Kreig is one of the best characters in the Borderlands games. He's a DLC vault hunter for Borderlands 2, and shows up in echo recordings and one of the DLCs for Borderlands 3. One of his game trailers is narrated by Hammerlock, and the other (A Meat Bicycle For Two) is the story of how he meets and falls in love with Maya. Weird that you say you've played a lot of Borderlands 2 and didn't know about him.
@@DanielsDailyVlogsseems like it was very casually a while ago. Like he attributes No Rest for the Wicked to BL2, when it was actually BL1. BL2 was This Ain't No Place for No Hero
- they fumbled Clap Trap's voice - Kate is 30 years too old for Lilith - Jamie Lee Curtis is 40 years too old for Tannis - Tina is not Tiny and definitely not crazy enough - Tina and Krieg instead of Brick and Mordecai??? - Where is Scooter? I believe this movie will fail miserably.
I feel as though the target audience is those who only played Borderlands 3. Seeing a side character being made into a main character, was enough to know that they shat all over the source material. The casting choice for Tiny Tina was some DEI checkbox choice, who can't act, and appears to have no lines. It was nice of you to say you believe it will fail, you know it will, modern Hollywood is pretty consistent with releasing flop after flop.
As a huge borderlands nerd. I've owned all the games, finished them all atleast twice and more. The casting is shocking. As Jaby said, "Cate is great, but why?". And Kevin Hart is just the same dude in every movie. Also Lilith is supposed to be shorter than Roland... Terry Crews would have been such an ideal fit for Roland imo.
@@chanahasnomana the issue is casting a comedian as Roland, He's one of the only majority serious characters in the game and you especially see that in BL2. Of course he has his little quips and little hehe moments, but he's not a funny character, he's leading a resistance against a villain whos set on destroying the people he's come to love. So casting Kevin Hart in this wouldnt make sense, and what @timhonigs6859 said stands true, I'm sure there is a plethora of actors who would have been better for this role (terry crews would definitely have been a better cast, but still would have missed the mark because we would have got more comedy out of the character than anyone is used to) that could have fit the role of Roland better than Kevin Hart, they just put him in there as a selling point to make a quick buck. It's a shame to see the movie industry shit on games by making poor adaptations and not sticking true to the source material. I dont think I have seen one GOOD thing said about this trailer said, unless the person reviewing the trailer does know ANYTHING about borderlands as a whole... this movie is gonna blow ass.
@HoldForHardFail everything is about live-action now. Tbh, I'd rather a series, like Wednesday, with medium unknown talent, and do it with 10 1 hour episodes. Take it along, good battles, eridium, and maybe turning Sanctuary into a spaceship, and touring the galaxy. Lots of storylines....
Yes the Psycho is a playable character in BORDERLANDS 2. He's DLC, but he's hilarious and i love him. His name is Kreig and he likes bicycles made of meat
The music is "Do Ya" by Electric Light Orchestra, so they are trying to mimic James Gunn's GotG which used "Mr Blue Sky" by the same band for the opening of GotG Vol. 2
I’m really happy I have no investment in Borderlands. When I ever found out Avi Arad was attached to produce Ghost in the Shell… Dear God, that was a rough day. I know Motoko’s body was made in a factory, so technically it doesn’t have to look like a Japanese woman… But would it have killed them to just find a Japanese actress that speaks English?
"It's almost like an SNL sketch for Borderlands" This sentence was the one that made me say "That's the feeling I am getting from it!" The trailer just feels all kinds of off
There was a pay dispute between the voice of claptrap and the people who made the game...so that's why he is not in the film... Claptrap voice actor and former Gearbox vice president of licensing and business development David Eddings said last week that he was not returning to the role in Borderlands 3 because of a pay dispute: He "insisted on getting paid" for his work (his previous performances were on the house because he was a Gearbox executive) but he and the studio couldn't agree on terms.
Ariana (Tiny Tina) is adorable, and her lines seem suitable, although she doesn't act as intense as the original. The best cast is Krieg, and I'm not even biased that the actor is from my country, he just has the right body type. Of course, he also doesn't have any speaking lines - in this trailer at least. So who knows. The rest of the cast doesn't seem to make a lick of sense. I'm willing to keep an open mind, but this looks pretty bad. Although Pandora and its denizens look pretty good.
Is it just me or does the sound mute suddenly a few times through this video? I thought I was having problems with my bluetooth headset but the sound disappears at the same point in the video...
Not that I think it was a bad movie(bad adaptation with a poorly handled villain) but the thing that scared you the most isn't 'From the Producers of Uncharted'?
The team is kind of built up as a family kind of. Kevin hart as a dad ,cate as a mom, Krieg as an older brother Tina as sis and claptrap as a pet. Oh and also jame lee as a grandma
I envy you that you were able to see this trailer as someone whos not played the game... Cause ive played all of them religiously and i hate this trailer. I really hope you like the movie lol
@Cinepals are you aware there's a couple of segments in this video that completely lose audio for a good 20 seconds at least? Feel like this is something you can't miss in post editing lol
After having played 10s of thousands of hours across the entire Borderline franchise, I actually like Cate Blanchett as Lilith. She is the least over-the-top and most grounded of the characters and Cate brings that sense of down-to-earthness needed. My biggest fear is with Tiny Tina, who is by far the greatest character in the series and is completely unhinged in every way. She is essentially an even more twisted (yet somehow still innocent) version of Harley Quinn. She was designed and intended to be completely over-the-top and extremely darkly comical while somehow still sweet, innocent and childish. I have nothing against Ariana Greenblatt, but every action she takes needs to be more...whimsical, outlandish and filled with glee. I could see her hopping along, humming to herself while explosions are going off all around her, sending body parts everywhere. That is the extreme we need to see for that character!
Everyone is missing the point of this movie - it's to get people who have never played Borderlands interested in playing the games. If you look at it from that angle, it works perfectly. Famous, funny people in a movie that will have action, comedy and introduces the world. Then someone will say, "isn't there a game of this we could try?" and they'll make loads of new players and money!
I was gonna say this reminds me of twisted metal the series. it has similar vibes but this feels like a mix of twisted metal and guardians of the galaxy. with a taste of mad max
There is a crazy talented cast in this movie, unfortunately almost everyone I feel is mis-casted, the actor (that spoke in the trailer) that felt the closest to the source material was Jamie Lee Curtis as Tanis, when she took the gun, it felt like Tanis... I'm still gonna watch this but I'm not optimistic, this feels more like ppl in cosplay at a convention than a Hollywood film's trailer. edit: Krieg was a playable expansion character for BL2, he barely got any lore in BL2, but he got some love in BL3 having an entire story expansion about him and how psychos were created edit2: i think Brick is gonna be a surprise reveal and is the huge psycho guy with the fill helmet in front of the crowd of psychos and atlas soldiers
People who've been playing Borderlands games won't like this. It's a movie for people who don't play video games. Like watching a movie after reading the book first, most don't like the movie. Same here if you've played any Borderlands games. It'll be nice if I'm wrong.
Pairing Cate Blanchet with Kevin Hart is like combining filet mignon with a cheeseburger, strange but curious The camera work so that Roland doesn't look like a mini-soldier is going to be challenging without a doubt
Based on the comments on the trailer page and here I am glad I never played these games. I have zero expectations. You probably should have had Achara or someone else that hasn't played the series to watch along with.
Cate blanchett isn't just badly cast as Lilith, she's got to be taking a massive chunk out of the budget too. It makes no sense to me. Lilith should be played by someone like Alexandra Daddario or Samara Weaving, or ideally a younger actress just getting started.
"Okay, we're basically doing Jumanji for our casting. We've got Jack Black and Kevin Hart, and now we need to cast a badass redhead. So... who will it be?" "Let's get Cate Blanchett!" "... *sigh*"
They should have just created original Vault Hunters for this. Make an original Siren, take a soldier from one of the gun manufacturing companies, make an original robot, make some other random character with a unique backstory... It could have worked way better than taking random characters from the first two games and shoving them in a plot where none of it even resembles the source material, characterization included.
If Eli Roth ever decides to give Tiny Tina her own solo film (probably based on Tiny Tina’s Wonderland), I hope Ariana Greenblatt decides to come back as the demolition expert (if she & Eli are both interested & decide to write the script & produce the spin-off). This time, give the spin-off a R-rated and probably a 2hrs run-time if needed. If they’re interested. #IBlameAviArad
This feels like it’s trying to hard to be funny and edgy while the Borderlands games just were that and unapologetically that. Everyone feels miscast and the weird uncannyness I feel about Jack Blacks voice coming out of Calptrap is a perfect metaphor for how I feel about this whole thing, It’s just not right and awkward and something feels off.
Even in the mini-comics they released they came as 4 vault hunters from different places(Roland, Brick, Lilith and Mordecai), don't know how did they meet Krieg before or Tina(eventho Roland knows Tina from before) but will see how it turns out, maybe i will give it a try
I’ve been playing Borderlands since 2013 and I hate to say it, but aside from Cate Blanchett, none of the cast in this trailer feel anything like in the games. Tannis (Jaimie Lee Curtis) is supposed to be a truly MAD scientist who is almost never seen in the field. Tiny Tina is supposed to be like if you took 00’s hip hop, Monster Energy, and every toy from Toy’s R Us, threw them into a blender, and then BLEW UP the blender with an absurd amount of high explosives. And Claptrap is supposed to sound more upbeat because as he says “the manufacturer made that my default tone of voice, I’m actually quite depressed”. And none of those 3 sound like that from this trailer. The look and feel of Pandora look good though.
Krieg was a psycho you could play is in some DLC. I’m with ya, it doesn’t feel like it will hit the mark. Eli Roth was really my first question mark when this was first announced. I’m still trying to be optimistic…but this wasn’t a great first showing. Like you I played 2 the most. Handsome Jack should’ve just been the baddy
AVI ARAD ruined everything again Just like he ruined TASM 2, MORBIUS and UNCHARTED Things went so bad that Craig Mazin (from CHERNOBYL and THE LAST OF US) asked for his name to be removed from the credits
When I saw the title in my notification, I thought you were reacting to Alice in Borderland, so I hurriedly clicked on the video, but it was not the case. Pretty please react to Alice in Borderland. It is a an amazing Japanese thriller series. It is very exciting and a wonderful series . I love it, and I think it is much better than squid game. Please react to it pleaseeeee!
Jaby sometimes you automatically go into things hating things if they aren’t exactly what you imagined. I get it but this looks kind of 4:01 fun 🤷♂️. I am not a Borderlands fan BUT I AM ON BOARD WITH THIS! I don’t know anything about Borderlands but this reminds me of the new D&D movie and I loved that. I feel for the super fans but I personally don’t give two sh*ts if they change things if it is an entertaining movie.
Krieg the phyco was introduced in borderlands 3 and he is one of my fav characters. I’m happy he is in it but it would have been nice to have the old group first. However these characters are fine as a group.
I'll be honest, Kevin Hart as Roland was something I didn't think I would be able to like but I felt like i was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully he can maintain that feeling for the whole movie. All other actors didn't feel at all like the characters that they were suppose to be portraying. It doesn't seem like it would be a bad movie but it sure as shit isn't gonna be a good movie - Borderlands or otherwise.
If you ask me we already have borderlands movies. Called mad max. More real to borderlands than this ever will be. When it was released i thought wow, a new mad max. This movie could of been amazing. The material is created by no one who loves borderlands, just like witcher. Even while having source material to use.
I'm pretty sure Psycho was the Brick when Maya was the Lilith. I think that's in 3 but all I remember from that game is eerily appropriate Alicia Keys.
The main thing that gives me hope about this movie is that Tim Miller was brought in to do reshoots and I'm really hoping it's enough to save this movie. Both Avi Arad (are they trying to scare people away with those credentials?) and Eli Roth I cannot think of a good project they worked on. The casting I'm a bit iffy about. Kevin Hart is just going to be Kevin Hart. Lets not even kid ourselves on that one. I agree why didn't they just use the Claptrap actor to voice Claptrap again, but I can see he's trying and can grow into it. The rest of the casting I can also see growing into. I think the Tina actor was the most accurate on from the bunch at the moment. Of course it might feel different once we see the whole movie. As much as people give Star Wars flack, they generally have good casting. The last Star Wars project, Ahsoka, had amazing casting for example. Nice they even brought in the Thrawn voice actor (I'll ignore the trolls) to play the character. EDIT: I also find it amusing Jamie Lee Curtis is using her Oscar win to land these type of roles. I know she's also trying to campaign for the One Piece TV show too. It's like Helen Mirren winning that Oscar so she can get into action roles, and now Jamie is trying to use her Oscar win to land video game and anime roles. Never knew she was a fan of them. Guess her family gotten her into them.
Unfortunately, we were never going to hear Claptrap's original voice in this, as his voice actor, David Eddings, had a falling out with Randy Pitchford, the head of Gearbox, and was fired, so he was actually replaced in the games starting with the BL2 VR game.
You describe this trailer with the Suicide Squad trailers made by that trailer company and James Gunn touch comparison the way I felt! But I love the actors so I'll give it a shot and hope for a positive surprise like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves which I really enjoyed.
I’m surprised they don’t use CG effects to make Lilith looks younger just like Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars tv series. Feels like Grandma Lilith every time I see her
They could have really made this something special if they did some kind of really cool cell shade effect, make it look like a kind of live action animation.
Agree it should have been a tv series. Side note; they introduced Krieg the Psycho as a playable character and he has an incredible split personality. Why hes not been given a moment to be hilarious in this i don't know. Also why is a Tannis 65?
Honestly I'm still excited, the casting really doesn't bother me. As long as we get to some wacky explosions, and badass action scenes, and some funny one liners, I'll be happy.
The casting is very... strange. All the women are about 20 years older than in the games, Kevin Hart is 1.5ft too short, and I have no clue when this story takes place since you got two from BL1 and a DLC character from BL2. Hammerlock and Jakobs, the coolest old gay couple in gaming, are also played by actors who look barely 30, while the games have them looking between 50 and 60, unless they are in flashbacks.

Every time a video game movie is made the gods flip a coin. Having Kevin Hart playing Roland is just like having Jim Carrey play as Sub Zero from MK
That be pretty awesome too.

And?
Or having John cena as Kratos from god of war💀

The Psycho is "Krieg" which is a playable character in BL2, although in the games he is Maya's protector since he kinda falls in love with her.

I’ve been playing Borderlands since 2013 and I hate to say it, but aside from Cate Blanchett, none of the cast in this trailer feel anything like in the games.
Tannis (Jaimie Lee Curtis) is supposed to be a truly MAD scientist who is almost never seen in the field. Tiny Tina is supposed to be like if you took 00’s hip hop, Monster Energy, and every toy from Toy’s R Us, threw them into a blender, and then BLEW UP the blender with an absurd amount of high explosives. And Claptrap is supposed to sound more upbeat because as he says “the manufacturer made that my default tone of voice, I’m actually quite depressed”. And none of those 3 sound like that from this trailer.
The look and feel of Pandora look good though.
Too many people just wanting a 1:1 copy of the game which would be absolutely pointless. The trailer looks surprisingly fine imo.
My biggest concern regarding this project is why Craig Mazin's initial script was scrapped
As soon as i saw kevin hart.. the movie will bomb.
Jaby watching the trailer optimistically
"Uncharted"
PAUSE
Krieg is on your side. And his crazy behind is epic.
Easily the best written character
Krieg was a psycho you could play is in some DLC. I’m with ya, it doesn’t feel like it will hit the mark. Eli Roth was really my first question mark when this was first announced. I’m still trying to be optimistic…but this wasn’t a great first showing. Like you I played 2 the most. Handsome Jack should’ve just been the baddy
AVI ARAD ruined everything again
Just like he ruined TASM 2, MORBIUS and UNCHARTED
Things went so bad that Craig Mazin (from CHERNOBYL and THE LAST OF US) asked for his name to be removed from the credits
When I saw the title in my notification, I thought you were reacting to Alice in Borderland, so I hurriedly clicked on the video, but it was not the case.
Pretty please react to Alice in Borderland. It is a an amazing Japanese thriller series. It is very exciting and a wonderful series . I love it, and I think it is much better than squid game.
Please react to it pleaseeeee!
Jaby sometimes you automatically go into things hating things if they aren’t exactly what you imagined. I get it but this looks kind of 4:01 fun 🤷♂️. I am not a Borderlands fan BUT I AM ON BOARD WITH THIS! I don’t know anything about Borderlands but this reminds me of the new D&D movie and I loved that.
I feel for the super fans but I personally don’t give two sh*ts if they change things if it is an entertaining movie.
And this is why you are a part of the problem along with Avi Arad.
Yep Krieg is in the game as a playable character in borderlands 2.
Krieg the phyco was introduced in borderlands 3 and he is one of my fav characters. I’m happy he is in it but it would have been nice to have the old group first. However these characters are fine as a group.
introduced in Borderlands 2*
I'll be honest, Kevin Hart as Roland was something I didn't think I would be able to like but I felt like i was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully he can maintain that feeling for the whole movie. All other actors didn't feel at all like the characters that they were suppose to be portraying. It doesn't seem like it would be a bad movie but it sure as shit isn't gonna be a good movie - Borderlands or otherwise.
If im not mistaken I think by Borderlands 3 there was one that was their friend Korg was his name I think its been a while 🙂
Looks Awesome
If you ask me we already have borderlands movies. Called mad max. More real to borderlands than this ever will be. When it was released i thought wow, a new mad max. This movie could of been amazing. The material is created by no one who loves borderlands, just like witcher. Even while having source material to use.
I'm pretty sure Psycho was the Brick when Maya was the Lilith. I think that's in 3 but all I remember from that game is eerily appropriate Alicia Keys.
I think Kevin heart shown he had great range in jamanji
The main thing that gives me hope about this movie is that Tim Miller was brought in to do reshoots and I'm really hoping it's enough to save this movie.
Both Avi Arad (are they trying to scare people away with those credentials?) and Eli Roth I cannot think of a good project they worked on.
The casting I'm a bit iffy about. Kevin Hart is just going to be Kevin Hart. Lets not even kid ourselves on that one. I agree why didn't they just use the Claptrap actor to voice Claptrap again, but I can see he's trying and can grow into it. The rest of the casting I can also see growing into. I think the Tina actor was the most accurate on from the bunch at the moment. Of course it might feel different once we see the whole movie.
As much as people give Star Wars flack, they generally have good casting. The last Star Wars project, Ahsoka, had amazing casting for example. Nice they even brought in the Thrawn voice actor (I'll ignore the trolls) to play the character.
EDIT: I also find it amusing Jamie Lee Curtis is using her Oscar win to land these type of roles. I know she's also trying to campaign for the One Piece TV show too. It's like Helen Mirren winning that Oscar so she can get into action roles, and now Jamie is trying to use her Oscar win to land video game and anime roles. Never knew she was a fan of them. Guess her family gotten her into them.
Unfortunately, we were never going to hear Claptrap's original voice in this, as his voice actor, David Eddings, had a falling out with Randy Pitchford, the head of Gearbox, and was fired, so he was actually replaced in the games starting with the BL2 VR game.
You describe this trailer with the Suicide Squad trailers made by that trailer company and James Gunn touch comparison the way I felt! But I love the actors so I'll give it a shot and hope for a positive surprise like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves which I really enjoyed.
It looks just OK will not go to a theater to see it is a streaming only movie.
I’m surprised they don’t use CG effects to make Lilith looks younger just like Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars tv series. Feels like Grandma Lilith every time I see her
No psycho is on your side in any of the games.
Are you related to Alba dude?
Borderlands the Se-Sequel.... set 80 years in the future cause gawdam theyre so old like THATS TANNIS AND LILITH?!?!?!?!?
Anyone know what rating the movie will be? The games in the UK are 18 and I have a feeling this will be a 12A
The cast is bizarre Oscar winners and .....Kevin hart😂
Krieg the psycho is a dlc character from game 2
They could have really made this something special if they did some kind of really cool cell shade effect, make it look like a kind of live action animation.
Also Krieg came out later in borderlands 2 but no Brick Mordiaci like what?
Agree it should have been a tv series. Side note; they introduced Krieg the Psycho as a playable character and he has an incredible split personality. Why hes not been given a moment to be hilarious in this i don't know. Also why is a Tannis 65?
Eh i agree, im not to sure what to think from this... hopefully it winds up good.
Honestly I'm still excited, the casting really doesn't bother me. As long as we get to some wacky explosions, and badass action scenes, and some funny one liners, I'll be happy.
It didn't look bad...but it didn't look like borderland either.
This trailer reminds me of the trailers and beginning of the Guardians of the Galaxy flicks.
The casting is very... strange. All the women are about 20 years older than in the games, Kevin Hart is 1.5ft too short, and I have no clue when this story takes place since you got two from BL1 and a DLC character from BL2. Hammerlock and Jakobs, the coolest old gay couple in gaming, are also played by actors who look barely 30, while the games have them looking between 50 and 60, unless they are in flashbacks.
