SPOILERS
When the trailer is so bad that you can't even get an ounce of interest, you know it's horrible.
"Harley Quinn, but as a child" yeeeee...eah. I wish I could extra not go see this, just to get the point across about how mad the fans are. Man, this could have been so cool.
Some of the decisions on this film are just....yeesh. I don't understand why Hollywood just won't let someone who actually likes the material do this shit. You cannot just be a good director to adapt something, you have to actually care about and understand the source material. That's completely missing from video game movies 95% of the time.
It was such a good movie, too. Lots of varied plot stuff going on. Sucks that it did poorly.
I am personally convinced that Hollywood is trapped under the thumb of executives that "know better." They force terrible decisions and limit the creative vision of everyone else involved. When it works, they think it was only themselves that made it work. When it fails, it was the directors, actors, other crew, or even the fans that were at fault. I firmly believe that was the biggest change with the mcu. Once the original chapter was over, they couldn't stay back anymore and started taking control again. I saw the new Deadpool, and I thought it was great. I firmly believe that's because Ryan Reynolds is a big part and makes most of the calls, because he's a creative. When you get a creative, they have passions that help the vision form, the executives should only be tasked with finding people with a passion for the current project. While sometimes that doesn't work, it's almost always because the creative teams passions didn't line up with the project.
I have to believe Hollywood buys IP assuming they're going to capture the core audience of the IP. So they think they're being smart by completely pivoting and subverting expectations in the adaptation to court a new audience. So they'll get IP audience plus new audience double win. Unfortunately, the IP core audience has certain expectations for the IP and when you abuse those expectations they don't watch it.
Like if you buy rights to the Doom franchise, and then produce a Shakespearean adaptation of the merchant of Venice set on Mars... It might be a great movie, but it's not going to get the Doom fans to watch
Everything has to appeal to everyone, because it's not enough to make lots of money, they have to make all the money.
This is why I say capitalism is to blame for pretty much everything.
I didn't know they'd made a movie. Should I be sorry that I now know they did? More importantly, do I have the inner strength to resist watching a movie from my favorite video game franchise, despite the warnings?
OK, thank you.
It honestly baffles me how, after decades of experience, Hollywood still doesn't understand what's necessary to properly execute a successful franchise with a large fan base. When they're spending millions of dollars in a film, you'd think they'd be smarter about choosing producers, directors, and writers. I saw the criticism of some of the casting choices, but rarely are the actors the problem.
I'm not a Halo fan, and while I thought the series had some weak areas, I didn't think it was horrible. And it seemed to be getting better.
It had almost nothing to do with the original game that I played, but I can live with that.
There's "bad" when the story diverges from the original so much, it's only irritating that they're trying to capitalize on a title; I'd put Halo in this category. I thought the writing and acting was pretty good, and the FX were decent.
Then there's "bad" where the characters are unlikeable with poorly written dialogue, like Foundation. In the latter case, it's especially depressing because the design was gorgeous, there were some outstanding actors, and the source material had such potential to be a great series.
It sounds as if Borderlands was just an all-around shit-show, without even the few redeeming qualities Foundation had.
I'll never forgive Apple for what they did to Foundation. I literally canceled Apple TV because of it.
I wonder how the movie compares to just all the borderland 3 cutscenes?

6 hours of cutscenes.....
As someone who didn't enjoy the games, I don't really get all the hate. The movie wasn't good, but it wasn't as terrible as everyone is making it out to be
Fair enough. You should expect a bump from the demographic of people who don't know the game, he just enjoy it as a summer action movie but that bump appears to be missing. Maybe everybody's watching the wolverine movie
Hmm, do I want to watch a quippy violent action comedy with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in some of their most iconic roles or Kevin Hart being atrociously miscast.
Decisions decisions
I don’t know this material at all but enjoy the genre, so figured I would go see it. But after all the bad press it’s been getting I figure I’ll wait until I can download it.
It's not even a game that would be a good movie, I see people that do makeup to imitate the Borderlands style all the time, why not do that? $8.8m opening weekend on a $115m budget sounds about right. Put little effort in, get bad results back.
