We’re lower than a day away from the premiere of the Borderlands film primarily based on the violent, treasure-hunting comedy journey video games from Gearbox Software program. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of its opinions are wishing it by no means went past its gaming section.
Rotten Tomatoes rounded up 34 opinions of Eli Roth’s adaptation of the Borderlands video games and up to now, it’s earned a freshness score of three %. Solely one of many included critics have given the film a optimistic overview.
So what are the remainder of the critics really saying about this film? Properly, their phrases are unkind and that’s being beneficiant.
-
“…a fast web search of photos from Borderlands video games yields better-rendered outcomes.” – Bob Strauss, The San Francisco Chronicle
-
“…a horrendous waste of time, expertise and pixels.” – David Worry, Rolling Stone
-
“…monotonous…” – Nick Schager, The Every day Beast
-
“…an inexpensive knockoff…” – Jake Kleinman, Inverse
-
“…the definitive worst movie of Roth’s profession…” Alison Foreman, IndieWire
-
“…one of many worst big-budget films I’ve seen shortly.” – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo
-
“…clunky course…lifeless…cringeworthy makes an attempt at witty quips…” Billie Melissa, Males’s Journal
So there you go. It’s settled. For those who’re itching for a grown-up motion comedy primarily based on a satiric journey franchise that mocks the very medium by which it exists, simply go see Deadpool & Wolverine once more.
