To the surprise of many, To Minecraft Movie It is obtaining good box office results. This is unexpected, mainly because live-action They are Adaptations of video games They do not usually have good results on the billboard.
Take as an example the case of Mortal Kombat in 1997, Street Fighter, the last battle in 1994, Tekken in 2010, Assassin’s Creed in 2016, the Mario brothers (live-action by Mario Bros. in 1993, which despite the success of video games and even his Filmic adaptation In animation, he did not have the same result when he took the screen with actors) to name just some examples.
Instead, To Minecraft Movie It is having an unexpected success at the box office that goes against the expectations of many, who assumed that being a Live-action adaptation of a popular video gameit would only be added to the list of failures. But how has this achieved and it is worth seeing the movie?
What does a Live-Action a failure?
At the time of doing Cinematographic adaptationsyou will always have to face detractors. Either in adaptations of books, comics, sleeves, video gamesetc. This is due, in part, that people often save a sense of fidelity to the original work that makes them inevitable to compare one product with the other and feel that the initial proposal was better.
On the other, because in many cases the video games They do not usually have sufficiently complex stories to have a movie that can sustain your plot, and this makes them invent Narratives that do not always look good with what we see in the video game (Except for some exceptions, such as the future Live-Action of Zelda, if they manage to deepen the story behind Link’s adventures). In addition, the video games They are structured differently from Movies and eliminating playability also modifies the approach and this can generate rejection.
