Rotten tomatoes is trash😂I ain’t Defending this movie but them giving this movie a 0 while acolyte is at 80 let’s you know not to trust rotten tomatoes!!
You obviously have no idea because it's obvious you just had a Boner to talk shit about the cast . Kate is the most expensive one , so expensive that she got hired for more than all of the cast combined together.
Don’t forget Eli Roth made Hostel, Cabin Fever, and Thanksgiving. He SHOULDVE been allowed to make the TRUE Borderlands experience, violent, crude, and vulgar
I'm honestly getting tierd of these adaptations always going for all star castings instead of picking based on talent and looks vs status and name recognition smh.
You could do an A-list casting if you'd just actually tried to replicate the original characters. Lilith and to the lesser extend Tannis are both sex symbols and that is obviously politically incorrect in 2024. That being said Ronald is the most baffling. Are we now at the point that even a PoC male can't be buff and tall because he is a man. Dunno. What a load of garbage anyways.
@@Grey-Wino389 those were the 2 castings i honestly thought were pretty good. and its fine to have some AAA rated actors in this movie. but when its the MAIN cast, you have to be true to the characters.
The fact that this movie has a worse Rotten Tomatoes critic and audience score right now than Madame Web is insane XD Now I’m even more curious to see how The Crow 2024 will end up.
Well I am going to go see this movie next week or so just because I wanted it to be good. And the fact it doesn’t seem verily popular, I should be able to get a very quiet screening of it in the laser ultra theatre 😂
I’m a huge borderlands fan and it pains me they picked Eli Roth. Tim Miller would have been a great choice I know he did the re shoots but I think he would have done the film justice.
Five nights at Freddy’s was absolute garbage and as a fan of the games, I was very disappointed by it and also, where is Pokémon Detective Pikachu that movie is very underrated
Yo Chris been watching since the setup was just you and that camera man 🤝🏽 I’ve been having ah hard time lately and I went to watch your video because it’s relaxing in a way and I noticed the video is 11:11 long. I took it as a sign and It actually made me smile man
Facts. D&D Honor Among Thieves was an unexpected surprise that was highly enjoyable from start to finish. Hollywood really needs to take notes from films like that and see how letting the right people work on a potentially great movie can yield the best results as opposed to hiring directors who have a poor track record of directing financially successful yet terrible movies. Seriously, what's up with that sometimes?
Cris please suffer through Mickey's Mouse Trap (renamed the mouse trap) it is a must-see dumpster fire. The first 2 minutes are something that must be seen to be believed.
YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! AS A BORDERLANDS FAN AND GAMER! THE GAMING COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE HATED THE MOVIE! CASTING KEVIN HART WAS NOT IT, ROLAND'S CHARACTER IS A SERIOUS CHARACTER AND KEVIN CAN'T DO SERIOUS.
Maybe I’m the minority here but I’ve never cared about what actors or actresses are starring in movies. I don’t think that makes or breaks anything. You can have an amazing performer have a poor part to play with horrible lines and that doesn’t make that movie good just because it’s a well known performer.
Maaaan this is gutting. I love Borderlands. But that claptrapap bucket is insane, I want one but we don't get awesome popcorn buckets here, least not in my city and I'm not flying to another country for it. Maybe they should have taken a Fallout approach and given it a series to flesh it out. I was gunna see this guess I'll just wait for digital.
Yeah, I think a series would have been a better approach as well, or maybe make it a little longer to flesh out the characters. But then again Guardians of the Galaxy probably set my expectations far too high on that front because I absolutely love the development of the characters there.
I’m a fan of the games I grew up playing them and tbh I never thought the humor and style would translate too good into a movie especially if your gonna get the casting and director wrong
Okay, this is a kind of mean but genuine question: How is Kevin Hart, one of the biggest movie stars, always an early indicator that a movie isn't going to be amazing. Surely he and Dwayne Johnson have the power and security to turn down bad scripts, but they both have said yes to some of the highest profile duds in history. Is it because their movies are just vehicles to promote their brands?
I'm going to get A LOT of hate for this, but I liked it for what it was. Sure .. it could have been better. If James Gunn or basically anyone but Eli Roth directed (and wrote) it, it would have been way better. But it wasn't the dumpster fire I was expecting given all the hate it's received. Borderlands is one of my favorite game franchises. I was surprised by Kevin Hart being cast as Roland too. I didn't see it. But he actually did a good job. Roland is a big, tough soldier but he's also kinda funny. "Aw..it's just a flesh wound." You do have to know Borderlands to get a lot of what's going on in the movie. Maybe that's a weakness. Badonkadong. The "cheap" costumes make sense if you know the game. No back story? This kinda was back story for the game. It isn't a great movie, but I love the Borderlands games and I liked the movie. It was like watching a video game movie. And now I want to go back and play Borderlands again.
I think what happened behind the scenes was that the director spent most of the money on the actors, Told the actors to wear their cosplay items from home, And the director including the executives and producers took the rest of the money for them selves
I was recently rewatching all the Guardians of the Galaxy movies the day before I saw Borderlands, and one thing that really struck me about the former was that you really sympathise with the characters. In Guardians, they did an amazing job at having you care about these misfits with very tragic pasts who come together as a family. I was expecting that sort of thing with Borderlands but it falls short on that regard. I just wish we learned more about the backstories of the characters and how really sad souls they are, but they couldn’t do that with how short it was.
The fact that a Harold and the purple crayon film got a higher rotten tomatoes critic score than this movie is kinda funny and sad. Which film did you like more 3c?

Here's what Yuri Bezmenov would say about Grace Randolph and the other activist "critics". *“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system,* when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. *For example, your leftists in the United States:* all these professors *and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more.* They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power-obviously they get offended-they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.” Step one of the "Four steps for ideological subversion". (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985) Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people. As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism,* the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. Again, *true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.* Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”* Eliminating American exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, *structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc.* National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, *and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.* ---Art equals cultural history. I know you are able to figure out how this relates to movies, tv shows and videogames and the "modern audience" narrative.
I find it sad that there’ll be people who are even more put-off about actually trying the games because of this movie. I also find it funny that the Borderlands the tell tale series looks like it’s a far better movie than this could ever be.
Okay I am A Borderlands fan and I Knew This Movie was Gonna Be bad from the Trailer There were good things that Looked good but the movie is Bad VERY VERY Bad is Disrespects Borderlands on a MASSIVE Scale
@@benmalsky9834 Flushed was the correct word for this totally inept movie. Bad casting, ruined script, shot as R-rated then cut to PG13, too many bad points to list them all. Eli was exactly the wrong director for this mess.

Yeah idk much about Borderlands, but I can recommend the first Telltale Borderlands game because it was the only game I played in the franchise. (The game is basically like an interactive movie)
2 days ago I went to a AMC and just told them "hey can I just buy the claptrap popcorn bucket please, I don't wanna watch a movie?" and yeah they let me just buy the popcorn bucket. That's all I wanted.
@@mariotheraviolieater4718 well there critics it’s the movie there rating not the games it’s only this if they want background knowledge put it in the movie there rating the movie only not the franchise along with it like for example Mario and fnaf movie are like 50 or 60 reasonable if you never played the games but border lands like damn they never played the game and it has a 4 and they judge the movie not the games like Mario and fnaf so they judged it fairly
@mariotheraviolieater4718 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or agreeing with me . Either way with today day and age people will go to the length to create a fake account just to drop a single view or two about a movie or game they never seen
They could’ve had actors nobody had heard of and if they were anything like the characters they represented it would’ve done better although scripts were bad too
For me when it comes to Kevin heart he's a lot funnier when he does stand up. Maybe the reason why he's known as the screaming short guy is because that's all he's given to work with, sometimes it really does depend on the quality of a script. Like for instance i usually don't find Melissa McCarthy to be funny but she was pretty good in the happy time murderers
Let’s be honest this movie was dead on arrival when they hired Avi Arad as producer, Eli Roth as director, making it PG13 and choosing the wrong actors for the role.
@@benmalsky9834 no i mean Fortnite had a whole poi whith 2 fan favorite characters, and that was enough to king of know whatbwas going on in the story, but the movie just was confusing and had no background.
Hey 3C I love your videos, I just found you on Letterboxd and above your name it shows a screenshot from Back To the Future, How do I do that on my account?
I remember when the announcement came out and I was excited since I was a massive fan of the game. However as soon as I saw the casting and the director I knew it was going to be a flop. The casting for this movie made absolutely no sense for the characters they were playing but I was willing to give it a chance.
They need to stop giving video game live actions to people who don’t like or understand the games or not even willing to try cause then you LOSE WHAT MADE PEOPLE LIKE THE GAME it’s SIMPLE ! You don’t have to like games but goodness there a reason why it was successful
As a massive Borderlands game fan this crushes my soul. The owner of Gearbox just destroyed their only franchise just to say he got a movie made.

@@e3vL1 You mean fleshed out. Misspelled
@@benmalsky9834 Flushed was the correct word for this totally inept movie. Bad casting, ruined script, shot as R-rated then cut to PG13, too many bad points to list them all. Eli was exactly the wrong director for this mess.
Chris you literally look like Gambit, you should cosplay as him. You look very similar, pleaseeee cosplay as him
Jack black ended his longtime friend friendship for this btw
when
@@Erki445 during the time of the trump assassintion attempt, his long time friend made a joke about it and Jack black laughed a bit ,but I’m pretty Jack black agents or team told him to end their friendship
He split the band but idk about their friendship
Jack Black ended his friendship with who?

Should've been Rated-R still I don't think that would've saved this film.
the movie brought back PTSD from Velma TV series...
@@Cryght_Vaskallion Eh, that’s too far of a statement.
Yeah idk much about Borderlands, but I can recommend the first Telltale Borderlands game because it was the only game I played in the franchise. (The game is basically like an interactive movie)
The minute I saw kevin heart is in it as a bad a$$ I knew it would be 💩
The best part about the _Borderlands_ movie is the popcorn bucket. The film itself isn't worth seeing.
2 days ago I went to a AMC and just told them "hey can I just buy the claptrap popcorn bucket please, I don't wanna watch a movie?" and yeah they let me just buy the popcorn bucket. That's all I wanted.
Bro it’s at 6% on rotten tomatoes now but it was at 0% haha
I saw this in a packed theater on Thursday, and the entire audience was having a great time. Lots of laughs and cheers.
Bro emoji movie has a higher rating on rotten tomatoes then this movie that’s crazy 💀
oh nah
That's only because we live in a time that people bandwagon and fake reviews things simply to justify their boner to talk shit.
@@proudbeanerii3810yeah half of the "reviewers" dont even watch movies or play the games they review
@@mariotheraviolieater4718 well there critics it’s the movie there rating not the games it’s only this if they want background knowledge put it in the movie there rating the movie only not the franchise along with it like for example Mario and fnaf movie are like 50 or 60 reasonable if you never played the games but border lands like damn they never played the game and it has a 4 and they judge the movie not the games like Mario and fnaf so they judged it fairly
@mariotheraviolieater4718 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or agreeing with me . Either way with today day and age people will go to the length to create a fake account just to drop a single view or two about a movie or game they never seen
Video game adaptations I loved
1 Arcane
2 Five Nights At Freddy's
3 Sonic The Hedgehog
4 Fallout
FNAF sucked so bad imo
@@mroberts4057 shut up its for the fans not jerks like you
Cate blanchett shot this movie before she shot Tar
They could’ve had actors nobody had heard of and if they were anything like the characters they represented it would’ve done better although scripts were bad too
Im worried about this…
For me when it comes to Kevin heart he's a lot funnier when he does stand up. Maybe the reason why he's known as the screaming short guy is because that's all he's given to work with, sometimes it really does depend on the quality of a script.
Like for instance i usually don't find Melissa McCarthy to be funny but she was pretty good in the happy time murderers
They've got to let Eli Roth come back, and actually make his R rated vision.
Ew no, that guy shouldn't have a job. He has sa accusations and text messages talking about underage Mary Kate and Ashley
He's the guy who ruined the movie😂😂😂😂😂😂
Name one good movie he's done....I'll wait🕰️
@@benj8930Hostel,Hostel 2,Green Inferno and Thanksgiving, You're Welcome.
What are we? Some kind of #ReleaseTheRothCut movement shit? 😂
Dunno how they didn't do cel shading/ comic book makeup
Chris you need to notice me, bro we need to see secret wars together in theaters. Been a long time. Fan would be a dream come true🤩
Go outside, make friends. Get a life.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 I’m trying to see a movie with a favorite TH-camr of mine chill bro😂
@@mrguyistheking9383 No, no, no. That applies to you. You chill. Get a life.
The fact that bro is taking time to make a hate comment is crazy. Maybe you need to go outside make friends and get a life
@@mrguyistheking9383 No, no, no. Again, that applies to you. Get a life.
The joke is that Kevin Hart took a role that should have obviously gone to Dwayne Johnson. And he’s doing his best impression.
As somebody who’s played every borderlands game at least three times, this movie was absolutely horrible and I’m so disappointed
Under 1 hour gang

Let’s be honest this movie was dead on arrival when they hired Avi Arad as producer, Eli Roth as director, making it PG13 and choosing the wrong actors for the role.
Jack black is legendary
Until he endorsed Biden n company. He dropped down a few pegs. Now he’s just kinda funny
I'm very impressed with out the visuals look! really took the Fury Road approach with the extreme saturation and comic-esque look
Minecraft is sure to be much better given who’s directing that movie, the guy behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.
Ima buy that popcorn bucket and just watch Deadpool again. 🤣
DADDY 3C!!!!
Ever just watch a trailer and immediately know a movie is gonna do bad?
Borderlands definitely deserves the Peter Parker Sadness Treatment.
You should make two ranking charts one for movies that don't have a popcorn bucket and one for movies that do have a popcorn bucket

In a fair fight Panther can take the urb that takes his powers away for a bit to fight Shang chi
You know the movie is bad when Fortnite did a better job at telling the story than a big budget film did
@@Turdburglur Is that an insult to Fortnite fans? Sure sounds like it.
@@benmalsky9834it’s not 💀. He’s clearly complimenting Fortnite 😭
@@thedestroyer5794 Sorry, I just misunderstood.
@@benmalsky9834 no i mean Fortnite had a whole poi whith 2 fan favorite characters, and that was enough to king of know whatbwas going on in the story, but the movie just was confusing and had no background.
@@Turdburglur Well, it had SOME background but most of it was through Lilith’s narration.
Hey 3C I love your videos, I just found you on Letterboxd and above your name it shows a screenshot from Back To the Future, How do I do that on my account?
Yo I was sitting 2 seats next to you dude! I’m glad we both felt the same about the movie
Add it to the list of things I grew up with and loved being absolutely destroyed
I would like to see the OG script. Thanks for saving me money.
The popcorn bucket is the only thing that saves it for me
It's full of talented stars and Kevin Hart.
With peace and love, those random sound effects are not only unnecessary, but pretty startling and sudden and also very loud.
I remember when the announcement came out and I was excited since I was a massive fan of the game. However as soon as I saw the casting and the director I knew it was going to be a flop. The casting for this movie made absolutely no sense for the characters they were playing but I was willing to give it a chance.
RDJ would’ve played a better Roland 👐🏾 No disrespect to Kev
They need to stop giving video game live actions to people who don’t like or understand the games or not even willing to try cause then you LOSE WHAT MADE PEOPLE LIKE THE GAME it’s SIMPLE ! You don’t have to like games but goodness there a reason why it was successful
Cris, great video! A small correction: "Cinephile" is spelled with an "e", not an "i". Keep up the good work! @10:32
If Craig Mazin could get the original script made without any Directors or Producers changing it, I'd watch it. Dude is a great writer imo.
Now I'm afraid of the minecraft movie
Just by seeing Chris’s expression even before watching the review I just know the movie wasn’t great despite the reviews but that’s just it
