The Borderlands Movie Social Reactions Are Out And It's Not Looking Good

You might not be aware, but Eli Roth directed a Borderlands movie based on the popular video game franchise and it comes out this week. The official review embargo lifts on August 8, however, social impressions were free to run wild and they are not the best.

The film doesn't adapt any specific Borderlands story but takes place in the world of Pandora and within the lore of the land. A major recognizable element is Jack Black as Claptrap, the game's robotic guide, and your character's sidekick. The main observation seems to be the comparison between that and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which was a reinvention of the team from the comics.

Borderlands is easily one of the worst movies of the year. Fans will be pissed off with how much they get the characters wrong (especially Tina), casual moviegoers will be unimpressed at how much it feels like a half-baked GOTG ripoff.

The social media embargo has now lifted and I can say that #BorderlandsMovie has an exceptional level of detail for those who have played the video games, but I don't know if that's enough to stop people from accusing it of being a Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off. pic.twitter.com/PiShS2NVyC — Sean Patrick Kelly (@SKonMovies) August 7, 2024

Borderlands feels like what an out of touch executive thinks the “cool kids” find appealing. 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. pic.twitter.com/M7WCc1cUj3 — Edgar Ortega (@edgorteg) August 7, 2024

Oh hey I can tell you I’ve seen #BorderlandsMovie now and that it’s 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 a the same time make it a huge misfire. pic.twitter.com/nek6r0CuTm — Matthew Simpson (@SmatthewAF) August 7, 2024

Not everything was bleak for the would-be-tentpole, end-of-summer feature. There were some actual positive impressions. Fans praised Jack Black and Cate Blanchett's performances and fans of the franchise will love the Easter eggs.Continue Reading at GameSpot
