Borderlands - Review

Borderlands, the latest movie adaptation of a video game, is in theaters now and it's....not good.

YOU CAN GET ALL MY SHOWS ON AUDIO NOW!

I formally request coked-up 80’s business Dan provides a token scene synopsis on all reviews going forward. 😂

[IronicShenaniganz]

"If I had done craft services for this movie I would have wanted my name taken off of it." Great stuff Dan

[lashier]

"Claptrap is the most annoying character ever." Sounds game accurate to me.

[LazybonesInc]

I love it when Dan Murrell rips a movie to shreds. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, it’s so damn entertaining.

James Gunn The Suicide Squad was already the perfect Borderlands movie

[cameron]

And next up on Avi Arad’s hit list is The Legend of Zelda. God help us.

The moment the trailer came out and it felt like Dollar Store GOTG, that was strike one. Then, it was announced to be PG-13. That was strike two. Then, apparently, Cate Blanchett did an interview where she said the only reason she did the movie was because she was bored from Covid. That was the final nail in the coffin to prove to me the movie was bad.

So glad that even non game people hate claptrap

[matthewhunter]

The fact that Dan couldn't even come up with a witty description at the beginning is all you need to know regarding this movie's quality.

[alexlozn]

When Dan Murrell, one of the nicest and professional critics I ever seen hates and trashes a movie, I know for sure it's bad.

[blanktom]

You're saying this movie is so bad that even Alan Smithee didn't want his name associated with it.

[writingref]

Not just Naruto, but apparently also Zelda? Nintendo protected Zelda for so long . . . and its going to go to these people. How can we stop them?

[SheldonAdama]

My favorite part was when Lilith said “it’s time to border these lands” then drew borders around all the lands. Then everyone clapped, truly a moment.

[ShaneVaughan]

Don't be sad Roger Ebert is gone, be glad because your review is a classic Ebert!

As long Arad lives, there's no hope

[Nato]

One day, Borderlands and Madame Web will be on the wheel of the Best of the Worst.

[xxvimilia]

Claptrap being as annoying as jar jar binks is funnily enough lore accurate, but they made the mistake of him being a main cast member, instead of a pathetic character that hangs out in sanctuary until his time to shine as a macguffin in the final act

[RichardDavidLive]

It's so bad that Chris Stuckmann probably won't review it.

[mrbing]

This was a thing of beauty Dan. And seriously consider doing more 80’s Coked Up Exec speed reviews, you could clean up in the TikTok/YT Shorts sphere

[jonalexander]

Cate Blanchet said she signed on to this due to going mad during the pandemic.
