MODERATORS
Hollywood always fucks up movies based on games. I'm not expecting much from this movie.
I think we're past this now, we've had a number of good (or at the very least enjoyable) adaptations now, Sonic, Mario, Pikachu. Werewolves Within was really good though no one has heard of the game. And of course TV has been knocking it out of the park, Last of Us, Fallout, Cyberpunk, Castlevania, League of Legends, hell I'd even throw in Twisted Metal. Even stuff about people who play games like Gran Turismo and Players were really good. We also have things that considered bad at the time are being reclaimed like Mortal Kombat
Borderlands is (by the looks of it) just an IP dump which isn't exclusive to video games.
They should've hired Uwe Boll as a director, at least they would've had an excuse then
There are exceptions
Had a drunken discussion about this last month. Basically there's less than 10 decent game adaptations ever. I remember the first mortal kombat, first 2 resident evils, tomb raider... A few others. But yeah.
