Could be fun, I'll probably see it, wonder if they will go for the R rating or tame it down to get a younger audience

It's a crazy game with a silly premise so hopefully they lean into it hard.



Ceiling: Guardians of the Galaxy
Floor: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Tiny Tina doesn't look ghetto enough.

I question Kevin Hart in the role.

The casting seems a little strange for an action adventure aimed at 18-35 year olds who are fans of the games. There's a 14 year old and then everyone else is in their 40s, 50s and even 60s. That's certainly different, but then everything else looks formulaic.

How on earth did they get Cate Blanchett for this? Surely she doesn't need the cash.

I looked it up and Eli Roth wrote and directed this. He also directed the 2018 film The House With a Clock in Its Walls, which starred Cate Blanchett and Jack Black. I suppose that she liked working with him and that familiarity allowed him to convince her to step outside of her comfort zone.

Not sure how to feel. Looks like it could be fun but I also get this feeling it could be really disappointing.
