    I have the same feeling after watching this, as I did the Mario movie and the Angry Birds before that…

    I’m going to remain skeptical, but somewhat optimistic that this will be relatively watchable and hopefully not a complete dumpster fire like Borderlands…

      Is it really THAT bad Borderlands? I didn’t watch it yet, but looks somewhat good… characters aside, they’re BAD

        It really depends on where you draw the line e in the sand, I suppose?

        If you’re not too heavily invested in the game series (so you’re willing to accept retcons/story divergence), and are able to switch your brain off for ~100 minutes you’ve got a decent enough chance that you probably won’t hate it.

        More than anything, it just has a lot more in common with the ‘bad old days’ of video game adaptations (live action Mario Bros., anything Uwe Boll touched), than the newer crop of more faithful/reverent adaptations (Sonic, animated Mario etc.).

          The live action Super Mario Bros. was great, this a hill I will die on.
