It'll be fine for whoever hasn't played through the games but kinda seems like they hacked up the source material and shat into its dying carcass.
Kevin Hart is playing Roland who's 5'11". Lilith is 22 being played by Cate Blanchette who's in her 50's. I guess Jamie Lee Curtis fits the aesthetic of Tannis but in the trailer doesn't exhibit the same mannerisms. And then claptrap is voiced by Jack Black but has a filter on to sound more like the goober anyways. Maybe it's the in me but I'm really thinking this is gonna suck. Like they could've gotten Terry Crews for Roland, Brandon Rogers for claptrap(just someone a little unhinged and funny as hell) , some youngish, mildly attractive white chick for Lilith, I guess krieg is fine just needs to be slightly slimmer, I guess the tiny tina is ok too but there's not enough energy imo. And the rest of the cast might work but there's nothing about them in the trailer. And it feels like they just used the characters like dolls for a script they came up with set in that universe. Like why not expand upon the lore either before we meet them on the bus, or in between 1 and 2 similar to the presequel, or between 2 and 3 (I never played the tell tale games...
) or just really anything else. They could've followed other wacky vault hunters on other planets and could've had them interact with the main cast of 1 2 and 3, depending on when they wanted to set the story. Idk it just seems like a lack of creativity in all departments involved in the making of the movie. I might pirate it tho just to see how bad it really is.
It's just slop but it always happens to the Vidya Game movies. what're y'all's take on it? Am I just
I never liked Borderlands, it's why I call it Bored-erlands
I like the concept of it though, but I could never get into it.
1st becomes a slog after sledge I feel like, 2nd is fantastic imo but not yet fully realized due to when it came out, the 3rd is good but does seem to be written poorly in spots and some characters as well, but the gameplay is the best imo with being able to parkour a lil and slide, and again I haven't played any tell tale game let alone when they wore BL's skin, so can't comment on that either. Presequel was eh, to me atleast so if you do ever wanna dip your toes in and try again, skip this one until you want to play it through for the story.
I will say grinding for guns and equipment isn't that fun (I don't really grind for weapons though, mainly side quests and eridium) so hopefully they fix that in 4. But if it's not your jam maybe Tiny Tina's wonderland would be more your speed, but then again they make a lot of in jokes using previous va's and I'm sure there's more but I've hardly played that one, only played it at some ex 'friends' place.
Maybe get a few people to play through it all, it is centered around playing with others after all. No rush though. I will say the commentary on capitalism through the interplanetary corporate wars and it's resulting fallout is![chefs-kiss chefs-kiss](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/82365864-94da-46a6-acf9-c38da1519c3d.png)
