“A Minecraft Movie” was a smash hit in theaters since the day it was released. But the reviews were mixed because the community and movie critics disagreed. Most critics agree that people went to “A Minecraft Movie” because they played the game. But the real question is, was it rated highly for the same reason, or was the film generally good? The biggest selling points for the community were nostalgia, creativity, and humor. 

But is that really enough to make a good movie on its own?

While kids loved it so much that they yelled “I am Steve!” and released chickens inside of theaters, adults did not like it nearly as much. Adults with kids or those who like silly, mindless entertainment enjoyed the movie, but others did not think it was good and thought Universal Studios could do better. 

Additionally, the internet thought that the movie added a lot of things that are not in the game. Others thought that it slandered the actual game with its actors, who either did not seem like the actual characters in the game or did not even exist in the game in the first place. Many Minecraft veterans hated that and thought Mojang could do better, which is part of why it had quite a few complaints across social media. 

Even taking criticism into consideration, many people were so into the movie that they threw popcorn into the air and screamed various lines from famous scenes. So, my final answer is yes, “A Minecraft Movie” is a good movie on its own.
