Kevin Hart being Kevin Hart in both probably helps.

Oh god it's so much worse than I expected. Jack Black as Claptrap is a TERRIBLE choice. And he...fights? Roland being TOWERED OVER by everyone? Handsome Jack is jus some dude? PISS WATER BEING ACTUAL PISS?!? Tiny Tina not being a consistently crazy girl singing and shit? How the FUCK did they ever look at the source material and think this was the right move?!?
Oh wait. They probably aren't fans of the game at all and just looked at dollar signs. had low expectations and I'm still disappointed.

Ditto.
Also who was the one saying the "Legend has it..." lines near the beginning? Was it Jamie Lee Curtis? Because the delivery of those lines sounded incredibly stilted and unnatural. Was it because they were editing together words from different sentences?
Wait, I just realized that was supposed to be Tiny Tina in the trailer. I had no idea. She didn't seem...kooky enough?
Well, they do not sound like words that came out of a human's mouth, much less a professional actress, much less an Oscar winner. If it turned out that those lines had been made using a text-to-speech generator, I would be completely unsurprised.
...right? She acts like a high-school teenager when she should be acting like Crazy Larry/Junkrat.

Based on other casting choices for the other characters I am surprised they didn’t just put rabbit ears on John Cena.
"In a recent interview ahead of his next film, Thanksgiving, Roth told me just how close the movie will be to the first game, with the film adaptation featuring the same cast of characters."
I guess he changed his mind.
Or he just couldn’t be bothered to play the first game and just got a drunken recap of it.
It's by Asylum. You know, the movie studio that brought us the Sharknado franchise.

WTF, I was in acting class with one of the women in the cast. I'm not sure I should name her and have this show up in search results. When we were doing scenes from Antigone in class, she pronounced Zeus as "zay-us". Her most notable trait was that she never knew what to do with her arms. Unless instructed otherwise she'd just default to what we called "penguin arms". Despite having first billing on IMDB, I don't think she's in this trailer.
She is in this trailer for Transmorphers: Mech Beasts, though:

Is that like t-posing but at a lower angle?

Yup, just straight down at her sides.
It's like someone saw the Bastion short and said, "Hey! We could make an entire movie about that."
"...only less 'shooty,'" and I am here for it.

Fallout Amazon Prime series
Mom's brain saying, "Welp, that's a preview for the next ten years!" hits too close to home right now.
I’m hoping for a good film. And very little I’m seeing here is telling me it won’t be. But it does appear to be a retread of the first film; feelings get removed from the control room and need to go on a road trip through manifested human behavior to come to the conclusion that all feelings are good feelings in their own way.
The Cars franchise should tell you all there is to know about the quality of Pixar sequels.
My kids (6 and 4) loved Inside Out as a comedy, and the parents loved it as a way to help explain their complex feelings. please be good. please be good. please be good.
And toy story and monsters Inc. tell us something a little different. It could go either way I’m sure.
Just realized the best example of why this movie is going to bother me.
It looks like a full length SNL movie parody, like that Bambi w/ Dwayne Johnson one they did years ago. Don’t ask why I just thought of that now. My mind is weird at 3am.
The Crow (2024)
Okay, hot take? I think this looks all right.
I could be completely wrong, but my intuition says this will join the ranks of the 2013 Evil Dead. Something that is distinctly different from the original, but way better than anyone expected it to be.
I should note that I don't hold a single iota of nostalgia for original Crow movie. I remember seeing it when I was in high school and thought it was...fine? It's probably been decades since I last watched it, so I don't even know how well it holds up.

If they ever make a Saints Row movie, this is the kind of energy it should have. Just with more purple.
Also, Bill Skarsgard is getting typecast as the creepy killer type. He should do a high-profile romcom next.
Not a fan of Bethesdizing the pre-Fallout 3 stuff, but Fallout is not for me anymore.
I DO NOT like the aesthetic of Fallout 4 and applying to it to older parts of the story actually kind of pisses me off (almost as much as a Brotherhood of Steel [dumb as fuck] airship being in California during the events of Fallout 1). This show obviously takes place around F1, since I can clearly see a Shady Sands sign (the wasteland settlement that would become the capital of the NCR)

Harold and the Purple Crayon
I'm not familiar with the source material, but I don't really see anything bad about this. It looks like an inoffensive kids' movie with a slightly bigger budget. What am I missing here?
