The physical characteristics of the actors hired isn't why it's going to be dogshit.
The fact they couldn't even scrape together a mediocre trailer (which there are huge organizations DEDICATED to the art of pumping out trailers) is a sign it's going to suck.
They also completely fucked up by not getting this crapshow out before Furiosa even though it was filmed 3 years ago is a sign it's going to suck.
The writer (Craig Mazin who got awards for The Last of Us the TV show) HAD HIS NAME REMOVED FROM THIS MOVIE is a sign it's going to suck.
The fact they are trying to "adapt" the games at all, instead of just do what Tales from the Borderlands did.. and just do their own wacky adventure on a wasteland planet that is said to hold ancient alien treasures along with more recent human treasures from all the failed attempts to get the alien treasures, combined with the magical resurrection technology that eventually brings everyone back to life (maybe minus a few brain cells or a few dollars or maybe too late) can BE a fun premise for a movie.
https://youtu.be/WDlBirYlyAg?si=38bMGBqNpnhEgiZ3 tales from the borderlands works better, and the needledrops in the games were more interesting than the Movie trailer.. which also weirdly has a LOT of overlap with the 1 minute clip from IGN.
The thing is, always expect franchises and adaptations to be shit.
The only reason to ever be interested is if they accidentally give control to people with interesting ideas like Bakemonatagi anime series being given to a director who hates conventional angles or doing anything straightforward, or Greta Gerwig doing Barbie (but also it's still inside of a system that doesn't want interesting things)
this movie was cooked from the start, the director Eli Roth was Work for Hire and managed to shoot and release another movie in between the filming and release of this.
The whole movie exists because of Sunk Costs, Borderlands 3 wasn't really a big hit but things had been bouncing around.. and likely that Embracer group money was what was needed to push the movie from maybe to Sure. but then you know.. Embracer group went poof
Wasn't the live action One piece pretty good though?
I watched it and the lack of budget really shows. Stuff like adult Luffy having a slight accent (putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables or words in a sentence) while child actor Luffy doesn't. The hair dye looks pretty bad. Instead of fighting Buggy and his whole crew in Orange Town, the straw hats beat the crew off-screen and fight Buggy solo, with the only locations used being a small circus tent or the backroom of said small circus tent. Instead of fighting Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates on the beach to keep them from getting to Syrup Town, they fight Kuro and two other servants (who were apparently also undercover and working with him the whole time though this is never mentioned) in Kaya's mansion. Instead of fighting Don Krieg, because that would involve a large group and Baratie being damaged, Mihawk kills them all in the Grand Line so there's a small scuffle between Arlong's crew and the straw hats instead. Instead of fighting Hachi or the seacow, because those would have to be full CG, they have Sanji and Zolo just fight some random fishmen mooks, one of whom knows fishman karate. In order to re-use the sets they have (which are, in fairness, mostly very nice), they have Garp follow behind Luffy and talk to people in the same places.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Also the Charlie Sheen bit is from Hot Shots Part Deux.
