This makes me actually want to see it…It’s reviewing as one of the worst movies ever made. Well donewell done.

All critics agree Borderlands is a movie about 1 hour and 40 minutes long.

Probably the worst use of a talented actor/actress in recent years...
I have no idea how they got Blanchett to show up in that movie.

Ironic how much shit Jamie Lee Curtis talked about marvel movies only to do something like this isn't it?

I enjoyed Flatliners and that was at 4% on RT so I’ll still see this on the GOAT site when it gets uploaded.

Fuck her…she could have turned the role down. Don’t feel bad for an actor or actress. They read the script. She made that bed, let her sleep in it.

I hope they all go and accept their Golden Raspberry awards in person, it’s always funny when they do that.

Ah, a movie made by executives who have never seen a movie or played a video game. Excellent.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Borderlands was a low risk movie, it would impress more people on something like a streaming service, I think movies in theaters have a way where they are important than others, Borderlands veterans obviously have different opinions.

How do you do Borderlands without it being rated R? PG13 is a joke. This serious is violent and full of adult humor.
It has Kevin Hart so that's an instant pass.
The girl who plays Tina didn't want to play the part as Tina but instead based it on Harley Quinn and they went ahead and put that info out like it was a good thing and that they are proud of it. Fucking stupid.
Jack Black was completely unnecessary and the actual Clap Trap voice actor would have been great.
This is my favorite shooter series and I am not even interested in pirating this shit bag of a movie.

Nah, middle school humor works just fine in PG13.
And I say that as a fan of Borderlands humor.

No idea how they thought this was a good idea. Anyone who actually likes Borderlands is going to stay far away, and anyone low IQ enough to be entertained doesn't even know what Borderlands is.

Did you play the same series as the rest of us? The number of dicks jokes, sex talk, innuendo, and graphic violence does not translate to PG-13 and takes some authenticity out of the adaptation to the screen surely.

To be fair It's not like she had a gun to her head...She could've said no.
Instead she chose this crap script.Or well her agent...in which case she should fire him/her yesterday.
I've played borderlands and I really do remember it being pg-13 but skirting the line as close as possible levels of humor. You can get away with pretty heavy innuendo and implied violence in pg-13, you just can't say certain words.
I genuinely can't believe this movie got made. So many reasons why this series makes no sense to make a movie out of and I have no idea with how many people that are involved in bringing a movie to market that it actually went the distance. Beyond baffling.

I get what you are saying but it's not always about money, it's about integrity. It's about the art.
Edit: damn that sounds pretentious as fuck but i stand to my point, lol.

Why not just make an original movie? This tells you what these moviemaker types think about people who play games: that we'll gobble up whatever they produce because [insert game franchise here] is being adapted into a movie.
They think we're lowest common denominator.

I agree. To me, everything non-gameplay was a self-aware bit of slapstick humour designed to get a chuckle between bits of gameplay. It didn't take itself seriously, but at first glance you might think it did.
That was always going to be difficult to make work as a movie, and when someone actually try it you realise it wasn't worth the effort.
This sounds more like a write off or laundering operation than an attempt at some form of art or entertainment.

All these people have bad agents or did this as a favor for someone, no doubt.

That's one way of choosing what to watch, another would be to 'take a crazy gamble' on those that score 90%+

I think I made it less than 10 mins into MH before I noped out. The trailer looked awful and I gave it a shot just because I loved Tony Jaa in Ong Bak and The Protector, but yeah that was straight up, no redeeming value garbage tier movie.
Milla and her husband gotta stop buying video game licenses only to ruin them.
