Kevin Hart playing Roland is odd casting.

It's funny to release this now because Borderlands has never been colder as a franchise. Even the initial release date of 2022 would have been poor timing for it, dropping 2018 or 2019 in the lead up to Borderlands 3 would have been when the series was at its hottest even though Borderlands 3 was pretty mediocre story wise.
A mix & match of characters from 1 & 2, obviously going to have too much Claptrap who is designed to be obnoxious.

Apparently it's an original story which has me even less excited and something about the casting just bothers me

Apparently it's an original story which has me even less excited and something about the casting just bothers me Randy has said it sits besides the games so this is basically an alternate universe. Which gives him an easy door to bring back a whole heap of characters he killed in the games including the most beloved series villan.

That and Arianna as Tina and Knox may not be the same Knox as the game

I honestly just can’t get over how everyone looks like they are themselves just cosplaying the characters instead of like looking like they are naturally the characters. Especially Kevin Hart and his hilariously padded shirt.

One of these days they are just going to make "Cate Blanchett Being Pretty: The Movie."

Latest trailer! What do we think, FANs? Or maybe that was a dumb question. Also, Insomnia Cookies is doing some sort of partnership with the movie. So at least there will be cookies for you to enjoy even if you don't enjoy pooping robots and Cate Blanchett being pretty.

And we're sure that anyone who had anything to do with the Borderland games was involved with this movie? Because that trailer feels like a very Hollywood adapting a license and having no clue why it worked vibe. Krieg is probably going to become tiresome quickly. It looks like Tiny Tina has a chosen one arc and comes off like some stupid kid. Tiny Tina is a great NPC, she's best as a supporting cast member. Similar to claptrap, Tiny Tina works best in smaller doses. Kevin Hart is still ridiculous casting. I would also say that Cate Blanchett playing Lilith is still weird and almost as weird of a choice as Kevin Hart playing Roland. This trailer did nothing to assuage my concerns. Most of the characters still look like cosplayers cosplaying as the Borderlands cast. I figure at best it will be a popcorn movie with a Michael Bay level of explosions that requires minimal brain power to watch.
Edit: one saving grace is that they don't seem to have the twat who got Maya killed. Ava. Had to look that up.

I will admit that I haven't played the games, but I kind of want to see this. I have read that there are some differences in the characters in the film and in the games. I may play the games at some point, though.

So I know nothing about this game, never played it, nor what its fandom would want or expect from a movie based on it. But it's trailer played before Deadpool & Wolverine and I thought, well, it kinda looked like it's gonna suck. Am I the only one feeling that? But the whole thing looked like a Dollar Store Guardians of the Galaxy.

I see a few saying they have never played the games.
To yall I say do not play the games before watching this just so you have a no expectations that I see alot of the fandom had for this due to being diehards of the game.
But also this has been said and also it was fairly obvious to those of us that have played the games such as myself that this is not a direct 1 for 1 of any of the games...Randy Pitchford himself said this is more an alternate universe version which is why I am not so hard on this as others are and am gonna just take this as just an alternate take good or bad.

If you’re at all familiar with the games, then PG-13 isn’t really what I’d describe the tone of the series

I've got no issues with them doing a different take on the story. It's a different medium and as a comic fan I'm used to movie versions being different. This still looks likely to be lame.

Admittedly the trailers are not helping this movie but also maybe this ends up being something that ends up with very strong word of mouth after it releases. What gives me the biggest issue is this being PG13 and that is what basically takes the bite out of this movie it likely could have had.
