soldier Roland (played by Kevin Hart) and a berserker named Krieg (played by Florian Munteanu).

It turns out Tina might be the key to some interdimensional treasure her father wants to get his hands on, and Lilith enlists the help of her friends Tannis (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) and Moxxi (played by Gina Gershon) to find a way to save the girl.

These games have a huge fanbase who will either be excited to see familiar characters on screen or more likely will criticize the film online for not being exactly like a 15-year-old video game.

Having not played the game, I can say that it is fun to watch but feels indistinguishable from similar jokes, just with a different cast.

The screenplay by Roth and Joe Crombie is occasionally funny, and much of the best lines and physical comedy belong to the triangular robot Claptrap (voiced by Jack Black).

Kevin Hart, for once, doesn't play himself but actually inhabits his stern-faced soldier character, and I'm all for it.

I think I'm coming around to mid-career Hart, who seems to have learned that you don't need to scream all your dialogue to command attention.

As Edina Monsoon once said, 'My whole body just hangs off these cheekbones,' and that's how I experienced Blanchett in this film.

As the ginger-haired bounty hunter, Blanchett is fun without cracking a smile, full of references like being 'too old for this [expletive],' echoing Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon.

She could cut a man with those cheekbones alone, but she makes a good physical action hero with balletic movement.

I can see why she was attracted to this silly but fun video game film, with three generations of strong female leads, playing off Greenblatt (the human daughter from the film) and icon Jamie Lee Curtis.

Visually, the film is constantly moving, and taking a few moments' pause might have allowed us to connect with and care about its characters more.
