A Minecraft Movie is set to arrive in theaters this week after years of anticipation from fans of the hit video game franchise, with Jason Momoa and Jack Black leading the ensemble.
The social media reactions have come out online following the film's premiere event. The responses so far have been solid, as a lot of them promised that audiences will be enjoying the big-screen adaptation.
Here are the five reasons why you should watch A Minecraft Movie based on the early social media reactions.
Jack Black and Jason Momoa
Jack Black and Jason Momoa's comedic performances have been getting a lot of praise in the early reactions and are called some of the major highlights of the film.
After all, both actors have proven in their past movies that they are charismatic stars and can carry an entire movie that audiences will love. There is no doubt that it will happen again with A Minecraft Movie.
The Movie is Accessible for Non-Minecraft Players
Some of the reactions have pointed out that A Minecraft Movie is still enjoyable for those who have not played the video game due to its entertainment value and mass appeal.
There have been video game adaptations in the past that were criticized for not being accessible to the general audience, but it looks like that won't be the case for the new film, and everyone will be entertained.
A Lot of Laugh-Out-Loud Moments
Based on most early reactions, A Minecraft Movie leaned more into the comedic tone and delivered a lot of laugh-out-loud moments that audiences will enjoy.
If you're looking to watch a good comedy on the big screen, it sounds like A Minecraft Movie will scratch that itch and, despite being a video game movie, it will have endless laughs and hilarious moments that will bring a smile to your face.
Fun for the Whole Family
Some of the early social media reactions have also suggested that A Minecraft Movie is a fun movie for the whole family.
With the lack of options right now for the family audience (aside from Disney's Snow White), A Minecraft Movie could be the perfect title that could propel families to spend time together in a movie theater.
A Love Letter to Video Game Fans
While A Minecraft Movie is accessible to non-players and appealing to the general audience, it is still, most of all, a love letter to fans of the video game.
A lot of social media reactions have teased that there are a lot of easter eggs and references that long-time fans will enjoy. There is also a tribute to the late YouTuber and fan Technoblade that fans are going to appreciate.
