this trailer has absolutely nothing going for it. This trailer is a
masterclass in how not to make a trailer interesting.
The most interesting bit might be Jack Black saying his character's name
and the other characters being utterly unimpressed, and that was not
that interesting in the first place.

I saw screenies of this one. I couldn't make myself watch the trailer.
But, yeah, it looks bad.

Not quite "Borderlands" bad, though. That was a movie that had
everything going for it, except it totally lacked heart and soul.
Nobody CARED about its production. Nobody knew who it was for.

"Minecraft" at least seems to have some vision. It's a sort of
first-draft "Sonic The Hedgehog movie" vision, sure, but it seems to
be a bit more than "let's just make this movie because we have the IP"
sort of thing. It's definitely not a movie I'd enjoy... but I'm sure
some people (probably the kiddies, although I'm not sure Minecraft is
all that relevant to them anymore?) will like.

I can't say that about "Borderlands". It wasn't a movie that was so
bad it was bad; it was bad because it was so uninspiringly average.
