I can't speak too much to the accuracy,as I was a casual player of this series,but I will say I was kind of excited for this. Then I hear Kevin hart is in it and I'm instantly passing. He's hasn't been funny for years,and is most definitely not Roland,not to mention cate blanchett is too old looking(at least) to be lillith,and this feels like a guardians trailer rather than its own movie. At this point I'll wait till it hits tubi before I give it a chance. Just an old mans take.
Looks bad. None of it seemed even a little interesting.
I think it will flop, other than that, i like most of the costumes. Other than that I don't have an opinion, since I don't know how the story was adapted.
Honestly? I really don’t get the hate that all these comments are generating. I don’t think we’ve seen enough of the dialogue from the characters to know what the casted actors are going to do with them.
I personally think it might be a bit refreshing, like a reboot. All of us lost faith in the Borderlands story at the Presequel I think. I think this plays into the wacky and wild elements of BL2 (indisputably the favourite in the whole series, wouldn’t you agree?), rather than the unfunny stuff of 3, don’t you think?
I’m not saying that off the bat it’s going to be amazing. I’m saying that I think it’s worth a shot, it’s worth waiting until we see it before we shit on it- I don’t think this trailer makes it look like trash. It has potential. Don’t you think, guys?
It definitely has potential. People gotta remember that when they reach for castings like Kevin Hart as Roland; these are professional actors. If they want something a bit different from that person, they can probably achieve it.
I think we'll be pleasantly surprised, so long as you keep an open mind that it's not supposed to be a beat for beat recreation of the games.
It looks too be a lot of 'meh' to me. I honestly don't think the game's story will translate well into any other medium and certainly the humor that makes the original BL games isn't what I would call mainstream so that will just get watered down to nothing. Plus the casting looks off.
Pandering bullshit.
Jack Black might be the only one who's well cast for the flick, but everything else seems wrong.
Loved the first three games (BL1, PS, BL2), hated the 3rd. Tiny Tina's Adventure was OK, but had many bugs/issues that ground me down and it was the first one I didn't even attempt a second character on (I couldn't tell you which at this point).
I didn't even make it all the way through the trailer. Hard pass from me (as will be BL4 as Gearbox/Take Two get shittier and shittier).
I haven't felt like this after watching a trailer since I saw the one for the Dark Tower movie.
Who the hell is the random psycho just chilling with the main characters? Did they just add the dude from the game covers to the main cast like he's actually a character?
