The very first thing announced for the movie was the cast, and it immediately killed any hope I had. Cate Blanchett as Lilith - Odd choice, Lilith didn't seem that old in the games. Kevin Hart as Roland - Wtf, nothing about Kevin Hart screams strong professional soldier! Jack Black as Clap Trap - I love Jack Black, but why choose him when the voice actor for Clap Trap from the games exists!? Certainly, Clap Trap will be CGI, so why not use the original voice actor?
Jack Black walks out in a Clap Trap t-shirt.
You know...... that might actually make this watchable. Great CGI for all the monsters, fantastic action and gun play, and Jack Black wearing a cardboard box around his waist, vaguely painted to look like a robot, as if done by a child.
