

              I guess I’m out of the loop. I’m definitely biased, but I would be very surprised to hear that Jack Black did anything that would warrant my skepticism.

                I was gonna say the same thing. What all has he been in lately? I know some people just don’t like his style, but I feel like he does a great job for the genre he’s popular in.

                It’s my understanding he was great in SMB movie, though I haven’t had the chance to see it myself, and I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I thought he was funny in The Mandalorian.

      I dunno the borderlands movie could have been based on the first game and leaned heavily into the setting for a kind of gritty sci-fi alternative to mad max that really shows the underlying horror of the borderlands setting. Instead we got… whatever the thing we got is.
