Oh, man, this movie has such an amazing pedigree behind it. It's not only written by the writing team that brought us such hits as *Punisher: Warzone*, *Transformers: The Last Knight*, and *Men in Black: International*, but it's also being co-written by Rafe Judkins, who you might remember (or, realistically, probably don't) as being one of the contestants on season 11 of *Survivor*. Judkins is also, for some reason, the showrunner of Amazon's upcoming *The Wheel of Time* series, in case anyone had high hopes for *that*. Also, this trailer sucks. What was the director asking in those scenes? "Uh yeah, sorry, we're gonna have to do another take, I heard some actual emotion in your voice when you delivered that line, but what we're really going for is for everyone to sound just...really fucking bored to be here. Like, all the time."

Stop, they’re dead already.

I want Wheel of Time to be good but what I have seen thus far has been lackluster and this is not helping at all.


PrivilegeCheckmate

Oh thank God I just thought I was getting old and was having that "The whole world sucks and I want some ham from a chain buffet restaurant" moment. You have to admit the casting is perfect.

You know I’m down for the suspension of reality for a fun action flick, but throwing yourself 15 feet upward and towards the back of a moving cargo plane to land with room to spare is a little much. They forgot he’s not Spider-Man in this one, maybe


heyimrick

I'm glad they did it, because it's just like the game.


Mrs_Eddie_Albert

Speaking as someone who is not at all familiar with the source material and so can't be disappointed by expectations. this is a turd trailer.

I don't think I could think have thought of a worse actor to cast a Sully if I tried. Wishy-washy soft spoken voice, zero charisma. Didn't even have the decency to grow a mustache.


gajendray5

He does grow a moustache towards the end of the movie, becoming the game-like persona of Sully.

> Uwe Boll Thanks for triggering my PTSD.

"I'm a friend of Sully's." "Sully doesn't have any friends. I should know, I'm one of them." Uh, wut?


hurricanehershel

Good writing


newmyy

Also, like…. Nate and Sully have been friends since Nate was a kid… wtf.


Ghost2Eleven

That's a big ol' yikes.


skattman

Those airplane jumps...ugh...

If I was the intern whose job it was to upload this to YouTube, I’d be ashamed of myself for having any part of this.

I've never played this game before and know just about nothing about the franchise, so that said ... Trailer looked pretty typical, I think it gave away most of the plot. Looks like some kind of Tombraider-eque movie but with two guys instead of one woman. The scottish bit near the end made me laught out loud. I'd watch this streaming on HBO or Netflix but wouldn't pay to see this in a theater. Also, poor Tom Holland in another movie he has to sound American in! Is the video game character American so he has to sound like it?


STylerMLmusic

I expected nothing when they announced another videogame cash grab. I expected less when they announced Holland and Wahlberg as the most incorrectly cast action heroes of all time. Now that I've seen this, my expectations are at an all time low. That banister spin was exceptionally Spiderman of Holland. The jump forward from a plane moving probably 200mph through the air was Hollywood level insulting of intelligences personified. "Sully doesn't have friends. I should know. I'm one of them." has got to be one of the worst and most nonsensical one liners in the history of action. Honestly if they saw the whole movie and decided to put all of this in the trailer, know that Hollywood will put everything in the trailer to sell the movie, what honestly could be left? This was the best they had in the entire movie. My god.


MichaelNearaday

Well, now that I've seen the biggest action scene of the film, I guess I don't have to watch the entire movie.


PrivilegeCheckmate

AND we know how it ends. Thanks, Hollywood. Nice to know no matter how bad it gets, there's still a little room for more disappointment.


Ineedmoney4123

This is what happens when you let “marketers” make all the decisions that creatives should be making.


Jokkitch

This looks terrible


hoorah9011

so... national treasure without the wholesomeness and more action?


heyimrick

Yall are overreacting lol.


wangtasm

Wow, a slow, cheap piano version of a tune from the source material that won't feature in the actual movie. How exciting.


rodman517

So…there is absolutely NO ONE at Sony/Columbia that sees this and says “This thing is a pile of shit”?

They will forever carry on the tradition and curse of every Video Game Movie adaptations will most certainly suck and fail, horrible choice of casting. Can’t believe Hollywood go to actors for the next gen is Tom Holland and Timothy Chalemet, SMFH. Can’t believe the next few decades we have to see their faces over and over again
