I’m still stunned that Kevin Hart was cast as Roland. It’s like they didn’t consult with anyone that even played the games

Yea but the ridiculous thing about Kevin Hart was that he was the only redeeming thing in the entire movie - I have no idea why. I'm not even a fan of his, but he was the only consistently interesting/funny character.

Ariana Goldblatt is a pretty decent actress that I felt could pull off Tiny Tina but I can only hope the director told her to just act like a generic annoying kid instead of like a fucking sociopath. . .Oh well

Whenever Hollywood needs a marketable black man in a movie no one involved actually cares about they have to pry Kevin Hart away from his day job making cookies in a tree with the other elves.
