I love the games (the Telltale games were peak), and I actually like like most of the individual members of the cast (aside from Kevin Hart, dude just is plainly unfunny to me), and I think Eli Roth can do a decent job behind the camera. However I know most certainly this will be a product/marketing platform in the shape of a movie.

Is the cinema landscape this bleak these days? Movie magic is being wasted on this slop. Goddamn.

All the trailer dialogue is so awful and dry. You can tell most of the actors are phoning it in. Nobody is even hamming it up :(

The weirdest and worst decision is that it's entirely based on just recreating Borderlands 2. Which is bizarre since the only memorable things from the game were the good design/voice acting for Handsome Jack, Tiny Tina, and Claptrap.
