Oh no
Popular media + all star leading cast = extremely likely to be a failed adaptation. I’m sure there are a few exceptions, but an ensemble cast of a half dozen top actors is a sign that they cared more about names. This kind of movie with that kind of cast is just begging for studio interference to create a bland experience that tries to appeal to everyone.
Good.
The thing I don’t understand at all is why use Jack Black for Claptrap? I love the guy but they could have just used the voice actor from the game.
I had heard the movie was bad so I did not read any of the reviews before watching it and I did not know Jack Black was in it until the credit scene started rolling.
They used enough modulations and filters on his voice to where you can only barely tell that it’s Jack Black.
The even advertise the movie with Jack Black here in Germany although in the german dub it’s someone else.

The OG claptrap wouldn’t have done it anyway.
I felt the same until I saw the movie. I actually think Chris Pratt did a fine job.
I kind of agree that Chris Pratt was not the worst Mario voice actor choice.
However, knowing that the actual voice of Mario is a good and upstanding guy and would have been glad to do it ruined the whole thing for me. Why not let the man have his time in the limelight? What’s wrong with nintendo?
Actually, don’t answer that there’s a lot of fucking things wrong with Nintendo. We don’t need to rehash all of their flaws right now.
Lots of people are going to lose lots of money on Borderlands
Not me lol.
But good for them. To make a movie is a big investment and a big bet. To make a videogame adaptation while pissing on the source material while also a bad movie, they deserve this much.
