It does have crappy marketing though.
Doesn’t it premiere today? I just came from my local cinema and I don’t see anything about it, not even a trailer lol.
It makes sense if the studio executives knew how bad the movie was and didn’t want to throw marketing money at it. This is just another title going in to the pile of disappointments from the past few years.
Yes, I have a family friend that is a script writer and everyone knows that a film is going to bomb before release if it is bad. He’s even been brought in before to be the “writer” for an awful film that was already finished but they gave him a dump truck of money to attach his name to the sinking ship.
Because the casting made it clear they aren’t even trying to make a true adaptation is the games, so they aren’t courting any Borderlands fans.
And everyone else is asking why they made this trashy, lame mad Max ripoff.
And it’s not really appropriate for kids, so you can’t even use it to make little Timmy shut up for 2 hours.
And there isn’t a new game coming out (afaik) so no brand synergy.
They haven’t given a single person a single reason to watch it except ‘Kevin Hart is allegedly funny, right?’
I’ve got an unlimited movie pass for my local cinema so I’m basically seeing it for free this Saturday.
My expectations are low; I imagine it’s going to be a poor representation of the game, just like most game movies are. I’m HOPING it’s going to be at least campy fun, but with ticket prices being what they are, I can understand most people not wanting to pre-buy tickets without seeing some reviews…
wow i can’t wait to watch a movie of one of the worst written games I’ve played. i really really hope the movie’s plot doesn’t go anywhere either! 🤞
Bad videogame movie adaptations are back on the menu, boys!
Street Fighter the movie is honestly one of the best things ever put to film. It’s just so bad and campy, it manages to circle back to ‘fucking awesome’. I can’t help but watch it when it’s on somewhere.
