An accent like that would take me out if it.

Maybe.

Would likely be better than Hart.

Wish I could go back and play Borderlands 1 & 2 again for the first time while stoned. What a glorious time

Exactly.

Tina is not “normal” by any definition.



Best of Tiny Tina

I don’t see that in the trailer.

Maybe Elba as Roland?

I could definitely get behind that.

Moxxi and Tannis need to be recast too.

Make Blanchett play Tannis instead of Lilith. She would be a far better Tannis.

Eva Green should play Moxxi.

High hopes before watching that trailer

What a letdown. Crap casting. Definite Warcraft vibes, no longer gonna watch it in theater. 100% free stream at at some point after it comes to video.

If it is, it is just more evidence that they didn’t actually play the game.

The writers have no idea about the characters.

As a huge fan of the games, I have to say this looks like complete garbage. Everything is wrong about it. What else would you expect from Eli Roth though.

One thing that I didn’t think about until now, but Roland and Lilith have a relationship.

Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart…

Unfortunate, I was really looking forward to this movie.

The casting is terrible. Clearly no one even tried to match the actors and actresses to the video game characters. If it's that obvious in the trailer, I don't image this being very good at all.

Kevin Hart just seems the most out of place, besides the Lilith casting being close to 30 years older than the game version.....Claptrap was probably my favorite character from the games. I'm not sure if Jack Black can do him justice.

I thought trailers were designed to make a person want to see the movie.

I had an epiphany I think during the Super Bowl after watching the 87th Draftkings ad that I'm done with Kevin Hart. I'm tired of hearing him scream and not be funny. Every movie he is in is borderline unwatchable and just consists of him ad-libbing loud nothingness. So ya, I'm out.

This won't win Best Casting at the Oscars.

God, I hope not. Always thought Glen Howerton (IASIP) would make a great Handsome Jack.

Does Kevin Hart have to be in every movie?

It looks like that the guy who is playing that character was cast to play Rhys.
