Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

Eh. Seems alright. Definitely not going to a cinema to see it. Gearbox milked the franchise to death, I really only liked Borderlands 2. Looks like Krieg is in this, which isn't canonical. But fun. He also says nothing in the trailer?

My hate for what they did with tiny tina is unmeasurable. The character does not work when she is not a child. If they had put an actual child actor in their shoes and THEN made them blow up a lot of people, with gore, that would be the level tina is at. Like, if Borderlands had realistic graphics, it would be as PG 18 as Doom (2016) +. For understandable reasons. She is a traumatised child that got ate up by pandora and lived. On a revenge quest. All other characters +1 or +2 Tina gets a -20.

Not hating on the actor, lots of things can go wrong for the "magic" to not happen, most aren't on them.

I actually don't care for the prequel or BL1 backstory part. I'm not hooked by the premise.

Expectation is "mid". If an opportunity to watch it falls right into my lap I might, but realistically I will probably forget it exists when the ad campaign is through.
