Jason Momoa’s next movie,A Minecraft Movie, could be a major hit at the box office, but I think it will continue a disappointing Rotten Tomatoes streak for the actor. Momoa leads thecast ofA Minecraft Movieas Greg “The Garbage Man” Garrison, who is one of four people transported to the world ofMinecraft. Greg is joined by Natalie, Dawn, and Henry, and the four of them must work together to find a way out of the strange world. Eventually, they meet Steve, who teaches them how to survive and thrive in the world.
In addition to Momoa, theupcomingMinecraftfilmalso stars Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen. Thetrailer forA Minecraft Moviemakes the film look very entertaining and assures me that it will be a major success at the box office. However, I am not confident that critics will likeA Minecraft Moviethat much. If this is the case, thenA Minecraft Moviewill continue an unfortunate Rotten Tomatoes streak for Momoa.
A Minecraft Movie Looks Fun But Not Necessarily Good
Minecraftis the best-selling video game of all time, and a movie has been in development since 2014. Therefore, I’m excited that aMinecraftmovie is finally being released. However, based on the trailers for the film, I’m not at all confident that it will get good reviews.A Minecraft Movielooks like a fun adventure film about Gary, Steve, and the other characters fighting off monsters from the Nether, but it doesn’t strike me as a movie that will win over a lot of critics.
I actually thinkA Minecraft Moviewill receive a similar reception asThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, which came out in 2023.The Super Mario Bros. Moviewas a huge box office success and was loved by most audiences, but was frowned upon by a lot of critics.The Super Mario Bros. Moviehas a “Rotten” score of 59% on Rotten Tomatoes (viaRotten Tomatoes). Therefore, ifA Minecraft Movieis received in a similar fashion, it will also likely end up with a Rotten score.
Jason Momoa Is In The Midst Of His 2nd Longest Rotten Streak On Rotten Tomatoes
Momoa’s Recent Movies Haven’t Been Liked By Critics
IfA Minecraft Moviedoes receive a Rotten score, it will continue the second-worst streak of Momoa’s career. His last four movies, these beingAquaman and the Lost Kingdom,Fast X,The Last Manhunt, andSlumberland, all have Rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Therefore,ifA Minecraft Movieis received by critics as I think it will be, it would be Momoa’s fifth Rotten movie in a row.

In terms of movies, Momoa hasn’t been able to win over critics on many occasions. Some of his films, such as Denis Villeneuve’s firstDunemovie andBraven, have been well-received. However, the majority of his movies have Rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Momoa is a very entertaining and charismatic actor, soit would be disappointing ifA Minecraft Moviecontinues his current streak. But based on all the trailers for the film, I unfortunately don’t have a lot of faith inA Minecraft Movie.
Jason Momoa’s Worst Rotten Tomatoes Streak Ended In 2018
A Lot Of Momoa’s Movies Have Rotten Scores
On the bright side, this isn’t the worst streak of Momoa’s career. Therefore, the actor still has time to turn things around. The worst streak of Momoa’s career actually began in 2011, not long after he received immense acclaim for portraying Khal Drogo inGame of Thronesseason 1. This streak began with 2011’s Conan the Barbarian and ended with 2017’s Justice League.During this time, Momoa shockingly didn’t star in one movie that received a Fresh ratingon Rotten Tomatoes.

During this streak, Momoa starred in eight movies that have Rotten scores on the review aggregator website. Even though he turned things around withBravenand the firstAquamanmovie, Momoa’s career is trending downwards again. Hopefully some of Momoa’s upcoming movies will be received better than his last four. In the next few years, Momoa will appear inFast & Furious 11,Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and several non-franchise movies. Therefore, afterA Minecraft Movie, I hope some of Momoa’s movies get higher ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
