The first trailer for Jack Black's Minecraft movie dropped yesterday, and it wasn't long before viewers started drawing unfortunate comparisons to one of the biggest cinematic flops of the year.
Even at first glance, I can spot several issues with the Minecraft movie from its first trailer. Perhaps the most apparent is Jack Black's Steve, who very much appears to simply be Jack Black in a blue t-shirt (and while we're discussing the work of the wardrobe department, I've got to mention Jason Momoa's shaggy bangs/pink blazer combo). Another is the fate of the animals, who in the studio's pursuit of Minecraft's blocky style look like the result of that first Sonic trailer - you know, before the blue blur's extensive redesign.
