The casting choices are really questionable here. Looks like the casting was done to bring in a generic movie going audience that watches movies based on the cast, but this was only going to succeed by appealing to the actual fan base. Jack Black and Kevin Hart don’t need to be in every movie. I’m surprised Chris Pratt isn’t in this honestly.

Jack Black is quite fitting with the role but he isn’t the only funni guy around, can even hire the OG VA for claptrap since they just need the voice.

Probably a good idea not to hire the original voice actor for claptrap… 😅

I have no doubt that Eddings wouldn’t want to have anything to do with anything remotely close to Pitchford after that kind of treatment. If he did, that’s a toxic as fuck environment to create.

I’m not surprised. I knew this was going to be bad from the first trailer. This movie had trouble being made for a while, being shot in 2021 then had re-shoots in 2023 from another director I believe.
Also didn’t a writer want their name removed from the credits?

Not just any writer: Craig Mazin of Chernobyl and The Last of Us fame.

If from poster alone you can tell they failed to capture characters, you know it's bad

This movie’s development was a mess and it had weird casting, it was basically destined to fail

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol

Umm, why?
Let’s just say David Eddings (the VA) and Randy Pitchford are not on good terms…

They dished out a huge flop - there's no way this will pay the production cost
The only thing you need to know is that Randy Pitchford was involved. This guarantees it’s going to be a shitshow.
This was doomed from the gecko.
I could care less
Spoon bad it’s good?
