Entertainment A Minecraft Movie cinema TikTok
The chaotic scenes at the Minecraft movie is the only meme in town and this is surely the only response you need
The cinema release of ‘A Minecraft Movie’ last week has had some altogether unexpected reactions from its audience due to its legendary status amongst the world’s school kids. Since the final trailer was uploaded, a veritable storm of memes has been brewing on certain corners of the internet, making some of the film’s lines iconic to a generation of young teens.
If it has passed you by, this is the official Warner Bros. trailer:
The trailer instantly became fodder for a barrage of mocking videos – so much so that when the film finally came out on April 4th (in the UK), cinema-goers were clapping, cheering and throwing popcorn when Jack Black (playing Steve, the protagonist of the game) said the fabled lines. We need look no further than TikTok to find the culprit.

However, it seems that no publicity is bad publicity for A Minecraft Movie, which has grossed $301 million in its opening weekend alone, no doubt partly because of its infamous reputation.
And of all the many things people are saying about it, surely this is the only one you need.
