Minecraft is undeniably one of the most popular games on the planet, capturing the imaginations of millions of kids who grow up more familiar with its blocky world than their own households. With its monumental success, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood decided to bring Minecraft to the big screen. The recently dropped trailer for the Minecraft movie, however, has received a lukewarm reception at best.

The announcement of a live-action Minecraft movie sparked skepticism, with many predicting that it would be difficult to make it watchable. The release of the teaser has only confirmed these suspicions, with the majority of reactions being less than enthusiastic. One of the main points of contention is the casting of Jack Black as Steve. For those unfamiliar, Steve is the default player character in Minecraft, known for his simple, blocky appearance and blue shirt.

Jack Black's portrayal of Steve has been met with criticism, with many arguing that it looks like he just rolled out of bed and was handed a blue shirt. The costume design has been described as low effort, drawing comparisons to a hypothetical scenario where someone wears a plain white shirt to play Homer in a live-action Simpsons movie. The costume's lack of detail has even been compared unfavorably to those seen in adult film parodies.

Despite the negative feedback, the Minecraft movie is still highly anticipated due to the game's massive fanbase. Whether Jack Black's performance will be a misstep or a stroke of genius remains to be seen. For those interested in seeing the trailer and forming their own opinions, the video is available to watch now.
