It'll be fine for whoever hasn't played through the games but kinda seems like they hacked up the source material and shat into its dying carcass.
Kevin Hart is playing Roland who's 5'11". Lilith is 22 being played by Cate Blanchette who's in her 50's. I guess Jamie Lee Curtis fits the aesthetic of Tannis but in the trailer doesn't exhibit the same mannerisms. And then claptrap is voiced by Jack Black but has a filter on to sound more like the goober anyways. Maybe it's the 
in me but I'm really thinking this is gonna suck. Like they could've gotten Terry Crews for Roland, Brandon Rogers for claptrap(just someone a little unhinged and funny as hell) , some youngish, mildly attractive white chick for Lilith, I guess krieg is fine just needs to be slightly slimmer, I guess the tiny tina is ok too but there's not enough energy imo. And the rest of the cast might work but there's nothing about them in the trailer. And it feels like they just used the characters like dolls for a script they came up with set in that universe. Like why not expand upon the lore either before we meet them on the bus, or in between 1 and 2 similar to the presequel, or between 2 and 3 (I never played the tell tale games... 
) or just really anything else. They could've followed other wacky vault hunters on other planets and could've had them interact with the main cast of 1 2 and 3, depending on when they wanted to set the story. Idk it just seems like a lack of creativity in all departments involved in the making of the movie. I might pirate it tho just to see how bad it really is.
It's just slop but it always happens to the Vidya Game movies. 
what're y'all's take on it? Am I just 
It's a genuine shock that Mortal Kombat movies don't do better. You literally just need to rip off a Kung Fu flick and change some names.
Yep. Yeeeep. Like the inspo for cage is van damme and he was in Bloodsport. It's sooo close. I guess directors see it's a video game adaptation and just half ass it.
The issue is directors that feel the need to "fix" the source material. It's a tale as old as time, the superhero movies used to do it as well. Just movies made by people with no love for the source material, who felt embarrassed about working with it. An example is the X-Men movies had them wear tacticool black leather and mock the yellow jumpsuits or Batman's obsession with "realism" from the 00's onwards
