Borderlands players - what is your opinion about the new movie trailer?

Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

I won't be going to theaters to see this movie. It feels forced, and the cast doesn't inspire confidence that it's going to be good.
I'm surprised about the cast. I like most of them in other films, but in this trailer, I can't really explain, but it feels off.
The actors don't look like they're having fun. I commented in another thread that they seem to be attempting to make a Guardians of the Galaxy style movie, but chemistry between the actors and director were critical for those movies.
This is what happens when you have some combination of bad casting, a bad script, and bad direction. Even good actors have a hard time producing good work in a bad environment.
("bad casting" in this case meaning "casting an actor who isn't well suited to the role")
Of all people who they could have chosen to play Claptrap... they chose Jack black.
I generally like Jack Black, but he's completely wrong for the role.
In fact, the only one I think is ok is Tiny Tina.
Interesting. In the trailer, I don't mind Jack Black (not sure if he is a good pick though), but I sure miss the complete insanity from Tina. That's what made her character so crazy and fun for me (yes, that sounds weird, even for myself).
Tina looks terrible, I don’t know what you’re talking about. This movie is going to be awful.
Well, I said "ok", which isn't great. And it's compared to the rest of them which are THE WORST CASTING CHOICES in a while.
