of course, donāt actually watch this expecting a good time. I wasnāt expecting art or anything but if you want to see how much nothing $215 million will buy you, this is the way to go. I promise you it is so much fucking worse than youāre expecting lol
Please save your money and time
This is the worst movie Iāve ever seen and they paid 200 million dollars to make it which could have fed countless people It looks so bad and I canāt even imagine how much Samuel L jackson got paid im generally pretty positive about movies and enjoy at least some aspects of most but this is genuinely awful
it was a tough battle between this and ready player one but at the end of the day this movie is the single worst theater experience iāve ever had. so, so, *so* stupid, but *so* convinced of its own cleverness and profundity. zack snyder is such an instinctually fascist filmmaker but heās too fucking stupid to weave his savage impulses into a coherent worldview, so everything he makes is just two hours of The Most Serious Guys In the World doing their best punisher impression while saying the dumbest shit youāve ever heard in your life. i had seen bad movies before this, but i had never seen a movie in theaters that was bad enough that it was able to totally overwhelm the natural aura bonus a film gets from being screened in one. was a valuable flashpoint in my cultural development and maybe fundamentally shattered any interest i had in superhero movies until into the spiderverse
do you really need to go see the minecraft movie? you know itās bad. like, not even bad-but-redeemably-funny. itās uninspired product placement propped up by celebrity and strung together by a plot just coherent enough to present the references that rile up the fans. you know the memes already, youāre not missing out on some cultural moment because you didnāt see the rest of the hour-and-a-half around Jack Black saying āchicken jockey.ā if you like minecraft that much (and I love minecraft), maybe you gather your friends for a LAN server night instead of paying for a ticket and putting a body in a seat and giving even a modicum of validation to the corporate film studio executiveās intuition that the masses are content to consume high production value slop from a media trough. start a realm, get blown up by a creeper, fight the ender dragon, listen to one of the best video game soundtracks of all time. donāt spend $30+ on tickets and drinks and snacks to sit in a theater and watch something you will not enjoy. in this economy, the most valuable things we have are our time, attention, and connections. donāt squander these things on a piece of media designed only to profit from a sentimental attachment to a game which provides a complete and much richer experience in and of itself.
someone snapped this at a recent show. love it because I look old as hell and Iām grateful to have been around with good friends and hobbies this long.
