Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

I don't watch very many movies and I'm by no means a movie critic; I think it looks terrible.

Its a trend chaser, imo.

✅️4-5 wacky characters

✅️action montage with fun music

✅️colorful explosions.

✅️rebellious teenager

✅️starring 4 names everyone knows

All tropes of previous movies that did well, but only the writing will save a movie this late to the game.

The original writer left and demanded his name be taken off the credits after they changed things. Avi Arad involved.

Not looking good.
