Summary
A Minecraft Moviehas definitely sparked controversy;while it has been wildly successful at the box office, critics by and large panned it. Nevertheless, the film has developed a cult following and inspired numerous internet memes, primarily due to certain memorable quotes from the movie.
One particular quote has elicited a strong reaction from audiences in theaters, much to the annoyance of staff and other moviegoers. Regardless of the overall reception of the film, it’s undeniable that there are several memorable lines that incorporate important elements from the game it is based on.
7"Fear Is Just Weakness — Hijacking Your Body’s Cockpit"
Garrett (Jason Mamoa)
Jason Momoa’s character,Garrett, is initially portrayed as a “tool bag” throughout the movie. However, there was an underlying sense that he might actually be a good guy. This became apparent when he jumped in at the last moment to save Henry from impending doom, despite the audience’s belief that he had died earlier in the film.
One quote perfectly encapsulates Garrett’s character. Although it’s quite foolish to say, there is a kernel of truth and valuable advice hidden within the nonsense. Garrett demonstrates that fear is merely a form of weakness through his act of bravery in the movie.
6"In The Overworld, Anything You Can Dream About, You Can Create"
Steve (Jack Black)
In the movie, a quote was included to explain what the gameMinecraftis, aimed particularly at fans experiencing the world for the first time. This quote effectively summarizes the essence of the game: it has no specific plot, allowing players to create anything they desire.
Throughout the movie, Steve demonstrates this by utilizing everything the Overworld offers. He creates various builds, tools, and weapons directly inspired by the game.
5"They Love Crushing Loaf"
In the movie, villagers play a significant role, particularly in the subplot where Vice Principal Marlene, portrayed by the legendary Jennifer Coolidge, forms a relationship with one of them in the real world. This storyline references the gameplay mechanics, where players can feed and trade bread to create more villagers andearn emeralds, the in-game currency.
Jack Black delivers a memorable quote in his signature style, which also serves as a subtle tribute to Technoblade, aMinecraftYouTuber who passed away. Technoblade would often say a similar line in his videos while interacting with the game’s NPCs.
4"You Ever Wonder What Happens When You Mix Hot Lava And Chicken?"
This quote has generated quite a media sensation, as it is followed by a classic Jack Black-style song that appears in nearly all of his movies. The scene in the film has inspired fans to recreate the iconic building in their own worlds, complete with the giant chicken on top.
Additionally, this serves as a reference to how some players cook chicken in the gameMinecraftby creating an automatic chicken cooker using Redstone, much like the way Steve is depicted doing so in the movie.
3"Woah, Is He Some Sort Of King?" “No. That Is A Legend.”
Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen) & Steve (Jack Black)
As mentioned previously,A Minecraft Moviepays tribute to Technoblade, a belovedMinecraftYouTuber who sadly passed away. A notable moment in the film features a pig wearing a crown. When Henry sees the pig, he asks, “Woah, is he some sort of king?” Steve responds, “No. That is a legend.”
The pig’s crown is a signature aspect of Technoblade’s in-game avatar, making it a heartfelt homage to a creator who significantly contributed to the game’s success and paved the way for a blockbuster movie adaptation.
2"As A Child, I Yearned For The Mines."
A pretty iconic quote that inspired many memes when it was first revealed in the trailer. It’s silly and provides some background on who Steve is, but it doesn’t really explain why he wanted to mine so much; he just had a strong desire to do it. He yearned for the mines, which was shown in the opening montage of the movie.
Among all the quotes in the movie, this one is perhaps the most memorable due to its humorous nature. In a film filled with jokes and references, this quote stands out above the rest.
1"Chicken Jockey!"
The most memorable quote from the movie has undoubtedly sparked a huge movement among fans. Whenever this line is spoken, audiences cheer and throw popcorn, even though this behavior is not recommended. However, there’s no denying the significant cultural impact it has made.
This iconic line is delivered during a fight in the Woodland Mansion. Garrett is in battle when it’s revealed that he is actually fighting a Chicken Jockey,which is a baby villager riding on a chicken. Steve delivers the line in his signature Jack Black style, solidifying it as the best quote inA Minecraft Movie.
