I’ve got hundreds of hours across all of the games. Played every single one to almost 100%.
Honestly, I think I might enjoy watching this movie. I’m definitely not going to pay money to watch it in theaters, but I only watch maybe 3-6 movies a year that way. I’ll easily be entertained for a couple hours watching this when I can inevitably stream it for free or pay like $3 off redbox.
This movie seems like it’s getting an absolute ton of hate, but doesn’t really look that terrible. It’s a silly movie based on a silly game series that sets itself apart by being extremely silly. The fuck do people expect?
Randy Pitchford is a piece of shit and forced out the original Claptrap VA. Jack Black is great and I really respect him because he likes games, seems to treat fans well, and seems to care about the communities he participates in. He should not be voicing Claptrap just like Chris Pratt shouldn’t have been the voice of Mario (aside from Chris Pratt also being a piece of shit which I don’t think Jack Black is).
It just felt weird and off the whole time. Maybe I’m conditioned to be sick of the quips we saw in the preview because of the flood of super hero movies we’ve had. Maybe if I went back and replayed Borderlands I’d respond the same way. It wasn’t violent enough, it didn’t have enough explosions and bullets, the characters weren’t the models and that was jarring. It’s not cell-shaded. I got so fucking annoyed at the trite “it’s in my mouth” scene that I just don’t have a good feeling.
I’m hoping it will be a fun, mindless action movie. I’m reserving judgement other than Randy Pitchford being a piece of shit until it actually comes out.
His commentary about why they had to nuke all the fun shit in BL3 is equally piece of shit of material. I don’t want to dig through his Twitter to find stuff. Shit was wild. I dislike a bunch of folks in the gaming industry for poor decisions. Randy’s one of very few I will always go out of my way to highlight how much of a piece of shit he is.
People weren’t playing the game Gearbox wanted them to play the game so there were constant nerfs that fucked up everything in the meta.
This looks like a decent video about it; I have not watched it all the way it’s really good and covers all the junk that drove me away from BL3 as well as stuff from Wonderlands I didn’t know about.
I read the cast and decided that’s all I needed to know that the movie would be bad. Why use the characters if you’re not even going to get actors that fit the roles? They could have just used news characters set in the same universe.
Which would have fit just fine based on every game having new characters in addition to old ones showing up as cameos. Heck they could have named the movie borderlands 4 and have it be part of the main game continuity. It would have been right in line with how insane borderlands is. Kinda like how the nightmare before Christmas game and matrix game are part of the movie continuity.
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.
Seen Kevin Hart and immediately checked out. Name his last good movie/stand-up? I know Jack Black will try and hold it together but their is only so much one person can do.
60 year old Tannis, 5’2" Roland, I don’t really care. I’ve never seen Kevin Hart do a serious role—maybe he’s an Adam Sandler at it. Honestly, I can dig almost everything about this, under the paradigm of it being an alternate reality. Everything except Cate Blanchett as Lilith. If they’d aged up the character like they did Tannis, that’d be fine. If they’d gotten anyone else to play her, that’d be fine. But Cate Blanchett just has uncanny valley vibes playing this character.
Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere, the best way to summarize my thoughts on the trailer is: “It looks like a Borderlands porn parody, but without the porn.”
Looks pretty awful to me. Wild casting choices. I like Jack Black but he doesn’t read right as Claptrap to me at all. Roland is a gruff tough guy, not whatever Hart is going to do here. And Tina here comes off as a scared child instead of the absolute firebrand she ought to be.
They had some weird moments where Tina reverted back to a flanderized version of herself depicted from the POV of someone who doesn’t understand nuance in character, then she was just the typical pissed off modern Hollywood teen archetype.
Claptrap should just be the BL2 VA if possible, no need to keep casting screen actors in VA roles.
Eddings, I think was his name, had a falling out with Gearbox so there's no way he would be cast as the voice. I missed him as claptrap in the games he's not.
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).
Eh. Seems alright. Definitely not going to a cinema to see it. Gearbox milked the franchise to death, I really only liked Borderlands 2. Looks like Krieg is in this, which isn’t canonical. But fun. He also says nothing in the trailer?
My hate for what they did with tiny tina is unmeasurable. The character does not work when she is not a child. If they had put an actual child actor in their shoes and THEN made them blow up a lot of people, with gore, that would be the level tina is at. Like, if Borderlands had realistic graphics, it would be as PG 18 as Doom (2016) +. For understandable reasons. She is a traumatised child that got ate up by pandora and lived. On a revenge quest. All other characters +1 or +2 Tina gets a -20.
Not hating on the actor, lots of things can go wrong for the “magic” to not happen, most aren’t on them.
I actually don’t care for the prequel or BL1 backstory part. I’m not hooked by the premise.
Expectation is “mid”. If an opportunity to watch it falls right into my lap I might, but realistically I will probably forget it exists when the ad campaign is through.
