@@DatMageDoe What sucks is the guy directing it used to do great stuff Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre and that third one that I don't like to talk about but I guess it was okay.

Megamind was for 9 year olds. Monsters vs Aliens was for 9 year olds. If you make a good movie though, adults will like it too. If you like a shit movie, parents will loathe every time their kid asks to watch it 'one more time'. The argument about that it's 'for' a younger target audience falls flat. A good movie can target a younger audience, but also pull in an older one. A bad movie can't.
I loved the original Star Wars trilogy when I was 9. I loved Jurassic Park when I was 9.. Age of Empires, Starcraft, Diablo, FF7.. Not sure any of those were 'made for 9-year-olds' but i thought they were cool as sh-t. Turns out kids like cool things, not things 'made for 9-year-olds'.
Not a movie, but obligatory mention of the show Avatar: The Last Airbender. A kids show so good that adults are still making video essays on it close to two decades later.
Not saying that the folks upset at the style of the Minecraft movie are wrong, but I'm more upset about the fact that the plot is literally just _Jumanji,_ _Alice in Wonderland,_ and _Wizard of Oz._ If they were going to do that they could have *at least* had the decency to put Jason Momoa in ruby slippers and a dress. (I bet he sings like an angel)
@@billyeveryteen7328 I absolutely love knowing that isekai as a genre existed before my grandparents. People might talk trash about it now but it's been around forever.
First Sonic Movie you got Warcraft, 2nd Sonic movie you got Assasins creed, 3rd Sonic movie you got borderlands, so it makes sense for next sonic movie you get Minecraft, it is the trade.
Lego Movie did both really well - it catered to adults and it catered to 9 years while adults (who had watched it themselves many, many times) finally decided to skip a re-watch and take a nap. This movie fails, not because it appeals to 9 year olds, but because it ONLY appeals to 9 year olds.
Did you forget that you were a kid at one point?? That was literally you, at one point in time (probably not skibidi toilet, but the sentiment remains)
@@WestminsterDoornobblers I think the bigger issue is so much media that exists now ages like milk in a hot car. Plenty of crap from our childhood has aged very poorly but more than some is still great and has aged like a fine wine. I just don't believe for a second kids are going to look back when they're older and think any of this stuff is still cool. Like none of it, not a single thing.
"This isn't meant for you" Regarding kids content is almost always said before movies crash and burn,. That Kotaku writer doesn't realize how many kids ignore the "you need to be 13 or older to make an account" thing, and just share their opinions on social media anyways. So a lot of the backlash is from the target audience. Plus Minecraft is 15 years old this year, so a lot of the most die hard fans are in their teens and 20s. They're not all "9 year olds", and it be a major mistake to think otherwise. Mojang realizes this for the most part, I'm not sure WB does though.
What's really weird though, is that WB did understand this back when they made The Lego Movie. Sure, that was also based on a toy primarily sold to children, but it made NONE of the mistakes the Minecraft movie did. It's fully animated (or purely live action) rather than awkwardly shoehorning live action actors into animated backdrops, it's written to be enjoyable for all ages rather than being built on kid stupidity only, it involves real people without falling back on the "sucked into the game" cliche... Seriously, all they had to do was apply the same sensibilities The Lego Movie got, and Minecraft could have been great too.
Oh it was Kotaku. I’m not surprised. They always have the strangest takes. They don’t objectively judge the content for what it is. They always bring up some random real-world excuse to say why something is bad or good 😂
Ha yes ''it's not meant for you, this is for 9yo''. Meanwhile the average Minecraft player (you know, just the community who is going to actually buy tickets and care about the movie), IS ON AVERAGE 24 YEARS OLD.
That's because they have all been playing since 9 just like my son. He started playing at about 9 and at 31 still plays. I have never played it. It's a game for 9 year olds, and so is the movie
@@anonemus2971 ha yes, the game for 9yo played by 24+ yo on average, Minecraft is probably THE game were there is no defined age to play. My point is : this film was made as a cash grab to capitalize on children, not as an actual attempt to please the community.
The Gen X teens & Millennium Kids got to experience their WTF video game movie in 1993 (the first Super Mario Movie) so now 32 years later the next batch of Teens & Kids get to have the same WTF experience their parents got (and grand parents too). All the while us old folks get to have are "flashbacks" of another movie that should have never existed, because some of us will have to be with them in the theater. though I experienced it earlier due to test screenings of the film.... In 30 years these teens/kids will have the same discussions we did about WTF they saw too. Although we should have ended that vicious cycle long ago.
Yes, abhorrent, crime against humanity tier video game adaptations truly are the chain that bind the generations. Though in all seriousness, this isn't 1993 when the adults making the calls had all missed the NES boom. I understand why games got no respect back then. But we've had more than enough time now for the first crop of gamers to be old enough to be in positions of power. I seriously expected that by now, "the establishment" would be treating games better, because it would largely be made of grown-up gamers who grew up caring about gaming. Yet somehow, it still seems like people who like video games, and people who like everything else, exist in separate parallel content universes. Like, take just about any reasonably current show, movie, whatever that makes lots of pop culture references. Odds are, games will still get hardly referenced at all compared to other pop culture material. It's like most things are still written by people who never were much into games. And that divergence includes people involved in movies too, thus game movies continue to be mostly hot garbage.
You going to watch it anyway and there is always critics whining while movie makes millions, also in my opinion it looks fine and the kids gonna love it
@@wesleycoomans6850 So many comments on here bashing the Minecraft movie completely ignoring the fact they're not the demographic they're shooting for. I mean, unless it's a bunch of 9 year olds then maybe. Do people forget they DON'T have to watch it if they don't want to?
We know isekai and portal fantasy exist, but this movie is literally just Jumanji but with Jack Black as Robin Williams. It's not like two songs in the same genre, it's like someone stealing your whole damn flow, but mastering the track like an amateur.
Wouldn't that mean that Jumanji is literally just The Wizard of Oz, since the Wizard is just a dude from Dorothy's world who crashed in Oz and became the all-powerful ruler of it?
@@Americanbadashh Except Jumanji wasn’t about them being in the magical world, it was about Robin Williams returning to the real world. Even the video literally explains that this is one of the most common tropes in fantasy fiction. Of course similar things are similar.
@@lunaraurora1755 You clearly don't know any uber-nerds who take anime and manga WAY too seriously. For them saying "may-n-ga" isn't simply pronouncing a word wrong, it's like you're from an alien planet where things are backwards and wrong. It crushes their chibi soul.
I think people are more mad that they are taking the easy route with the Minecraft movie instead of doing something to satisfy the people who have played it over the last 10 years and the next generation of kids they want to play the game for another 10 years.
The Concord reveal had me saying "but why?" So I'm not surprised that it absolutely bombed. It sucks for all the developers that put so much work into it, but it sends a clear message that we need to send to more publishers.
If they change the title to be something else than Minecraft, everyone will ignoring the art direction and just enjoy whatever the movie is about. The problem is they had the "wrong idea" of what Minecraft actually is and make a movie out of it.
yeah this isn't a Minecraft movie. this is Minecraft the game the movie. Was hoping the movie was going to be the perspective of steeve going through the struggles of his Minecraft life.
@@pacboygamer6728 It doesn't even have to be that, it could be something totally made up like the Wither Storm from Minecraft Story Mode, and it could work. Just something, _anything_ that's actually related to Minecraft at all. But instead of making a movie about Minecraft, they made a movie where the setting is Minecraft. The Minecraft movie uses the titular game as a background, and nothing more. It's depressing.
@@Mr.Bimgus Wait, hold on. A video game movie using the original game material as a vague jumping off point, rather than making something truly authentic to the game? A game movie where the only part that's accurate to the original game is the title? UNPOSSIBLE. I AM SHOCKED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNPRECEDENTED. Welcome to hating video game movies with blood-vomiting rage. It's part of the hobby.
Honestly this is just sad. We just had the Sonic 3 Movie trailer and the difference is stark. Funny how the best video game movies seem to come from the properties most associated with Sega and Nintendo. Honestly though. I did not expect for the Console Wars to have a sequel on the big screen almost 30 years later.
If you like the stuff with Silent Hill about the no ui, I highly recommend senuas Saga. Both games are beautiful, and with no ui in the way, it's very immersive.
The argument of “You aren’t the target audience” is not viable considering Avatar: The Last Airbender is a “kids” show, but can easily be enjoyed by adults. I was doing a discord watch party with a bunch of my friends, around 6 or 7 people in total that are between 19 and 26, and we all loved it. The characters, the jokes, the story. I was 18 when I watched the super Mario movie and I thought it was great, and it was the first time I didn’t cringe at a song note in a “kids” movie. Bowser singing “Peaches” had me laughing out loud in the cinema. The best kids show/movie is one that you can go back as an adult and still enjoy.
I could've sworn Riley's 'Throw some more gods in there'' was actually 'Reservoir Gods' and I'm going: someone call tarantino I'd watch the hell out of that flick
I love isekai style stories. I'm not saying the minecraft movie is going to be amazing, but im interested to watch it for what will Likely just be a nice laugh.
1:06 ...And this is how I learn that the word isekai is officially in the dictionary. I swear if skibidi is in the dictionary, humanity has truly declined.
Animation and some great voice actors would definitely have been better. But I'll give it a chance. Remember all the "outrage" about the Mario movie? It was actually great
Sony announces the shut down Concord. Nintendo a few hours later. Welcome to Concordia. (Mario and Luigi trailer) The Universe has an amazing sense of humor.
“It isn’t made for you” - Someone who doesn’t realize a family movie can have something adults can enjoy/connect to while their kids watch it. Edit: always funny watching internet strangers tell you why you’re wrong about an opinion/miss the point entirely. You never fail, internet ❤️
Exactly. "This isn't made for you" is basically cutting off an entire generation of people who grew up with Minecraft. It came out over a decade ago, this is not a new game that 9 year olds just picked up on over COVID like Roblox. You have MASSIVE age range at your disposal that you could appeal to, and you go with... well.. whatever that trailer was.
Can =/= has to. Appealing to multiple audiences means not specifically tailoring your experience to one specific audience. You continue to use this same example because a child's experience isn't important to you. Think of a better example.
But like, in the Minecraft movie trailer, that is supposedly "for kids" they drop an F bomb.. i mean, PG-13s can have 1, but it'd be strange to put it in the trailer..
Man that was a really weird bizarre reference, that the only post about it is on reddit and the info about it got deleted in that failed blackout protest.
I'm just mad WB will fund and release the Minecraft movie, but cancel movies like Batwoman and Coyote vs Acme. I know the movie isn't for me, but it's looks like garbage.
It's literally just going to be the more recent Jumanji, except in Minecraft. The game the movie is named after is going to be used as a setting, and that's it.
"It's a movie for 9 year olds" If Bluey, Arthur, Work it Out Wombats, and Friendship is Magic have taught me anything, it's that entertainment meant for families, entertainment meant for kids, and shows talking down to kids like they don't deserve a good show are all things one can pick up on even before they're old enough to know why they're different. And Minecraft Story Mode already showed us when the child audience of Minecraft was being entertained by people who care. And now Hollywood is here to do some talking down.
Ummm actually Jason Momoa's character is named Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison and I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a rock star. None of that matters tho because the trailer park step mom line was a joke
I had 0 interest in the Minecraft movie and didn't even know that's a thing … after the trailer I'm certainly gonna watch it (on a streaming service). Completely absurd without a hint of taking itself serious and with fun actors - perfect!
I really hope more live service games would fail like that. We really need to stop this frenzy that doesn’t give you good games, and maybe it will force studios to have solo/coop games.
Man, I thought AoM's legacy deity portraits wouldn't cost money It's especially embarrassing, since I've bought both the original, the titans expansion and the extended edition
my biggest wonder about the minecraft movie, barring the casting choices, why did they style it that way. It looks so unfamiliar compared to the game we know and love
Can't really use the Marathon trailer view numbers as something impressive I've gotten tons of ads for it so the numbers are probably bloated as hell by people who had to wait 5 seconds to skip it
I've been playing Minecraft (as an adult) on and off since it came out. Some games just can't be turned into a good movie, but you can turn them into movies that kids will enjoy who don't know any tropes yet. And that's okay. The Lego movie did a good job appealing to adults too, such as letting them say to their kids "I had that exact blue space guy, and his helmet was even broken in the same place, what are the odds?". We've come to a point where grown adults are complaining about the 20th "blockbuster" superhero movie becoming a bit stale and uninspired. I don't expect a "Minecraft movie" to be for ME. And that's OKAY. Jeez.

That thumbnail picture has me so hyped for llama RPG!
Bro Minecraft story mode slapped, I loved that game! The only Telltale game I fully bought.
James on the PIA ad segment? It's suddenly Carpool Critics' vibes
That Dawson's Creek reference hit hard.
Realistic Animation is a Scourage vs What Were They Thinking
The argument of “You aren’t the target audience” is not viable considering Avatar: The Last Airbender is a “kids” show, but can easily be enjoyed by adults.
I was doing a discord watch party with a bunch of my friends, around 6 or 7 people in total that are between 19 and 26, and we all loved it. The characters, the jokes, the story.
I was 18 when I watched the super Mario movie and I thought it was great, and it was the first time I didn’t cringe at a song note in a “kids” movie. Bowser singing “Peaches” had me laughing out loud in the cinema.
The best kids show/movie is one that you can go back as an adult and still enjoy.
the best kids movies aren't kids movies, they're for all ages movies
Astro Bot is very cute and I love it.

... yeah do that but don't fix it
I am an adult, and I think it is absurd in a hilarious way
Jason Momoa and Jack Black rock everything. Will watch it eventually when it turns up on netflix or something.
@7:16 Fredryk Phox! Ohhhh the Internet was more fun back then...
I could've sworn Riley's 'Throw some more gods in there'' was actually 'Reservoir Gods' and I'm going: someone call tarantino I'd watch the hell out of that flick
Cant for a Pong-movie with Jackfat Black as "The Ball"

"it isnt meant for you"
It seems like it isnt meant for anyone
I love isekai style stories. I'm not saying the minecraft movie is going to be amazing, but im interested to watch it for what will Likely just be a nice laugh.
Agreed just nervous that it's going to become an over saturated, half baked genre
1:06 ...And this is how I learn that the word isekai is officially in the dictionary. I swear if skibidi is in the dictionary, humanity has truly declined.
Animation and some great voice actors would definitely have been better. But I'll give it a chance. Remember all the "outrage" about the Mario movie? It was actually great
The Mario movie didn't look like it was inspired by "Minecraft in real life" videos from 2013.

Hi James (and company)
“It isn’t made for you” - Someone who doesn’t realize a family movie can have something adults can enjoy/connect to while their kids watch it.
Edit: always funny watching internet strangers tell you why you’re wrong about an opinion/miss the point entirely. You never fail, internet ❤️
Exactly. "This isn't made for you" is basically cutting off an entire generation of people who grew up with Minecraft. It came out over a decade ago, this is not a new game that 9 year olds just picked up on over COVID like Roblox. You have MASSIVE age range at your disposal that you could appeal to, and you go with... well.. whatever that trailer was.
@@Xfacta12482 roblox is older than minecraft, for the record
😂😂😂😂 u r a joke back then when I was child I don't remember a movie like this , if there is can u say me one movie that resembles this movie bots😂😂
but this is a kids movie, not a family movie
Can =/= has to.
Appealing to multiple audiences means not specifically tailoring your experience to one specific audience.
You continue to use this same example because a child's experience isn't important to you.
Think of a better example.
"I only listen to the finest gothic industrial" I haven't heard a reference to that in a very long time!
you know.... I've never heard the argument "it's a movie for 9 year olds" when it comes to anything made by Milt Kahl...
But like, in the Minecraft movie trailer, that is supposedly "for kids" they drop an F bomb.. i mean, PG-13s can have 1, but it'd be strange to put it in the trailer..
What?? What are you on about
3:25 they should put it up with frame saying "this is what failure looks like"
Fredryk Phox reference, right there with you. Do I win an internship with your company??😅
Minecraft will come to Fortnite, but it’ll actually just be jack black as “Steve”
Happy premature birthday 🎂
Man that was a really weird bizarre reference, that the only post about it is on reddit and the info about it got deleted in that failed blackout protest.
Shouldn't Element Animation have the highest rights to make a Minecraft film? They make the literal trailers for the darn game.
That's not how anything works at all...
Awesome content, love the humour!
Usage of The Wall in production is the production
For some reason during Minecraft Movie backlash part I had the video on 2x speed. I thought it was part of the video, because it fit so well.
Minecraft movie....Looks like Concord and Minecraft made a baby...
Love the Minecraft movie style! It looks like stupid fun :D
Sure !
1:40 only in theaters for toddlers is not how it works
I'm just mad WB will fund and release the Minecraft movie, but cancel movies like Batwoman and Coyote vs Acme. I know the movie isn't for me, but it's looks like garbage.
A movie starring 2 big actors isn't not aimed just for kids. it's their big excuse
damn Fredryk Phox reference
The only way I can see the Minecraft movie being saved is the writing. But just based off the trailer alone I don't have much hope.
its dead already lol. only the kids that don't know what makes something bad will like it lol.
Jack Black was the worst possible pick for Steve, even Danny DeVito would be a better choice.
It's literally just going to be the more recent Jumanji, except in Minecraft. The game the movie is named after is going to be used as a setting, and that's it.
4:06 dahm bro, you loyal to that sponsor
"It's a movie for 9 year olds"
If Bluey, Arthur, Work it Out Wombats, and Friendship is Magic have taught me anything, it's that entertainment meant for families, entertainment meant for kids, and shows talking down to kids like they don't deserve a good show are all things one can pick up on even before they're old enough to know why they're different.
And Minecraft Story Mode already showed us when the child audience of Minecraft was being entertained by people who care. And now Hollywood is here to do some talking down.
i just hope they make "Another minecraft movie" and it's actually good this time
Umm, actually Jason Momoa is a teenage girl, like the script announced last decade said.
Ummm actually Jason Momoa's character is named Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison and I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a rock star. None of that matters tho because the trailer park step mom line was a joke
How would you know that, @@JakobRush? Oh. It's Jakob. Hi. That was just me sharing my favorite inside joke.
@@RafaelScarpa Well Hi Rafael. How's your week going?
@@JakobRush Pretty decent, yesterday was good. Hope you're doing well.
@@RafaelScarpa Hey thanks! I had a tough week, but it's getting better. Thanks for asking. You're a real one Rafael ♥️
I had 0 interest in the Minecraft movie and didn't even know that's a thing … after the trailer I'm certainly gonna watch it (on a streaming service). Completely absurd without a hint of taking itself serious and with fun actors - perfect!
The Minecraft movie truly is a disgrace for the eyes
I really hope more live service games would fail like that. We really need to stop this frenzy that doesn’t give you good games, and maybe it will force studios to have solo/coop games.
Man, I thought AoM's legacy deity portraits wouldn't cost money
It's especially embarrassing, since I've bought both the original, the titans expansion and the extended edition
my biggest wonder about the minecraft movie, barring the casting choices, why did they style it that way. It looks so unfamiliar compared to the game we know and love
They likely googled "Minecraft screenshots" and didn't differentiate between the vanilla game, mods, and resource packs.
Can't really use the Marathon trailer view numbers as something impressive I've gotten tons of ads for it so the numbers are probably bloated as hell by people who had to wait 5 seconds to skip it
I've been playing Minecraft (as an adult) on and off since it came out. Some games just can't be turned into a good movie, but you can turn them into movies that kids will enjoy who don't know any tropes yet. And that's okay. The Lego movie did a good job appealing to adults too, such as letting them say to their kids "I had that exact blue space guy, and his helmet was even broken in the same place, what are the odds?". We've come to a point where grown adults are complaining about the 20th "blockbuster" superhero movie becoming a bit stale and uninspired. I don't expect a "Minecraft movie" to be for ME. And that's OKAY. Jeez.
