Pretty low expectations.
Super weird casting choices. How did they cast Kevin Hart as Roland and not Terry Crews? Love Cate Blanchett, but can't see her as Lilith. Though Jack Black is certainly annoying enough to voice Claptrap. Fingers crossed it's watchable.
Steven Seagal should play Claptrap due to his enormous plethora of expressions
Every word of that article made me more and more uncomfortable and less and less confident as I read on...
@Czar_Khastik I don't think he's even stood up since the 90's
I love Kevin Hart in everything I've seen him in. But as Roland??? It's been a while, but I don't remember Roland being comic relief.
He would have been a better annoying claptrap voice.
I can see JLC doing a great job as Tannis though.
Still my expectations are EXTREMELY low for this. I don't expect Jack Black and Kevin Hart to save whatever plot this movie cooks up.
Right in front of my fruit salad? There goes my lunch break...
This movie looks worse than the fruit salad it just made me barf up.
there is a near 0% chance this is good, based on all the delays
I'm a fan of the games so I'm keeping an open mind, but I really didn't like Eli's last film. I thought the dialogue in particular was poor so I'm not over the moon about his involvement in the writing of this.
I’m looking forward to it. I really like the Borderlands world, so any sort of expansion interests me.
Im currently enjoying B3 on ps5. Quite addicted to it lol. Not a movie expert but i hope its decent.
Tax write-off too soon?
That's a very interesting choice of director....
I love Borderlands, but Kevin Hart as Roland is a massive mis-cast I reckon, unless they’ve changed the whole type of character he is.
Claptrap won’t be the same with Jack Black, should have used the same voice actor as before.
@Czar_Khastik Make him do that Jamaican accent he does in his reggae album.
The cast could be worst. But Lilith should be younger.
And JESUS CHRIST! ELI ROTH? COME ON
@nessisonett Walking around fatly.
Cate a Lil old to play Lillith
I think of Eli Roth and I think of erotic murder scenes in the Hostel films. If he can create the same involving Claptrap then I’m prepared to lose everything by being on this sinking ship of a film.
That cast… sort of seems a little over-pedigreed for a Borderlands film…
@Czar_Khastik Claptrap really would be the perfect gig for Seagal, he can literally do the whole thing sitting down!
@nessisonett I did not know that Seagal made reggae but you just made my evening a whole lot more interesting
@Czar_Khastik he talks about the poonani he hits in one of the songs. Enjoy the mental images you will have of a fat Steven Seagal punching a woman’s lady garden
@Czar_Khastik You’re in for a treat!
kevin hart as roland smh
This looks bad and then I saw it was made by Eli Roth and was like, well, of course.
ROCK BOTTOM EXPECTATIONS.......... basically the same thing I also have for that Steven Seagal reggae album I, too, was unaware of until I read these comments. SMH / LOLOLOLOL
You know when I see Kevin Hart, I don't think Roland.
Kevin Hart clearly bought his role how the hell can he be Roland it doesn't make any sense Terry Crews wouldn't either this is going to flop big time
I am hopeful, but not in any way optimistic. Hopefully its a fun watch.
