I've got mad respect for Cate Blanchette and Jamie Lee Curtis, however...

I WAS OK WITH BOTHER ACTORS IN THE ROLES...THE FILM ITSELF WAS TERRIBLE THOUGH.

Apparently Cate Blanchett took the part because she was desperate for work during Covid.

Yeah. It was more a criticism of the movie makers than her. She was great in that Thor movie.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (17800) 3 months ago

Totally. And I thought she was good in Indiana Jones 4.

Cate always delivers, it is just this movie wasn't good.

Sure, but that was 16 years ago. She was too old for this part.

I thought Cate actually pulled off a decent Lilith, I was surprised. Good job Cate!

Gina looked good as Moxie as well. Needed more bounce and though. :-) That girl was the incarnation of lethal sexiness in the games.

Florian looked like Krieg. Benjamin looked like Marcus. Ariana wasn't quite Tina, but cute enough to pass.

But where the project failed badly was their behavior. The games were insane, with hilarious writing. The movie makes these murderous lunatics seem boring.

Tina was an insane bombing psychopath. Krieg was out of his mind and couldn't be trusted not to rip anything and everything apart with his bare hands. Roland was a massive muscle monster with an arsenal of machine guns that he pulled out of his ass. I don't know who the hell these characters were, but it was sad.
