Review by isocano

I discovered Minecraft not long after its original release. Someone I knew showed it to me, though I can't even remember who - it didn't leave any impression. I saw a clunky game that didn't appeal to me at all. The rest is history... but not mine, since I've ignored it ever since (and yes, I do play a lot of video games - a lot).

The idea of making a movie wasn't just commercially sound - there was real potential to build something creative and fun. Who knows, maybe thanks to its box office success, something better will come in the future.

But what we've got here is a big pile of garbage. And that's a shame, because I actually liked the cast - each and every actor involved is someone I enjoy watching.

The visuals were heavily criticized after the first trailers dropped, but I didn't think they were that bad.

The real issue is that there's barely a movie here. A shallow plot, nonstop dumb dialogue... And I'm not even talking about the fan-service moments - those are actually well done - but there aren't that many of them either.

This is a product only for fans... or maybe just for very young kids. As for me, I think it's a steaming turd.
