Borderlands loving sucks and the only character is Handsome Jack and his only character trait is he's a total rear end in a top hat.

Borderlands is really weird in this aspect. Jack is a villian because hes a sociopath assholes... Except the entire universe from top to bottom is all sociopath assholes, Especially the player protagonists.

The Pre-Sequel made him out to be a lot more sympathetic I enjoyed it a bit better than BL2, only because I have brain damage and enjoyed the clap trap playable character who would get constantly dunked on by the rest of the cast

A Borderlands movie could be fun with the right director/writer. Tales from the Borderlands was a lot of fun and showed that the setting can house some interesting set pieces.

Okay I can see a Tales from the Borderlands movie where some corporate flunky looking for a gimmick to get rich thaws a meathead from cryo and it's Duke Nukem. He makes all these old movie references and no one gets it because he is older than their current civilization.

I'd accept a Duke Nukem if it were essentially an updated Last Action Hero that was actually gutsy enough to make people react to Duke with the revulsion he deserves.

Make it like Rocky Balboa or Cars 3. Duke is a burned out has-been desperatly clinging to his past glory and has to go up against a young hot shot action hero who can regenerate any wound just by hiding behind cover for a bit but has the weakness of only being able to carry two or three guns at a time.

Or, tactically realistic John Wick shoots him in the face in the first couple of minutes. The rest of the movie is a political drama about the Trump administration.

I picture a Duke movie like the Wesker stuff in the Resident Evil movies: a character that at one time cheesy and dumb but enjoyable, now being played like the it's the height of cool and looking like a cosplayer.

duke's a former body builder chick magnet with his best days behind him. He's a homeless alcoholic with nothing but his memories to keep him together. he starts to see the pigs when he puts on his shades. walking in society, ignored and unseen. big pulsing phallic skyscrapers of organic machine meat inspire gigerian nightmares haunting his psyche. Even the babes... man the babes ain't looking so hot.... and showin some fangs... So he bashes in some nerd's face, everyone has a meltdown, he steals the "pig's" "regenerator", then you cut into a bog standard cover based third person FPS that looks a lot like gears of war and terminates at hour 7 for the dlc that parodies ummm Destiny. """ironically"""

If they want to make a Dungeons & Dragons movie they should just copy The Adventure Zone, I would love a big-budget movie equivalent of ending a long and involved campaign with "Abra-ca-gently caress-You!  "

I just read some spoilers about that twee child super genius movie The Book of Henry that's opening in theaters tomorrow and it turns out that everyone who watched the trailer guessed correctly. Yes, the super smart kid dies early in the film and the rest of it is mom and little brother following his plan to murder their neighbor.

I'm sure as poo poo never going to watch it to find out, though, so hopefully someone here can bite the bullet. Looking forward to Star Wars Episode 9.

well why not posted:About to see The Mummy now, keen to see if it matches what I'm expecting yep so it did match. There was a dude literally snoring in the row behind me. It was quiet, so easily ignored. On the way out I noticed he was really bronze-skinned and had ankh tattoos. I think he was Egyptian and I can't help feel bad for the dude.

Everything good about Borderlands is an accident or a result of incompetence. The art style was a late addition they just rolled with as the game had zero style, the writing was done after the game was deep in development. The aesthetic was ripped from a short film and, in Borderlands 2, they managed to hit right on the last gasp of people tolerating memes and pop culture being the meat of a script. Gearbox has failed upwards since Blue Shift. A film version would basically be a talentless Mad Max 2 clone, except with neon spraypaint and endless pop culture / meme jokes. Done properly, it could be an 'Indiana Jones in space' - really lean into the Vault Hunter idea. They won't do that. They'll make a graffiti garbage dump and add heaps of sex jokes and a plot that is paper-thin. well why not fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Jun 16, 2017 |

well why not posted:yep so it did match. When I saw The Mummy the woman sitting next to me kept texting on her phone and chatting to the person on the other side of her through the whole movie. I could have shushed her but to be honest it's not like she was ruining the film, the film already ruined itself.

Yeah it was so boring. Characters are just jawing at each other for what feels like hours. Russell Crowe was interesting but he's only really in about 10 minutes of the movie. Everything with Cruise, the Love Interest and the Mummy was boring. It's just slow. It feels like 140 minutes, not 107. The way the mummy gets released is the stupidest move I've ever seen a character pull on screen. Not only is Cruise dumb for shooting a chain and freeing the mummy, the ancient Egyptians are dumb for sealing the embodiment of evil in a manner that's reversible on accident. They bury Satan, but have a 'return' switch setup. Why?. I can ignore 'plot holes' in good movies, but in something this boring you have a lot of time to take count of how stupid everyone is. Cruise 'hallucinates' being haunted by his buddy. tells no-one despite being embroiled in a world of magic and monsters. Why? The plane crash has Cruise waking up in a morgue, a while away from the crash. It's not explained where he landed. It just moves on. I don't want everything explained, but at least acknowledge what is happening. It also achieves next-to-nothing plotwise apart from setting up Cruise as a monster hunter. The sidekick gets resuscitated, somehow offscreen before the sequel hook ending. Everyone is exactly where they started, except Cruise has a newfound sense of purpose and some kewl magic powers. It is very satisfying to watch Russell Crowe overpower Tom Cruise and throw him around like a toddler. I'm not spoiling that, you loving know it was going to happen. I will give the movie credit for it's effects which are good. Apart from the weird CGI on Crowe. I 100% believe the conspiracy theory posted upthread about much of the movie's audio being ADR for international audiences. There's a LOT of dialog with the speaking character not on screen. Gods of Egypt was way more interesting. If you wanna watch an over-the-top Egypt themed movie, definitely see that instead. It's a PS3 cutscene, but it's the best PS3 cutscene ever made, by far. At least that movie was fun and colourful. This is just lovely and boring. well why not fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jun 16, 2017 |

Something funny I noticed the other day: after the Brendan Fraser Mummy trilogy ended Universal kept trying to resuscitate the Universal Monsters franchise with movies like The Wolf Man, Dracula Untold and now The Mummy. But do you know what was the most successful (ie: least bomb-iest) recent Universal Monsters-themed movie apart from the Fraser Mummy films? The fun but oh-so-dumb Hugh Jackman/Kate Beckinsale Van Helsing movie.  Universal were hoping to spin off a few sequels from Van Helsing but nixxed that idea as soon as the reviews came out. They also wanted to make a live action TV series (partly because the village set they built for the film was so good they wanted to get more use out of it) with a wild west sheriff migrating to Transylvania to sort out their troubles with Hugh Jackman making an occasional guest appearance but that also didn't happen. The best they could do was a half hour animated prequel and a tie-in comicbook.

Apparently those are non-canon and the Dark Universe actually begins with 2017's The Mummy. There's even Dark Universe branding and it's a 'Dark Universe Production'.

Yeah, their previous franchise attempts were pretty much unannounced and they'd just throw a film up on screens and hope it proved popular enough to warrant sequels. This time they were so sure they had the formula worked out they made a big song and dance about launching the Dark Universe and uhhhhh guys that announcement might have been a bit premature ...

How the gently caress would you even market a Duke Nukem movie? The days of the generic macho muscle action movie are dead unless you somehow convince Dwayne Johnson to star and even then it's unlikely to make any money.
