Borderlands: The Movie (lol)

[nkiritsis13]

The positive?

Spoiler!

HIV

The negative?
Prefacing this with Boderlands being a dead franchise anyways, I guess that leaves everything else.


Roland is now Kevin Hart, which says everything.

Lilith is now menopausal and the only "rare" anyone on set found was a way to make Kate Blanchett look like she's wearing clown makeup.

*No images that I've seen of the actual ex stripper (hooker?) in clown makeup.

Tannis is now a grandma.

Krieg, the literal psycho who yells about meat trains, is here because ?

Claptrap just sounds wrong, and I usually like Jack Black.

Tiny Tina is somehow worse than the game version that could already go from kind of endearing to nails on a chalkboard within the same sentence.

Where's Brick and Mordecai?

Where are the midgets?

Hell, where are the jacked up big guys?

All of this, and I don't think anyone could tell you when is this movie even supposed to take place if Roland is alive, Lilith is ready to retire, Brick and Mordecai aren't around, Tiny Tina is kind of older, Tannis is way older, and none of it even matters, just like this entire franchise after the second game.



For reference, this was the first game's intro (note the music that's actually fitting and good):



And the sequel:

Where are the midgets?

get with the times, bigot, theyre called tinks since borderlands 3

[Dontknomyass2]

Damn Cate is hnnnnnng

[freeburn]

Clap trap looks awesome but does sound odd lol

Movie doesn't really look great but doesn't look too bad either. I'm gunna watch it once it's streaming.

Tiny Tina kinda meh

Idk if Kevin hart is playing Roland and not just playing Kevin hart it could be ok

I'm glad they chose cate Blanchett instead of some random young up and coming actress, it would been one of like 3 young girls who suck anyways.


Idk I know it doesn't look great or even that accurate to borderlands but I still think it looks fun to watch.

[Muzzlrpress]

Kevin Hart as Roland





Lmao


Seems odd that they'd put Tina in here

I have no doubt this will be some B level movie I'll enjoy once it comes to streaming services

[freeburn]

If I don't see Mr torque high five flexington I'm gunna be a little butthurt

[rollerball]

Tired of the “motley crew” of ne’er do well fumbling anti-hero clowns with a 70s/80s soundtrack who end up saving the world/universe cliche.

You mean you aren't excited for guardians of the borderlands?

guardians of the suicide borderlands squad

[BraneyGumble]

"- And then, what if...they drive through an area called Piss Wash. And it smells like piss. And then they get piss all over them, even in their face. Get it? Washed in piss in Piss Wash lmao. And then one of them says it's piss, and the other one reminds them that duh, it's called Piss Wash for a reason!
- Billion dollars, baby!"

Jesus fuking Christ.

guardians of the suicide borderlands squad

Sums it up, this is Mad Max for the Fortnite generation, except the whole cast sucks. Who the hell wants to watch Jamie Lee Curtis?

[DASBUNKER]

heard theres a very funny scene with piss involved

[Muzzlrpress]

Got a few chuckles out of the trailer. I'm a simple man.

[JayJ350]

Probably one of the most ruined franchises by this point. Not a surprise how they have a focus on "Tiny Tina" they seem to be obsessed with that lame ass obnoxious character these days.

[BigElephant]

I played Borderlands 2 a little bit but never got much into the series or that game. I have a couple friends who are big fans, they both think this movie looks like trash.

maybe in a cringy way type of fun, of how bad it is.

[JUSA]

This looks like Guardians of the Galaxy, minus everything that made it (the first) actually good and only with the most superfluous overblown comedy/Disney aspects of it turned up to 11.

It was the piss part

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Movie looks like ass.

But with that said, Borderlands is a dead franchise? That's interesting. Every game was considered quite a success and I reckon BL4 will do very well too when it releases in the next year or two. The BL games in all have sold like 80+ million copies to date. That's about as successful as they come.

Yes grandpa. Borderlands is a dead franchise for everyone except boomers like you. No actual gamer wants this movie so it's being made for old trans ppl like you. It should hold you over until the TLOU movie

Damn your reading comprehension is AIDS. BL4 will sell 6+ million copies with ease within the first year. Another 6-8 million in the 2 years or so after.



Yeah...dead franchise though.

Oh wow a game that was last released in 2019 has fans in the 2024. Please give us more of your amazing insight

They kept an incredibly solid fan base from 2009 when BL1 launched to 2019 when BL3 launched, but you think 5 years later their customer base is suddenly dead and in the grave or something? Your logic is so low IQ I don't think you deserve replies any longer on the subject.

Go sit and think about how dumb you are. The numbers don't lie.

[phillipsanchez]

I don't think even Cate Blanchett is going to save this one.

What numbers? You didn't provide any

Well lets be honest, Borderlands 3 lost them a lot of fans. Heck even the Pre-Sequel was very divisive. Franchise popularity peaked with Borderlands 2, especially when it comes to fan enthusiasm.

BL3 has sold well over 15 million copies. It’s not as well as some of the other games did, but it’s clearly a VERY successful game.


If anyone can someone how land at “franchise dead” after said franchise has sold ~80 million games, you’ve gotta be retarded.

If BL4 doesn’t sell, then we can come to that conclusion. Until then, the franchises history has repeatedly shown over the last 15 years that there are still many many millions of people who want to play new BL games.

Edit: To put some of these numbers into perspective: Most AAA games (budget depending) are considered a pretty huge success if they manage 3-5 million copies sold. 8+ is amazing. 15-20 million+ is absolutely massive.
Then of course there’s the crazy sellers like Rockstar games, etc with 50+ million games sold on some titles.

Well I'd say the Tiny Tina games are the best indicator of popularity today.

I’d consider myself to be a pretty huge BL fan. Have played every single game and DLC and loved them all.


And I had zero interest in Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Just saying, I don’t think that game is a good indicator of the BL games fan base in general. Maybe I’m wrong but a lot of people I know who love BL weren’t interested in that game.
I will be VERY surprised if BL4 doesn’t do at least as well as BL3, which would be a huge success. I know several people IRL who will be pre ordering immediately (including myself).

Written and directed by Eli Roth who can't seem to get past a 5/10 star avg on IMDB so I suspect the same from this.

Honestly, just go play tales from the borderlands if you want a cinematic borderlands experience. It's excellent.
