Not pinning this thread as it’s probably nicer to focus on the best shows than the worst, but curious to see what everybody’s biggest disappointments where
I haven’t heard a single good thing about the Borderlands movie
For an average moviegoer its a below-average action comedy with bad action scenes and weird shit.
For a Borderlands fans its a steaming pile of shit, with the worst casting choices, ignoring the source material, the lore. They just used the name and the idea if the BL world to create some nonsense story with an expensive soundtrack.
They were laser-focused to create a cast made out of big names and recreate the Guardians of the Galaxy formula. Even this didn’t work, there is little to no chemistry between the main characters and the whole plot is just stupid and makes no sense.
They didn’t even fuck it up in a fun way. Super Mario Bros (the first one) was batshit crazy, but still invoked a shocking variety of details from the games, back when there really was not much to those games. All of the Uwe Boll dreck is at least camp as hell. Resident Evil knows it’s stupid, and refuses to break eye contact.
Borderlands arrives years late, pleases nobody, and takes no risks. It is of low quality. It’s not even fun to talk about.
Well, I never played the game so I went in knowing nothing. I got it for free.
From that stand point, I’d give it a 7.5/10. It was no worse than Guardians/Galaxy 3. It had some funny moments and some good action. I watched it to the end, which puts it ahead of a lot of other movies that got way less hate.
