I really hope I am proved wrong, but this looks like another Video Game to Movie flop.
Never having played Borderlands… is the game actually this unapologetically stupid? I chuckled at a few bits in the trailer, but I felt bad for doing it.
The humor in the games is definitely “stupid” but not as cringe as this movie looks.
No, it’s exactly as cringe as this movie looks. There’s a horse called Butt-Stallion in the games.
Yeah but in context it’s actually pretty hilarious. Handsome Jack’s monologues made borderlands 2 for me. Such a great villain.
It is definitely a stupid game, but this feels a lot like it fan fiction written by someone’s nephew.
Implying bl3 wasn’t already exactly this lol
Lmao you bastard
Yes. Humour is dumb. Some jokes work, some jokes don’t. Not everyone agrees on which ones are funny.
Borderlands 1 is stupid and fun, Borderlands 2 is stupid and fun with more flamboyant characters, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel is like Borderlands 2 but Australian and shorter, Borderlands 3 is too stupid and annoying to be much fun with a shitload of influence humor in it.
I will gladly recommend playing B1 and B2, and if you want more B2 get TPS.
B3 is just annoying.
B2 is my favourite in the series
2 also has the best
villianhero of any game ever, Handsome Jack.
Looks like it’ll be a fun popcorn movie. Not expecting it to be faithful to the source material.
Just counting my lucky stars they didn’t cast The Rock as Kreig.
I’ll watch it, but as a borderlands fan I’m expecting trash
Same. I can’t imagine it being anything other than off-brand Mad Max, though
I have been equally pessimistic and excited about this dumpster fire from the earliest rumors. I think this movie will be bad, and won’t be any less fun for it. as long as they answer one question best asked by mister torgue flexington: explosions?
DID I HEAR SOMEONE ASK #$@!NG EXPLOSIONS?!? THAT IS THE ANSWER. THE QUESTION IS ¥π&@ING WHEN?!?*
oh if they have someone playing Torgue I’ll watch it with mouth agape. I don’t know who could pull it off though.
Who would they even get to play Torgue? Like honestly? Because from the main casting choices, it would probably be someone like Kyle Gass or Michael Cera.
Couldn’t have picked a worse game to try and make a movie out of. From the looks of it, they aren’t trying very hard either.
I’d watch it.
I absolutely love the game. I’m going to watch this movie with very low expectations and I think I’ll be happy.
Weird casting, none of them make sense except Jack Black.
Not a single human in existence looks like the characters in Borderlands. This whole thing is silly, Borderlands isn’t a masterpiece of story and character development
Even Jack Black as claptrap is just really bizarre casting. I will definitely not get over kevin hart’s casting though. They hired a short comedian to play the role of the serious military guy character.
Hart’s been apparently trying to shake off the comedian persona.
Then he should stop being in comedies.
And start being a good actor.
Is it bad that I’m scared/worried to watch the trailer based on the comments I’m this thread alone?
As a fan of the games, and having watched the trailer: no.
I watched it. I wish I hadn’t. But now I definitely know I’m not going to watch this until it hits a streaming service that I’m subbed to. Maybe.
I’m not even all that familiar with the games, but the casting seems really off.
So, this is what a 2 year delay worth of studio interference, poor audience testing, and aimlessly hopeful reshoots gets us. The only thing surprising is that it’s not a WB product about to be shelved.
That was a lot of explosions.
That, at least, is on-brand for Borderlands.
The lack of overly vulgar dialogue in the trailer really solidified my lack of expectations. Not that I really need that level of vulgarity to enjoy a movie but I mean, is it really borderland without it?
I mean isn’t it basically a really violent PG-13 movie? Like the most they say is shit or asshole, and Mr. Torgue literally has a censor surgically installed into him so he can’t say fuck.
It really looks like they wanted this made in the vein of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I guess if you start with Borderlands and try to come up with an existing movie property that’s in the same ballpark, that kinda seems like a reasonable target?
Problem is, none of the actors look like they are having fun. I think this is going to land somewhere between the Suicide Squads, and not closer to the one you’d want it to.
I don’t understand anyone who would choose to watch this instead of playing borderlands, given they’re a fan of the game. Who is this for?
