Hear me out. I too rolled my eyes when A Minecraft Movie was announced. We're all tired of seeing Jack Black in video game movies — he was fine in Super Mario Bros., but good god Borderlands was a disaster.

It's hard to believe that a video game film targeting the youth male market could best the marketing juggernaut that was 'Barbie,' but there's a reason why 'A Minecraft Movie' already doing so well: It's seriously funny.

Let's be honest: "A Minecraft Movie" isn't going to win any Oscars. It's not a deep exploration of human nature or a masterclass in filmmaking. But what it is, is one heck of a good time. This movie wants to entertain you for 90 minutes, make you laugh, and bring some joy to your life, and in that, it succeeds wholeheartedly.
