The casting is absolutely terrible
What do you mean?! Look at all the money they spent on casting! So many names!
What you wanted the cast to be relevant to the character? Bah. That’s as useful as the plot matching the source material. Look at how great Halo is.
I already hate it. It looks like every decision they made was intended to make the movie bad.
Jamie Lee Curtis cleavage surprisingly good though, solid costuming there.
Jack Black sound like he was giving it his all… For a robot.
Everyone else sounded bored and like they didn’t want to be there.
So exactly like the game then.
I have no familiarity with the games so I’m clueless but…
This looks completely terrible.
I am very familiar. It makes it even worse.
Tiny Tina not having Ash’s voice just feels so wrong.
Eli Roth wrote and directed this, so it was never going to be anything but schlock. Looks surprisingly OK in my opinion, honestly. My biggest issue is no Brick - get a Dave Bautista type and the movie instantly gets better. Kevin Hart seems fine as Roland (also surprising!). Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee look perfect, and like they’re having fun, which is a good sign.
Borderlands was never a high quality story franchise - BL1 had the most generic “go get the treasure” plot with a shit ending, but was saved by the memorable side characters and funny dialogue. Handsome Jack was a good villain, but replay BL2 a few times and you’ll see the holes in the story. Don’t get me started on the third game.
Hoping this isn’t all fart jokes. I think the tone of this trailer combined with some good Eli Roth splatter would actually be an OK flick. If it’s PG-13, it’s over though.
Handsome Jack isn’t even in the movie. WTF
We get Okay Jack from Wish
I only started this franchise literally 4 days ago because BL3 was on sale so I’m not an Uber fan, but this looks fun 🤷🏻♂️
