Eli Roth's adaptation of first-person shooter Borderlands had a fan event this week that left the majority underwhelmed.
I don't normally pay attention to reviews, but I had a feeling this was coming. When they released that one minute clip a while back, it didn't feel right, or even funny. One of the biggest pointers towards its lack of quality was the piss "joke" in the trailer. As one of the quotes mentions, it may just come off as a poor man's Guardians of the Galaxy.
This should not have been a surprise in the wake of Kevin Hart being cast as Roland. In what world did that make sense?
And to think Borderlands is a series known for its very witty and not at all embarrassingly unfunny writing
Tales from the Borderlands was amazing though and apparently this movie was an attempt to capture that.
Yea it looks tone deaf to what the original was. Stop casting Kevin hartd in things. It's like that south park rob shnieder joke.
