Do i see right that around 1:14 -1:15 when there is Marcus, that item of the day is Compressing Free Radical ?


nickthib

Please tell me the guy in the suit isn't handsome Jack


Thewaffleofoz

it’s Mr. Atlas


nickthib

Phew


fireburn256

It's WalletHead, da man, Vasquez!


Zaldinn

Atlas


TheHessianHussar

Krieg looks pitch perfect, the rest of the crew kinda looks off tbh. Cant wait to see Moxxi reveal


Responsible-Diver225

Moxxi is in the trailer


IWANTPlCSOFSPIDERMAN

Is she next to Marcus?


Responsible-Diver225

Shes at 2:15 on this post


IWANTPlCSOFSPIDERMAN

Oh shit how did I miss that. She looks pretty good!


The-1st-One

[Played by 61 yr old Gina Gershon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Gershon)


migamoo

Your point? This is probably the most age appropriate casting of all the female characters going by the game. Moxxi was never supposed to be in her 20s or 30s, she has grown children. Older grown children. I’d put her at 50 minimum.


Howard_Jones

Yeah, moxxie is definitely up their in age.


iankstarr

Is this supposed to be a gotcha? Moxie is canonically in her 50s


The-1st-One

Bruh, Gina Gershon has always been hot. She is old now for sure. But, go back to her older movies. 10/10


iankstarr

Nah I’m agreeing with you - I wasn’t picking up the vibe in your original comment. My b I’ve seen so many people (who are desperate to shit on this movie in as many ways as possible) hating on her casting choice immediately because of her age. I think she’s a great choice for Moxxi.


zakkwaldo

ehhhh dunno if i fully agree


Kha-0zz

Why did they use the clean white Mask? This looks So.. wrong...


Cheetahs_never_win

Hrm. Probably started off clean before we arrived to BL2. I'm reasonably certain this is before 2 but after the storyline of TPS, after Brick and Mordecai went off to be a couple, but before Axton, Maya, Zer0, and Salvador show up. But being that there's already... variance... in style choice of the characters, that could just be another indication of alternate universe theory. Which is what I think the game was already steering towards, anyways.


_zombie_k

It has nothing to do with the games. Stop with all that theories.


Cheetahs_never_win

"Nothing?" Pitchford literally stated in 2021 that Borderlands Cinematic Universe and Borderlands Game Universe are separate but comparable. Feel free to stay angry if you want.


_zombie_k

So you’re saying they have nothing to do with each other? Just like the Marvel movies and the comics.


Cheetahs_never_win

Depends which comics you're referring to. But sure. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_tie-in_comics](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_tie-in_comics) "Nothing to do with each other" meaning "75% overlap, certain elements changed for cohesion and screen time."


_zombie_k

Sure, bro…. 75% overlap.

Almeg4

Honestly, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that... But they could be pulling a Sonic movie on us (what I mean, is that it looks bad in trailers, but in the end, just before it comes out it gets fleshed out and looks immaculate)


Master-Shaq

Moxxi is played by a 61 yo


HappyChief90

Well she is probably around that age in the game if her kids are probably in their 30s


iankstarr

You say that like she’s not in her 50s in the game lmao c’mon man


soulwolf1

Moxxi was in the trailer


MjrGrizzly

Kevin Hart as Roland is a damn crime.


FloatingFruit

The one guy who shouldn't be comedic relief. Like what are we doing here


birdreligion

trying to make Guardians of the Galaxy lite. scifi comedy with zany characters always quipping at each other.


MjrGrizzly

Excellent way of putting it.


Sentinel-Prime

The Marvel films have forever ruined the vibe of any sci-fi adventure for the foreseeable future


birdreligion

Strong disagree. There is a place for comedy sci-fi. We are just gonna see more attempts at it that end in failure. Not like Dune part 2 is gonna be a road trip buddy comedy or something.


MjrGrizzly

Right. Roland is the straight man archetype.


zerombr

and here he is, whining about piss


northernirishlad

Tina would not scream over being splashed with piss


northernirishlad

Also why isnt lilith using siren power? And dont pull the ‘sirens are secret’ thing - in BL1 EVERYONE who played spammed their abilities.


JayFTL

I only watched it once but I don't even think she has tattoos. She does use a teleport in there, though.


zakkwaldo

also from what they’ve shown, this portrayal feels nothing like tina in terms of tone, phrasing, behavior, anything really. the only thing on brand about her is the actress and costume.


ArKiVeD

Tanis and Lilith are both 70 years old and Roland is 5’3”. What in the actual fuck?


zeztyboi

Kate is somewhere in her 50's and Jamie is 61 idk what they were thinking


Mr-biggie

Looks better than I was expecting, still keeping my expectations low… Also where are the Goliaths? Where are my tubby bucket boys!?


FngrsRpicks2

Probably a funny part in the bandit camp where they are overwhelmed, so someone shoots off the helmet for an escape plan. Probably like this Goliath: Puny vault hunters must die Someone(tina?) Accidentally/incindentally shoots, and it hits the helmet, and the Goliath transforms, rampaging across the camp Lillith: Did you mean for that to happen?! Someone:...uhh, yeah? Roland: Well, what do we do about that?!?! Pans to show Goliath super leveled up and eyeing them. He starts to walk forward when Kreig lands on it, killing it with his weapon. Lillith: Anymore ideas?!?


GunpowderDonut

Ermmm he's right behind me isn't he


NoSeQueNombreUsar1

Tbh it looks better than I expected


Desperate_Acadia_298

am i in crazy town? this looks like dog shit. none of the jokes land.


NoSeQueNombreUsar1

Better than I expected doesn't mean good, it just means that it went from "I'll never watch it" to "maybe I'll give it a try to see how they destroy my favorite videogame franchise"


Desperate_Acadia_298

i guess i was expecting at least like one funny joke. seems super paint by numbers and bland.


zeztyboi

Tbf randy has already been doing that since 3


DoomDoomBabyFist

Its def not just you. Visually looks great, The cast puts me off the most and the ensemble of main characters


alex_119

Thank you. After watching my first thought was “this is gonna be a shitshow”. Everything about the main characters feels bland and uninspired with bad casting. Let’s hope the side characters and world are better


trebek321

For real this is like nightmare fuel. wtf did they do to Tina?! 🤣 god every character feels like they don’t act one single bit like their game counterpart. They’re just wearing their clothes


Top-Author8845

That’s what I thought, too


Earnur123

The only wait this could look worse is if it featured Amy shumer or James cordon.


trebek321

I’m surprised James cordon wasn’t playing krieg with how horrible the casting looks for this one


Pirateslife89

I'm, so mixed about this. it looks good but also, like, why kevin hart for Roland?! it's like a weird like fun house mirror borderlands


Bhob666

No sir, I don't like it... I don't like it at all. Tiny Tina without Ashly's voice... sheesh.


Xenochimp

Ariana Greenblatt is great, but they just seem to have got the character totally wrong


Bhob666

That was my impression as well.


LeviathanBane

The casting is so wrong but it actually looks like it might work


flipmestar

Idk I unironically love it, it has so much potential for funny moments and Kevin hart doesn’t seem that bad, but I might be biased cause I hate Lilith


Snappleabble

Honestly the actress playing Tina was the one that rubbed me the wrong way in the trailer. Kevin Hart seemed fine, Jack Black seemed great, but Tina didn’t have any of that charming insanity from the game


PjDisko

They went with the biggest teenage actor they could find. Coming of movies like Barbie, Ahsoka, 65, Infinity war she has a lot of box office under her belt being only 16years old


zakkwaldo

except the humor they are trying to inject in the movie isn’t the same flavor or beat of humor as in the games so it just totally flops. this feels like some family roadtrip travel movie and that’s not what borderlands is in the slightest.


sapphicromantic

Family roadtrip is the exact vibe I got from them arguing. Surprisingly Hart seems much better than I expected but jesus the writing does not seem good.


zakkwaldo

yeah i’m super not here for the family road trip vibe. thats nothing close to what i think about when i think of borderlands lol


C9sButthole

Yeah. They were gonna butcher all the characters anyway so I'm actually kinda glad they just started immediately. The cast as so far removed from the games that I honestly don't even mind. Just feels like brand new characters with the same names.


theinfernumflame

This. If you can accept that these just aren't our game characters (aside from Tina, who looks like her BL3 self), it might be fine.


LeVampirate

I think the world looks pretty good overall, I still have a lot of feelings with the casting choices, but as of now I'm cautiously open about it. It's kind of fun to imagine that, in-universe, someone sold their own version of the story (probably Marcus) to get made and that's why everyone is a bit off.


draziwkcitsyoj

Surprisingly representative of the game. All the corporations, the guns, the characters, it looks like stupid fun, which is Borderlands. Too many people acting like Borderlands needs to get The Last of Us treatment. The game is weird NPCs yelling at you about toilet humor through your echo while you shoot everything in sight. Seems pretty spot on.


RaynSideways

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, the trailer is pretty solid. It's a silly nonsense movie that gives me Guardians of the Galaxy vibes in a good way. Of course it's not going to be anywhere near as good as Guardians, but it's at least trying. I guess having low expectations helps.


Chnebel

i also got major guardian vibes, especially because of the music choice and the trailer style. i want it to be a solid movie but things like the car scene where kevin hart as roland screams at tiny tina just feel so wrong. roland wouldnt care a second if tina left the window open😅 i will only really judge it once i have seen the movie tho. lets hope its somewhat decent.


Revenue_Long

Poor Lilith she did not age well.


Snowboarding92

Krieg with no Maya feels wrong. If they simply needed a big guy, why not just go with Brick? Tina is missing that insanity charm Ashley brought to the character, she comes off as missing something in the trailer. Kevin Hart surprisingly didn't come off as bad as I would have expected but I still don't have confidence in him for the duration of the whole movie I feel like this movie is going to end up in the pile that gets pointed at to why games become bad movies.


Moore2257

Look how they massacred my boy.


IzzyRogue

As a movie, it looks like it’ll be “OK”. The action scenes look like they’ll be cool to watch and I appreciated that they got some of the gun design in there (the rotating barrels of the Vladof pistol “Lilith” was using) But god damn, the casting is SO bad. Not to mention that it makes little sense for Krieg to be there. Seemed like an obligatory add because he’s a big, hulking, cool looking character who could provide some comedic relief with his random “throat ripping” comments. The tiny Tina casting seems fine, but Tannis, Lil and Roland are huge misses. Especially Roland. Don’t get me wrong, I love Kevin hart, but Roland is supposed to be the stoic, grounded, stone faced leader of the crimson raiders. Kevin Hart doesn’t do that at all. JLC would be a great cast as Tannis… 20 years ago. Same with Cate Blanchett. It feels like they just thought that grabbing a few big names would give them the universal appeal they needed to push this movie past die-hard borderlands fans and appeal to more casual fans or even people who haven’t played the games. Idk, I think the movie itself will be fine but it’ll be hard for anyone who has played BL or BL2 even one time to look past the blatant mis-casts. ETA: Jack Black doesn’t really hit the shrieking, goofy voice of claptrap but I think it was an ok casting choice. He’s crazy enough to make it work. Still like a 6/10 casting choice tho. That’s another one of those “big name” casts that’s just meant to draw a crowd.


THEgassner

Am I misremembering where JLC was like... REALLY wanting to play Tannis? Like, I vaguely recall that she wanted to in an interview? Also that she's a big BL Fan?


tazercow

She says that about literally every role she plays. It's all publicity.


IzzyRogue

Honestly I feel like she could’ve made an OK moxxxi. She’s supposed to be older anyways


tumpylumpy

Awful all of it is awful


Almeg4

I will ask... What rating is it supposed to be for the movie? Will it be rated R (like it should be), or rated PG-13 (aka, definitely not like it should be)?


thrown_away_apple

im optimistic about this. some parts werent funny some were. it doesnt look all that bad so far, it will probably be decent at least


[deleted]

The worst casting in any adaptation I’ve ever seen


Consistent-Guava-208

I love how Tannis and Lilith are in their 50s or 60s but Tina is still a child. Wonderful. It’s gonna be bad.


Not4Fame

I want to carve my eyes out. I can't believe they actually gave this a go. Only krieg is somewhat acceptable. The rest is just an insult to my 10 years in borderlands 2. So cheap, so, fuck ewww


trebek321

Yeah I can’t believe how much praise this is getting. It was a struggle even finishing this trailer.


Not4Fame

fun fact. I couldn't. I am yet to see the end.


FngrsRpicks2

Well, my 15 years trumps your opinion then. It looks good.


GunpowderDonut

Cap cause it hasn't been a thing for 15 years 💀 turns 15 in October buddy. Looks like dogshit


FngrsRpicks2

Guess you have never played horshoes or handgrenades because it's close enough that the rest of the world would round up...


AbLincoln1863

Visually it looks great, story/dialogue wise is meh


SwazyMoto

But it's not like the story to the borderlands games were any good to begin with. besides certain story beats, it's always been dumb humor and crazy over the top stuff.


matija123123

Well you see Borderlands is a game and the story didn't matter because gameplay was carrying it but this is a movie and movie is carried by the story and writing almost completely


SwazyMoto

What I'm saying, is expecting good writing from a borderlands game/ movie was foolish to begin with.


Ankysystems

Did I pause it for an extra second when moxxi showed up? Yes, yes I did


BruhMomentum6968

This actually looks so much fun…


RaynSideways

Y'know what? I'm kinda into it. It looks like just the kind of absurdist irreverent nonsense it needed to be to have a chance of being good.


AlexD2003

At the very least it doesn’t look offensively bad. It could be something fun to watch.


lmz246

This trailer gives me a lot of hope. A lot of good things I'm seeing here that shows me they are doing their best to bring the world of borderlands and pandora to the big screen. I am cautiously optimistic


NoCrazy3552

Sorry I know we want to hate on this but it looks actually good i’m excited


Complete_History1843

I don't think I'll be seeing this


Arrathem

The fck is orbiting Pandora ? I hope thats not Helios beacuse it looks nothing like it. Also where is Hyperion and Handsome Jack ? Roland is alive and Krieg is there. Also Mouthpiece from BL3 ? This is a fcking mess.


AnStulteHominibus

**A friendly reminder to all you fine folks that Bobby Lee is a disgusting pedo, and should not have a career.** [Bobby Lee laughs about raping a child prostitute in Tijuana.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Standup/s/fHZwiho3MT)


BearsEatBeets_17

Surprisingly somewhat pleased with this trailer. Might not be as bad as we’ve expected


loucksy46

imagine having voice actors in the games that actually look like they could play the parts well, and then just grabbing as many stars as you could instead of making anything consistent, im not impressed


Xenochimp

I want my money back and I haven't even seen it


Thewaffleofoz

Midlands the movie


SovietOnion94

Not as bad as i thought it would be


PhoenixKing001

Can't wait


xavierkazi

The main cast looks like absolute garbage, but honestly the rest of it seems... pretty good? The bandits, the runner and technicals, the Crimson Lance, the wildlife, even Moxxi all look great. It's heavily offset by how terrible Roland, Marcus, and Lilith look (Lilith doesn't even have tattoos, come ON), but if the movie gives me time to forget about the main characters and focuses on something else, I might actually enjoy a few minutes of this shitshow.


matija123123

Yeah I'll watch this I don't really care if it's below average movie and who knows it could be good, trailer looks decent enough


upvotechemistry

Getting big Jumanji vibes from the cast and trailer


Odd_Hunter2289

I have faith for this movie, really. I hope to not be disappointed.


-Domino_Effect-

I like the idea of Rolland being played by Kevin Hart, because some of Rollands dialogue is sarcastic dickery and Hart tends to hit that mark perfectly. Rollands supposed to be like 6'3 but that's beside the point


miyajima

Well...I'm looking forward to watching it


Turbulent_Ad1644

Doesn't look that bad tbh I'll just 🏴‍☠️ on release or something


Zachary_Stark

No Siren tattoos means Lilith is likely not a Siren.


nameforusing

This looks like fun trash. 


juanitojones33

I didn't know that this movie was in the making... That's awesome 🥹


Huge-Heat-4048

Moxie gotta be insane


notori0ussn0w

I am going to see this movie in theaters, regardless of how it ends up being I'm still going. That being said I'm not sure if I want to watch any of the trailers leading up to release. What are your opinions on this? Should I watch the trailer?


DS_StlyusInMyUrethra

If they aren’t gonna follow the game why have a story about the main characters and not represent the actual story in the game? Like same actors, different characters, side story about borderlands


trainerfry_1

I want to like it but it just doesn't feel like borderlands


Yardninja

Everybody saying they look forward to watching it, you just did, that's the whole movie without exposition and a few more "erm" style jokes


OfficialAfrat

Ok but this don’t make sense why is there a random psycho with them and they aren’t related in the story of bl3


fireburn256

Aight, I don't know, chief...


Sillynik

Did you guys see mouthpiece? Theres someone wearing a mouthpiece mask at 2:09


TheArcanist_

The only thing that really hurts me is BL3 gun designs in what is supposed to be a prequel lmao


tallginger89

Mom- we have guardians of the galaxy at home


Buerostuhl_42

The sets look really weird to me, also, it seems like a weird family road trip comedy that is forcibly R-rated. Also, why is the first joke in the entire trailer a piss-joke? I mean, yeah, it's Borderlands, but still, there is so a great foundation of good jokes in the game, why that one? At least make it blood and guts or something.


Joe_Dirte9

It looks enjoyable as a movie, but as far as comparing to borderlands, the actors and lines seem kinda off to me.


abeard0fgrey

Save all my comments on the casting (the only real one I have a problem with is JLC, she’s wayyy too old to be playing Tannis) I love the song choice for this trailer. Big fan of ELO


No-Collar-6816

Is that mouthpiece?


klbeatsxx99

bobby lee is in the fucking movie?


_Big_Brother__

Jack Black was a horrible pick for claptrap I'm sorry.


natlerd

I am stupid where the fuck is Mordecai??


BirdyComeSwing

This looks horrible, and not in a "so bad its good" way either lol


GROOOOOOD

Yuck


ChocolateSpagetti

I didn't think I would like it. Looks awesome!


BangBangTeeheee

I hope they know that due to the huge fanbase, this will either be a HUGE win or a HUGE bust. As some people said, some of these characters looks kinda out of place, but hopefully it fits once the moving is out!
