The Borderlands movie tried to split the difference between a PG-13 rating and original story appealing to a more general audience. But they were not interested

The second I saw Kevin Hart, I was done. I’m just not a fan.
I’m at least happy it wasn’t the rock
He would be a better Roland than Kevin
Man, no. They cut out Brick and Mordecai! The Rock was born to play Brick! You mostly just yell angrily and be big!
I just can’t stand him
No fuck that cunt.
I don’t know how people running these projects aren’t ever fired. It’s an endless dance of lemons.
Wait till you hear how much of hollywood runs on nepotism and backroom favors. There are shit directors pumping out tons of movies and living the high life because they have a list of kids their co-workers have abused.
Which is very unfortunate. It’s not too disimilar from CEOs that jump from company to company with the intent of tanking the place, getting their paycheck and then rinse and repeating.
They shouldn’t wait for 10+ years to do a movie based on a game.
and maybe don’t butcher every shot of the movie thats based on a franchise known for somewhat krass humour and mowing through countless hordes of enemies by trying to make it pg-13.
Imagine a pg13 GTA movie.
I’d love to see Disney/Pixar do a PG Manhunt movie.
It’s not even timing issue, they can’t even tell the story faithfully or have accurate detail. Reading the plot makes me scratch my head. Why is Tina’s parent someone from Atlas? Why is Krieg even here? Where’s Mordecai and Brick? It’s a horrible fanfic, that’s why it failed.
Yeah, they seem to put their worst people in charge of these projects. Set up to fail.
No excuse for this bullshit. They blantantly did everything THEY wanted, not what the FANS wanted. Awful cast, awful character portrayels, sterile corporate “rehash” of the story. This ain’t it chief. Shame on pritchford for giving this abomination the green light; not surprised he did, though. This is unacceptable, not when we have FALLOUT and LAST OF US kicking as much ass as they are. Fuck you Eli.
So while it’s unlikely based on those box office numbers, has anybody actually seen this thing?
A friend of mine who hasn’t played Borderlands went to see it. According to him, it’s not even “so bad it’s good,” it’s just flat and boring.
I saw someone say it’s not the worst movie they’ve ever seen, it’s average to kinda good…
That being said, it seemed as though they wanted to like it, which kinda cemented to me that it’s actually that bad 😂
I did, lol. From the trailers it looked so bad it could be good, you know in that awful cheesy way that some movies are. In the end it wasn’t that bad. If you strip away the borderlands wrapper it was a decent comedy sci-fi film. Not gonna win any awards but solid 5/10. Really this should’ve just done it’s own thing, to me it just looked like an excuse for the actors to make money and cosplay XD.
so… no one’s buying a thing that no one asked for? odd…
At the point where the actual game devs can’t make a decent sequel, how did they think a movie was ever going to work?
I have my gripes about the franchise from the first game onwards.
Minor other thing… Why make a pg-13 movie of an M (or pegi 18) rated game series? Even the telltale games version isn’t ‘kid friendly’.
Maybe I’m living under a rock, but I never heard of it, nor saw anyone even discussing it postively or negatively. That’s usually a bad sign, lol.
If they wanted to make this movie a success they should have had ONE PERSON from the writing, directing and (most importantly) casting team sit down and play the games.
And funny fucking Deadpool is kicking its ass with an R rated movie. When these assholes going to learn. Mostly adults go to movies and we are fucking adults we don’t want pg13 bullshit. If I am going go to a 30 dollar movie better be damn good. Save your piss ass movies for direct to streaming. I’m sure Netflix or someone would of gave them 10 million for exclusive rights. That made them extra 2 million not counting all the marketing and cost of distribution.
$30?!?
Yeah at least for two people.
There are many people with kids who might be greatful for a decent pg13 movie. But this is not it. Also I think you’re right that they didn’t assess the target group correctly.
Damn right! They should have let Snyder direct it. He would’ve made all the dudes all hot, and buff, and sexy. And lots of slo-mo shots of their asses. And none of that Woke Pussy shit. I’ll be in my bunk.
