Kate Blanchett has played some pretty kickass women in some of her movies.

A bit older then in the game but I don't see that as an issue.

today

Madame Web must be relieved that it'll now have competition for the Razzies this year.

For those unfamiliar, the entire movie had to be shot on a green screen in a nursing home because all of the main cast are over 85. It currently sits at 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, up from 0% after the embargo lifted

It's not unusual for them to just go oops we fricked up on this one let's not release it. I wonder how this one got this far.

In a clip they were willing to show in the trailer, they clearly use a stunt double to hop up on a block the size of a large couch, and very noticeably cut to Cate Blanchett on the block in a position that doesn't match

They must have had rock bottom expectations from the start. Still not sure what they were thinking.

Maybe one of the studio heads is a certified hater and wants to destroy the Borderlands franchise :marseygigachad:

I don't think you need Hollywood to destroy Borderlands, especially after 3 and that shit borderland story adventure game.

I bet Kevin Hart has some clause in his contract that he gets a percentage of the band-end, so they HAVE to release it or something

How did they get it this badly wrong? I can't wait to watch it when it lands on streaming services in presumably two weeks.

The budget got so American :marseychonker2: because they hired expensive actors, added like 10 writers who turned the script into a fricking ship of Theseus, and had to reshoot a bunch of scenes because the initial screenings went terribly.

>10 writers

Does that ever go well? Might as well just go from scratch at that point. Too many cooks etc

The flintstones movie had like 30 writers and it was great

I laughed when Kevin Hart was cast as Roland. That casting choice made me want to see it but Cate Blancett and Jaime Lee Curtis :marseybabushka: :marseywouldnt:

WItness the Ultimate Slop Enjoyer:

Well. I actually enjoyed this. It's a decent 90 minutes of goofy videogame B-movie schlock.

With the obvious caveat of the 12A/PG13 rating, it actually feels authentic to the vibe of the game. The action is very silly and unrealistic which is exactly like the game. Its basically a cartoon. The dumb dialogue doesn't feel out of place.

It's upbeat and although my showing wasn't busy, there was lots of laughing throughout the film. Claptrap is a hateful little shit with the dumbest mf'ing jokes.

Also, Jamie Lee Curtis is really bad.

Not a new account either, so not a shill. Just a 100% naturale, cope machine from theboxoffice forum.

Kate Blanchett is too old for Lilith, Jaime Lee Curtis is too old for Tannis, Kevin Hart is too goofy for a serious character like Roland, Tiny Tina and Claptrap are still annoying so thats the same and Krieg is perfect. The casting directors got 3 out of 6 right.

That actually sounds pretty metal

Better than even chances at least one cast member would die before end of filming

This movie was simply an attempt launch a new Jewish "it" girl (Ariana Greenblatt).

Eli Roth, Gina Gershon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black.. all Jews.

Cate Blanchett's last film Tar was heavily praised by Jews.

Bobby Lee and Kevin Harr, both undoubtedly owned by Jews.
