Borderlands

What the hell did I just watch…extremely poor, sorry excuse for a Borderlands adaptation. A permanent stain on the franchise that tarnishes its image.

i felt like the action was good but casting was off… kevin hart did not need to be in this movie 😭 if you played the games it’ll be disappointing but i’d probably put this on in the background. i think it tried to be guardians of the galaxy so hard but fell very short

Tis not THAT bad

8/10 - definitely saw the twist coming, but enjoyable nevertheless.

This movie was so good! I really liked the cast and the plot.

Rated: 4.7/10 ⭐️

Threw this on for National Video Game Day since I’ve played the games. It captures the neon style but completely misses the soul and humor.

What Worked:
• Blanchett honestly looks incredible as Lilith, bringing way more star power than the script deserves.
• The colorful production design on Pandora completely pops with that chaotic wasteland vibe.
• Quick gun-slinging action beats are super fun when characters actually cut loose.

The Friction:
• The underground maze hunting part in the middle really dragged for me.
• Jack Black’s voicing of Claptrap honestly felt a bit too forced and didn’t always gel for me.
• Toning things down for a PG-13 rating took away the unhinged edge that defines the franchise.

Verdict:
Watch for mindless, colorful background noise. Skip if you want depth or actual humor.
