It definitely had the opportunity to suck, but thankfully was attached to creators that had a rich love not only of Lego, but of Lego stop motion animation.
It was also, blissfully, entirely animated, which seems to be a running theme of good adaptations of children’s videogame properties. Live action tends to end up bad.
I remember how much people were insisting a Lego movie would surely suck

Pedantic point. Not entirely animated.
The Lego Movie was done correctly. The Minecraft movie looks to be a dumpster fire of horrible, rushed CGI.
The actual CGI looked fine, its just the art style and general vibe that was bad IMO
you could tell from watching the trailer that its probably going to be a ton of cringey stuff mostly aimed at 8 year olds
Yeah but that was before Warner Brothers started writing off movies just for the sexual thrill of it
People (who knew about it) were generally excited I think before they released the teaser
I’m pretty sure they announced they were making the movie like 3-4 years ago or something
