Critics Aren't Holding Back On Borderlands

Can fans of the "Borderlands" games be proud of the upcoming movie adaptation? The early buzz isn't promising; in fact, it seems like a damned critical fail.

Do you think "Borderlands" is doomed?

[maxmazzotti]

Mortal Kombat Annihilation is laughing at this movie now

[adriandavey]

in a world where Terry crews and Dwayne Johnson exist they still pick Kevin hart for Roland

[Wolfsheim]

The 1st warning this will be bad. Eli Roth.

[agrey]

I mean, i knew it was gonna be Bad when the cast was originally after watching the trailer i honestly dont know how this was greenlit in the first place 🫣

[johndoe]

Right, because every borderlands games main character is a 70 year old woman with dyed hair lookin like a 2024 feminist that smacked the wall at 100 miles an hour. This movie is Borderlands in name only.

When you turn an mature for adults rating into an pg-13 US and 12 Uk movie adaptation you know it’s gonna spell doom ( excuse the pun ) whilst Deadpool and Wolverine is heading to make one billion dollars before bowing out from theaters whilst this will hardly break even.

Eh not quite.

I watched the first trailer I while back, and the first thing that came to my mind was: Please don’t
They aren’t staying true to the BL series. Like we have a siren that’s using dual wielding (there was only a single char that could do that). Of course they make it for pg13 for wider audience, but none of the main games were for under 18
It really seems like our magician Randy had a new fantastic idea that wasn’t so brilliant after all

[Palaecro]

Terrible casting. As well why not release the movie in tandem with a game or DLC release? Just seems like an all around disaster move

[kculp]

Once I saw kevin hart as Roland, jack black instead of the OG actor for claptrap and no mordecai I was out.

[lokidtrixter]

How the hell do you make a "new story" from known characters that have already lived and died in universe?

[sugreev]

Kevin Hart is an awful, annoying af “comedian”. Add Eli Roth directing him, and it was going to be a dud from the get go.

[commentdouchery]

I made the joke when it first was teased that it wanted to be Suicide Squad. And I'm afraid it got exactly what it wanted.

[jamesginger]

Thanks for ruining Lilith. Can't unsee that nightmare.😮🤬

[michelians]

Tim Miller for reshoots? He's one of the worst directors of recent decades. A flop merchant. Just horrendous choices.

[nips-wqim]

From Looper to SVG! Thank you Dexter Manning!

[jeremyhall]

I hate how we got little to none backstory for the black army dude & the raider.

[centrevezgaming]

I watched doom annihilation the other night and yep it was bad on every level tough guy yelling I am the ultra nightmare and gets killed how embarrassing.

[MrWashu]

It's probably to late but if this movie is not in theaters yet I would retry the movie lilith and moxxie looked way better in the game here average my rating would be 6 out of 10.
