    All my nephews/nieces and my own kids can’t wait to see it. So clearly it’s working for the demographic it’s targeted at. You’re not the target audience. Additionally this is Minecraft ffs, not metal Gear solid.

      So how about a movie that I’m the target demographic of: Borderlands, Clear example of hollywood not sticking to source materials and aiming for a quick, lazy cashgrab. Thankfully it backfired. This looks to be the same recipe, throw some well known actors in, type out a generic story vaguely inspired by the source material, slap the vfx team on it and call it a day.

      They are disrespecting the franchises they depict and by letting it be we show them it’s okay to do so. Kids don’t know what’s good or how to spot a lazy cashgrab. Most of them haven’t been deceived by greed yet, this could be it. I think they deserve better.
