Funny or 'anti-social'? Minecraft Movie director reacts to audience response

Based on one of the world's best-selling video games, the film tells the story of four misfits pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld - the place where all players start in Minecraft. Despite underwhelming critics' reviews, the film, which boasts a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Jack Black and Jennifer Coolidge, exceeded expectations by making 300m ( 233m) globally at the box office on its opening weekend. In the film, Momoa's character Garrett Garrison has to battle a baby zombie riding a chicken on the way to finding the orb that can take him back to the real world. Hess and Black thought it would be funny if Black's character Steve announced everything that happens to him intensely, hence the "Chicken jockey!" meme taking off. "Jack says it with such passion," said Hess. "Everything that comes out of his mouth in the film is spoken with such authority and seriousness, like this is the most important thing anybody has ever heard in their life.
