Ahead of its long-delayed American premiere, an unfinished 'workprint' copy of "A Minecraft Movie" is circulating on pirate sites. Warner Bros. is trying to contain this and other leaks, but that may prove difficult. The incident mirrors the infamous 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine workprint leak and the involvement of the FBI, which led to the arrest and conviction of an uploader. The source of that leak was never publicly disclosed.

Coincidentally both movies are crap too

Seriously, I watched the leaked workprint. It's really, really bad. Bad script, bad acting, bad styling, just bad bad bad. First time I've legitimately seen Jack Black phone it in.

Mind sending me a download link?

I personally found it on soulseek, most trackers are avoiding it because pre-release brings extra heat.

Thanks, found it on there. If anyone wants to find it just search the title of the movie and download one of the "worse" files.

Is the final one available anywhere?

My understanding is that this is not terrible, only bad then? In top ten new movies this year?

No, even being a kids movie couldn't save this pile of crap. Even the crappiest kids movies have some heart. Like Dogman was legitimately fucking stupid, but it had heart to it, I cared about the characters despite how stupid it all was. A Minecraft Movie fails in every measure to have characters you care about at all. I feel nothing for these idiotic jabronis breezing through the film, the writing and acting is legitimately that bad.
