"Definitely going to be one of the movies": Fans have mixed opinions about the upcoming Minecraft movie

Minecraft is about to get its first live-action movie starring big names such as Jason Mamoa and Jack Black. Fans have been expecting a live-action movie for years, as it was always delayed. With its release date set for April 5, 2025, it seems fans are not too happy about the state of the movie. Fans have been discussing it on social media platforms, especially Reddit, and discussing all the possible shortcomings.

Redditor u/Slick_Brick_McCrick posted pictures of Jason Momoa and Jack Black holding a sword and pickaxe. The image was from a video shared during the game’s 15th-anniversary event. The post incited a discussion about the upcoming Minecraft movie. However, the response was mixed.

"Definitely going to be one of the movies."

Redditor u/F0zz3rs commented that despite feeling excited about this movie, they keep expectations low. They believe that Jack Black will make it enjoyable and hope that the movie at least turns out to be amusingly bad.

u/Distinct-Entity_2231 was afraid it would turn out bad as Minecraft is a kind of game without the right material for a movie. The original poster replied to the comment saying that the makers should have made it animated instead of live-action.

User 3rrr6 commented that if the makers are smart about it, they will make the movie stupid. Either they will take everything too seriously or won’t take anything seriously at all. Another user named SlavidNinjaOfficial commented that they are not feeling too good about the movie.

Recently, two images were leaked on the internet showing how the mobs and the main character Steve played by Jack Black. While Black looked okay, the mobs looked utterly bizarre. With the mix of an animated and realistic style, they looked uncanny. This led to a lot of negative press about the movie, resulting in the makers taking down the images from all social media platforms.

It remains to be seen whether these leaks were real, or perhaps were just text material that will not look like the final product. All we can do is hope that the movie trailer releases soon and gets compliments from the game’s community.
