“To be honest, I wasnāt expecting much from it but, somehow, I still ended up watching the damned thing. Basically, a few years after āThe Fast and the Furiousā was released, they thought they could recycle the same concept and replace the cars with motors. It might sound really stupid but, sin” read more
“Even though I always admired Paolo Sorrentinoās work, I have to admit that I never became a huge fan. Well, in this case, even though everyone in my filmclub seemed to really enjoy this movie, to be honest, I had a hard time to really connect with it. I mean, as usual with Sorrentino, the whole th” read more
“I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I always had a weak spot for romantic-comedies but, to be honest, I had a really hard time to care about this one tho” read more
Notes: To be honest, I have to admit that I never played Minecraft, I did see some streaming sessions from a famous Dutch YouTuber playing this game but I canāt say I was really familiar with it. Well, I had heard that this movie had become a surprise success at the box-office and, indeed, I was surprised to see that the movie theater was actually full. What I didnāt know was that 90% of the people in the movie theater were some fans of the video game and, basically, every 5 mins, when they would drop some obscure random reference to the game, the whole place would erupt with clapping and cheering which was, I have to admit it, pretty awesome. But how was the movie actually? Well, pretty much like āThe Super Mario Bros. Movieā which was another huge box-office hit and lot of fun for the fans, Iām afraid it was nothing really great after all. Sure, it did look fine but, story-wise, it was seriously lacking though. It was obvious that Jack Black had a total blast and the guy (almost) single-handedly made this movie quite entertaining. Unfortunately, I didnāt care much about the other characters though. Indeed, the 2 orphans were just too bland, I donāt even remember the name of the black lady played by Danielle Brooks and Garrett, who probably sounded great on paper, didnāt work so well after all. I mean, if you have already Jack Black playing Steve, a completely weird guy who apparently never grew up, did we also need a has-been master gamer from the 80ās? Probably not.
