So how about a movie that I'm the target demographic of: Borderlands, Clear example of hollywood not sticking to source materials and aiming for a quick, lazy cashgrab. Thankfully it backfired. This looks to be the same recipe, throw some well known actors in, type out a generic story vaguely inspired by the source material, slap the vfx team on it and call it a day.

They are disrespecting the franchises they depict and by letting it be we show them it's okay to do so. Kids don't know what's good or how to spot a lazy cashgrab. Most of them haven't been deceived by greed yet, this could be it. I think they deserve better.
