no crow for you, no worries. That shyt looks horrible. It's technicolor Jumanji.

Part of me thinks they cast Kevin Hart thinking they could parlay it into getting Dwayne in to play Brick. Which mighta hit tbh. But... as it is now? Old-ass Lilith, old-ass Tannis, Jack Black as Claptrap... a plot to make Tiny Tina the 'chosen one' or something? nah. They coulda kept this.
They shoulda kept this.

they chose to mark garbage then slap some names on it

Borderlands Movie First Impressions Call It 'Lifeless' And 'Really Bad' http://dlvr.it/TBd4hV

Borderlands, which hits theaters around the country on August 9, is based on the popular looter shooters developed by Gearbox and published by 2K Games. First announced back in 2020, the PG-13-rated live-action movie directed by Eli Roth spent years in production hell. And every time we got a peek at it, the movie looked pretty bad! But there was always a chance that the fully finished film would surprise us all and be amazing. Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case, based on the overwhelmingly negative first impressions online.

“Borderlands is a disaster,” posted critic Adriano Caporusso. “Filled with every cliché you can ponder, this film swaps the mayhem and imagination of the games for a lifeless, unfunny, and visually repulsive dud with annoying characters and a cast with not one ounce of chemistry.”

Matthew Simpson, a critic at Movies We Texted About, posted: “[The movie] is really bad. I really wanted to like it, but an uninspired plot + several phoned-in performances + being stuck in a weird place where it looks both expensive and cheap at the same time make it a huge misfire.” Simpson did offer one positive note, saying Jack Black is “great” in the film and the only actor who “matches the energy of the games.”

“Borderlands feels like what an out-of-touch executive thinks the ‘cool kids’ find appealing,” tweeted film critic Edgar Ortega. “There is not a single earnest character moment here, just obnoxious quips that feel dated as soon as they leave the actors’ mouths. It’s not even so bad it’s good, just a complete mess.”

“Borderlands is easily one of the worst movies of the year,” posted critic Shak Lambert. “Fans will be pissed off with how much they get the characters wrong (especially Tina) [and] casual moviegoers will be unimpressed at how much it feels like a half-baked [Guardians of the Galaxy] rip-off.”

Similarly, freelance film critic Sean Patrick Kelly posted that while the film has an “exceptional level of detail for those who have played the video games,” it’s likely that most people will still accuse it of “being a Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off.”

Eli Roth directed this? He's one of the worst directors out there period. He'll never get a big budget movie again, thank God.

Video game movies and Tv shows was having a good run too. Halo and this movie is stinking things up.
