Genuinely, not as a meme review, this is one of my favourite movies of recent years (and no, I'm not a kid, or someone who doesn't watch movies frequently). I generally watch artsy movies, horror movies, sci-fi and a few under the radar comedies, but as someone who credits Minecraft for shaping my childhood, I had to give this one a shot. To put it frankly, the movie was absolutely hilarious if you've kept up to date on all the memes about it, tons of references to internet culture, cameos from Minecraft YouTubers and a genuinely great performance from one of the comedy great, once again from my childhood. The thing with this movie was, it felt like the cast were just having fun. Was the acting perfect? Nope, were some of the characters way underutilized? Definitely, but overall the movie was just a laugh. It was just good fun. I'm not sure why so many people seemed to go to this movie with the expectation of some life changing experience, but as someone who went to it to watch a comedy movie based on one of my favorite childhood (to now) video games, with that jack black early 2000s comedy flair, it was hilarious, detailed and had TONS of Easter eggs.

I see many reviews that throw one way or the other one one hand I see "the movie had no tension" and on the other I see "this was an amazing movie" personally I think it was decent, a good watch which I don't regret one bit, yet it does have no tension, however I think that's fine since the movie still managed to be entertaining, I was surprised to see such bad reviews, no I don't think the movie is gods gift to mankind, but it is by no means a bad movie, personally I think it comes down to people now hating Nick cage since he plays many roles badly, but I honestly think he plays this one well
