Borderlands Reviews NUKE Worst Movie of 2024

[@disparutoo]

Borderlands movie reviews are out for the latest video game adaptation at the cinema. Game movies have not often translated to good movies, but is this a problem with the games or the people who make movies? Eli Roth seems to have no idea how to make a Borderlands movie, or a good movie in general. 2024 has had multiple movies released that could have been in contention for the worst movie of 2024. But Borderlands is definitely the one that deserves that title the most. It's amazing you can make a movie so fast paced that never stops, that has so little happen in it. But what did you think of the movie/reviews? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@HawkTheLesser]

I don't think it can be blamed on the games themselves because when all is said and done, filmmakers are filmmakers and when a shit filmmaker does a bad job we get this 🤣

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

What's more they did not get the gun play right. Borderlands is a game mostly about shooting things, creatures and people with guns, grenades and more as you watch them bleed out into the unforgiving Pandora sand. Borderlands is not about shooting it is about untamed Wild West lawless carnage. Borderlands is about reckless individuals giving in to their most base selfish carnal, sociopathic, mercenary, darwinian economic desires, not caring about consequences. Borderlands is not about of bunch of Geriatric Great Gandma's trying to recapture their imagined youth. This movie is a very surface layer sanitized politically correct look at Borderlands. That's why this movie is Total Garbage!

The avatar was meant to be that powerful. Korra was an actual character that dealt with and overcame self doubt, depression, fear, Trust issues, questions of her self worth, identity, ego, being unsocialized, living up to a legacy, and protecting an entire planet without ever getting a choice in the matter. The show is about how great relationships can make you the best version of yourself. Korra was only able to live up to the hype thanks to her friends who were also great characters that achieved growth and interesting story arcs. Imagine growing up and being told that you have the power to save the world while living in the shadow of dozens of previous avatars that were able to do so..all without having the ability to seek guidance from past avatars which made her journey more difficult than all before her.

Another clear cut indication that they actually hate fans, as in targeted hate. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for the casting to be the way it is in this movie, except for their personal hate of the fans. Borderlands has a niche fan-base anyway, even amongst gamers, so they would've been risking nothing to cast young upcoming actors AND they would be cheaper.

I STILL want to know why a pensioner was cast as Lillith, she is late 20's at worst in the games, where the feck are we getting grandma lillith from? And to be fair, Lillith does end up with super powers as a Siren in the game

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Miscasting aside, the movie was shot in 2020, it just spent 4 years in production hell. Cate Blanchett was 51 then. If you think a 51 year old is a "pensioner", boy do I have a surprise for you....

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

Lilith already has superpowers, that's the whole point in being a Siren, she just gets more when they open the first vault and Eridium starts sprouting across the planet, which she consumes for temporary powerups.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

@@TF2CrunchyFrog There are 70 year olds who look about as spry as Cate. No amount of CGI and makeup can hide that she ain't exactly in her twenties - as if they lacked young actresses who'd rock red hair and a pushup bra... And with Tannis they didn't even try. She's not supposed to be more than like 7 years older than the original Vault Hunters. Even added a good 10 years to not-so-tiny Tina. And poor Kevin is TINY irl, dunno what they wanted to achieve casting him instead of a buff 2m tall dude.

[@gordonfreeman1163]

@@ytubestolemyhandle I'm pretty sure the movie is aligned with 3's canon which states that a true Siren's powers can be inherited semi-randomly if the original Siren dies. So she could've inherited these too. Also, she's even more powerful in the movie than in any of the games (maybe except 3's cringeworthy ending).

[@gunnerycaptain6158]

Whoa @ 13:34, "they didn't understand why they were going through the actions; they thought the actions were enough." Slow down, let me get all of that down. 😃 Pure Gold!

"The women are in charge of everything and the men are only there to be humiliated". In other words, Borderlands 3 and probably 4 as well. I don't know how many careers this POS movie will end, but I hope the answer is "All of them".

Is Borderlands 3 "woke"? I found it to be pretty bland (and I didn't really pay attention because of it), but I don't remember it going anywhere with identity politics.

I will say it again Taika Waititi madevsome good films earlier in his career. But his shite phase started after his divorce (and begore & during his second marriage). His ex wife was a producer on his earlier films and she was obviously a governor on his earlier films. Once he dumped her, and was no longer using her professionally as a producer (Jo Jo Rabbit was the last), thats when his shite started.

Movie's like this really get to me. My son and I have LOVED the borderland games and we have played them all together since the first one, it could be said they are some of our favorite games (Borderlands 2 The Handsome Jack Collection, I'm talking about you). We were so excited for this movie, and I didn't even know they had made a borderlands movie when my son called me and said "Hey dad, get ready I'm taking you to the movies this coming Friday", I expected him to say we were going to watch the new Deadpool movie but I became really happy when he said it was Borderlands. I purposely avoided reviews and any/all spoilers so as to not ruin the movie. Fast forward to Friday and we were so upset, we almost walked out of the movie a couple times but we finished it, while looking at our watches to see how much was left before we could go home. This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched.

[@eddielombardo]

Well, they kinda got the sirens right, but the thing about them is that they already know they have powers & everybody knows how powerful those women are despite there being so few of them. If Lilith discovers she has powers in the movie, that's just lazy writing relying on the "I learned the power was already inside of me" trope. She should already be aware of it but yet needs help hunting for the alien vault.

[@Legion-p6y]

They chose those actors on purpose???

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

I'm surprised they agreed to be in the movie lol Paycheck must've been good. Did "pitch meetings" tackle this one yet?

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

They were the only attention-starved enough to show up on casting during covid, probably. They'd have better luck recruiting cosplayers tho. Not that it would help the movie much because this is trash top to bottom, not just the cast.

[@beowulfsrevenge4369]

Imagine my surprise, the modern adaptation of Borderlands with a terrible cast, made for a modern audience is utter crap.... Who could have seen this coming? Oh yeah, everyone.

[@leon.benedict]

I worked in some of the set design and building. Most of my collegues were fans of the games and we were having a shitload of fun trying to figure out where everything will fit, or what the scene is gonna be like which we were building certain sets for. We even agreed to do a watch party when it finally came out and said we would drink every time we saw something we built. When the first trailer came out two of them relapsed into their drug habits. Might be unrelated, but thats probably the only entertaining thing to come out of this movie.

[@esdeathsenpai5128]

Getting a comedian to play Roland just shows a lack of understanding of the character. The reason Tina voicing him in The Assault on Dragonkeep was so funny is because he is someone who goes out of his way to be overly serious and takes his roles seriously to a fault

[@TheArmyofHades]

More like grandmother and nope....i dont get how you f@ck up this casting i mean Roland? Denzel Washington or Idris Elba both 1000 times better options and if anyone in their right mind sits and thinks a little will find a ton of better options. Kevin heart is good for claptrap in this verse.

I told people, claiming that Madame Webb would be the worst movie of 2024 back in February was WAY too premature. Also, Madame Webb and Warcraft, both hated movies, got a surge of viewership when they dropped on Netflix for some reason. (Warcraft dropped on there around five weeks ago, according to Nielsen.)

[@majorgear1021]

Hey! Warcraft was actually good. I rewatch it every year.

[@bryandedon7459]

I don't mind warcraft. I don't know the games that well though to know how bad they messed up. As a movie it was fun enough. But I think something like madame web got a surge of viewers bc people want to see how bad it really is. Can't stop looking at a train wreck kind of thing. The same will probably happen with borderlands once it goes on streaming.
