Weird casting, none of them make sense except Jack Black.

I'll watch it, but as a borderlands fan I'm expecting trash

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.

The entire cast seems off. And how is cage the elephant not the theme still?

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?

FFS this looks like the worst casting job ever. Each actor is good but completely wrong for the role with the exception, maybe, of Jack Black. This looks like the studio is fishing for a tax write off by making a bomb.

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.

This is what happens when someone who has never played Borderlands derives their script from watching teen streamers playing the game. Expectedly awful.

Cate Blanchett for Lilith, but no lines spoken to showcase her personality. Tina except she's a Zoomer girl boss that occasionally lapses into the actual Tina in the most superficial ways, Roland but comedy, and the psycho as a main character when you have gunzerker and commando.

This just feels like another quick cash in on an IP that they believed they could turn into pulp action content.

It stinks!

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 absolutely love the game. I'm going to watch this movie with very low expectations and I think I'll be happy.

Is it bad that I'm scared/worried to watch the trailer based on the comments I'm this thread alone?

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.

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.

This will be one of the movies of All Time

I'm not even all that familiar with the games, but the casting seems really off.

I really hope I am proved wrong, but this looks like another Video Game to Movie flop.

I mean it doesn't look like citizen kane but it also doesn't look that bad? A lot of people in the comments here seem to think that Borderlands has some Baldur's Gate level story to explore when it really is just a bunch of assholes doing assholish things for video game reasons. I say this as a massive bl2 fan that has always been willing to point out and accept every shortcoming that every game has had so far.

I'd watch it.

That was a lot of explosions.

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?
