What would you make a core of a Borderlands movie for it not to suck as the recent one? (sh.itjust.works)

Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don't count. Let's say it's live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?

Like the game, my movie would have 4 new vault hunters, with a supporting cast of returning characters. Perhaps each would have found a respective vault which lead to a piece of a key which they all need to work together to combine and open the mega vault.

Lean a little less into humor, add a touch of seriousness, not cast little funny Kevin to play strong serious Roland.

And obviously set it up for a sequel and a prequel.

I was literally talking about this with my fiancee and I agree with you. The Borderlands movie should have been Borderlands 4 and been a direct continuation of the games, then the next game is just borderlands 5.

It would have been on theme for the franchise.

As soon as I saw Kevin Hart casted for Roland I knew it was a corporate cash grab. I liked his standup when I was like 12 but I honestly can't name an acting role I've liked him in.
