Breitbart Reports: Actor and musician Jack Black is closing out an already terrible summer with the publicity launch of what looks like another humiliating box office flop.

Minecraft, yet another movie based on a popular video game, does not hit theaters until April, but the release of the trailer is already a public relations disaster. As of this writing, the Warner Bros. wide release has accumulated nearly twice as many YouTube downvotes as upvotes — 965,000 to 534,000 — and the trailer… The first word that comes to mind is dreadful:

The animation looks like something you’d see on a 1996, low-budget cartoon on some off-brand cable network like KidsTV 6.

I’m not the only one saying so. Forbes spent seven paragraphs trashing the trailer.

“What I can’t understand is why anyone would make such an unforced error,” writes Forbes. “An animated Minecraft movie that actually looked more like the game … makes far more sense than this soulless, low-effort abomination. I am aghast.”

The YouTube commenters are equally aghast:

My expectations were low. They should’ve been lower.

I expect nothing and yet somehow I’m still disappointed.

How brave of Warner Bros. leaving the comment section open.

Dear movie companies, if you don’t like having money, you could always just send it to me.

Can we go back in time when movies coming out were good?

Somewhere out there, there is a timeline with a good Minecraft movie. We are not in that timeline.

Borderlands movie: Damn I flopped so hard. Minecraft movie: Hold my beer.

Of course, Borderlands, one of the biggest flops of the summer, is another video game adaptation starring … Jack Black.

Apparently, Hollywood believes that since Jack Black co-starred in two successful Jumanji movies — which are kinda based on a game — if they add him to other movies based on games, the magic can only come along with him.
