A Minecraft Movie First Reactions Provide Mixed Response to Jack Black Comedy
The first A Minecraft Movie reactions are in, with social media mixed on the upcoming Jack Black-led comedy based on the iconic video game.
What are the first A Minecraft Movie reactions saying?
Earlier this week, the first reactions for A Minecraft Movie popped up online. The film’s response has been mostly mixed as of now, with fans divided as a whole. Some are praising the movie as “insanely bonkers,” and not taking itself too seriously. Others, however, have called the film one of the worst of the year, and lacking any entertainment.
The #MinecraftMovie is some of the hardest I’ve laughed in a theater in a while. It refuses to take itself seriously which allows for a lot of hilarious moments. Fun in ways I wasn’t expecting. pic.twitter.com/ab0ynKqasA

#MinecraftMovie is an AWFUL.. lot of fun!Director Jared Hess’s signature awkward/random humor had me audibly cackling several times. The VFX are impressive even if the humans stick out. Its biggest faults are in its story & underdeveloped leads. Still though, pretty entertaining pic.twitter.com/EfZNSGNjub

Social embargo is now up – A MINECRAFT MOVIE is easily the worst movie I have seen in years. Not one iota of it is entertaining aside from Jennifer Coolidge, whose back must be breaking from having to hold up this mess. Appalling storyline and script, if you can call them that.

THE MINECRAFT Movie: a lot of it feels muddled, and it’s unclear what audience it’s actually aiming for. A few jokes really work, but a lot of the humor is crass or doesn’t land. Black and Momoa are clearly having fun, but other characters are given nothing to do. More soon. pic.twitter.com/wdRQCfThSr

#MinecraftMovie is INSANELY BONKERS and is 100% what you'd expect in *this* big-screen MINECRAFT movie. Jack Black and Jason Momoa carry the comedy and its Jumanji-esque story. Visuals are perfectly translated and it's got some fun references from the game (and cameos) too! pic.twitter.com/jvPXmxN7XM

#Minecraftmovie is destined to be a cult classic just as Napoleon Dynamite & Nacho Libre have become. Jared Hess infuses his zany, weird, over the top, random, stupid, & overall dumb creativeness into Minecraft. It might not be a good movie… but it’s a fun movie. pic.twitter.com/HBH4jIebl1

A Minecraft Movie stars Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen’s. The film follows a group of people who are transported to the Overworld, where they then meet Black’s Steve. Together, they have to work together to find a way home, all while battling creepers, skeletons, and more.
Jennifer Coolidge also stars in the movie in an undisclosed role. Based on the best-selling Mojang Studios video game, the film is produced by Momoa, Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson, and Vu Bui. Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, and Anthony Tittanegro serve as executive producers.
“Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination,” the synopsis for the film reads. “To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”
A Minecraft Movie will be released in United States theaters and IMAX on April 4, 2025, from Warner Bros. Pictures.
