Borderlands Live Action Movie

This looks like a fan film lmao. Terrible casting all around. Why is half of the cast pensioners?

Lilith in the games is 20-30’s, Cate Blanchett is mid 50’s…

Tannis is no older than 30 something, Jamie Lee Curtis is mid 60’s…

Roland is… the complete opposite of Kevin Hart in every way shape and form.

You're just finding out today who the cast is? They filmed this year's ago and had massive delays with reshoots since.

They've clearly changed the characters and have been able to cast good actors, rather than get a bunch of D list actors.

I'm interested to see how the film turned out.

I was aware, but seeing it is even worse.

They could have cast good actors that fit the characters.

Surprise, it looks awful. Eli Roth trying to be Diet-James Gunn.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a lot of fun?

Expected the trailer to be hot garbage, was surprisingly entertained by it, and waded into the comments only to find that everyone was bashing it.

It’s trying to imitate Guardians of the Galaxy so hard and it’s not even subtle.

Trailer confirms the casting is awful imo. Krieg is the only good one cause he looks huge and doesn’t talk.

Jokes are terrible.

Tiny Tina is supposed to be bat **** crazy but she just feels like a sassy kid.

At least it looks more fun than Duuuuunnnnne.

I've never played the games but I thought the trailer was really fun.

Definitely stole a lot from the James Gunn playbook.

Yep, they did her dirty. She's supposed to be twitchy and kooky, not passive and moody.

I'm fine with it. Always found her character annoying in the games. Cringey like most of the writing in the series. Especially the later entries.

If you don’t like cringe then I’m not sure how you liked this trailer

The humor of the games was admittedly a product of its time, very early 2010s. We've gotten a lot more ironic and bitter in the 2020s.

It's a bummer if you ask me.

Eh, I don't see that. It's just that "random" humor has gone out of style. Comedy changes. I'm sure it will come back around. Most writing in Borderlands 3 seemed like it was coming from 40+ year olds trying to emulate internet teens.

God, Borderlands 3 was painful. Couldn’t even stand to finish it.

Yeah, 3 was pretty bad. That's where I hopped off.

I think it looks fun too. If it takes after GoTG I am fine with that because I love those films.
