my sister and i went to go see the minecraft movie last night and i think it was the best cinema experience of my entire life

i had seen clips online beforehand of audiences reacting to the film and i hoped it would happen at our showing, but with an expectation that it might be quiet because uk cinemas don't really tend to have lively crowds even when the movie's hype. but when i walked in to the room and the ENTIRE audience was teenage boys...

every time jack black said the name of one of the minecraft items / locations the entire audience erupted in cheering and applause. bro people were even clapping BEFORE the movie if any of the adverts were minecraft-related. and nobody could stop laughing the entire time. one of the personal highlights for me was when the creeper appeared on-screen for the first time and maybe five or so different people went "aww man..." like are we ALL brainrotted LMAO

of course the 'chicken jockey' scene got the most reaction. as soon as the scene switched to the fighting ring you could hear everyone start muttering in excitement and wait with bated breath for jack black to "say the thing!!". once he did people were going CRAZY and i wish i recorded it but you can find any video of people reacting to this scene online and it's pretty much the exact same thing

side note why was there yaoi in the movie??? and why do i unironically fuck with it??? HELP
