It’ll be fine for whoever hasn’t played through the games but kinda seems like they hacked up the source material and shat into its dying carcass.
Kevin Hart is playing Roland who’s 5’11". Lilith is 22 being played by Cate Blanchette who’s in her 50’s. I guess Jamie Lee Curtis fits the aesthetic of Tannis but in the trailer doesn’t exhibit the same mannerisms. And then claptrap is voiced by Jack Black but has a filter on to sound more like the goober anyways. Maybe it’s the 
in me but I’m really thinking this is gonna suck. Like they could’ve gotten Terry Crews for Roland, Brandon Rogers for claptrap(just someone a little unhinged and funny as hell) , some youngish, mildly attractive white chick for Lilith, I guess krieg is fine just needs to be slightly slimmer, I guess the tiny tina is ok too but there’s not enough energy imo. And the rest of the cast might work but there’s nothing about them in the trailer. And it feels like they just used the characters like dolls for a script they came up with set in that universe. Like why not expand upon the lore either before we meet them on the bus, or in between 1 and 2 similar to the presequel, or between 2 and 3 (I never played the tell tale games… 
) or just really anything else. They could’ve followed other wacky vault hunters on other planets and could’ve had them interact with the main cast of 1 2 and 3, depending on when they wanted to set the story. Idk it just seems like a lack of creativity in all departments involved in the making of the movie. I might pirate it tho just to see how bad it really is.
It’s just slop but it always happens to the Vidya Game movies. 
what’re y’all’s take on it? Am I just 
I watched it and the lack of budget really shows. Stuff like adult Luffy having a slight accent (putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables or words in a sentence) while child actor Luffy doesn’t. The hair dye looks pretty bad. Instead of fighting Buggy and his whole crew in Orange Town, the straw hats beat the crew off-screen and fight Buggy solo, with the only locations used being a small circus tent or the backroom of said small circus tent. Instead of fighting Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates on the beach to keep them from getting to Syrup Town, they fight Kuro and two other servants (who were apparently also undercover and working with him the whole time though this is never mentioned) in Kaya’s mansion. Instead of fighting Don Krieg, because that would involve a large group and Baratie being damaged, Mihawk kills them all in the Grand Line so there’s a small scuffle between Arlong’s crew and the straw hats instead. Instead of fighting Hachi or the seacow, because those would have to be full CG, they have Sanji and Zolo just fight some random fishmen mooks, one of whom knows fishman karate. In order to re-use the sets they have (which are, in fairness, mostly very nice), they have Garp follow behind Luffy and talk to people in the same places.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Also the Charlie Sheen bit is from Hot Shots Part Deux.
Oh I didn’t know they changed so much of it, it just looked pretty good for it being live action, haven’t had the chance to watch it. And it totally is, specifically when he’s shooting from the boat. No idea why I mixed it up with spy hard…
