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 :)
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 🤣
The irony of Jamie Lee Curtis trashing the MCU, then doing the impossible and ending up in something that might be worse than anything they've relased 😂

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!
Fan service died around 2015 in games and movies. At least there is some hope, people are finally, at long last starting to notice. That's the first step to a crash, then the inevitable rebirth.

I so badly wanna say that they kinda established that one could get their powers mid life when one of the other sirens die, but I don't want to defend this movie.
That actually kinda makes sense. Or it could, anyway. If powers can arise during one fundamental change to your biochemistry (puberty), they could arise during another (menopause). /shrug
@@crhkrebsYep that's the thing. If you've never played the game a movie is trying to adapt you can't know if it's a good adaptation. But you can, however, know if a movie is bad without knowing the source material.
I think Roth was hoping for "Guardians of the Galaxy" but once he saw how it was running off the road, he tried for "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". Once the car stopped rolling and landed on its roof, he wound up with "The Marvels".
The hero learns that she can now teleport herself and her friends... Also the hero: "Oh no, me and my friends are surrounded... better not teleport us out of here or anything..."
Probably because he's actually the protagonist. Do you forget you're the antagonist in Borderlands? It's one of the few things I actually remember about it. I didn't play it for very long.
No. Because to find the reason for that I would need to reduce the amount of brain cells to the extent that would be lethal for any regular human being who is not Hollywood producer
18:25 Wait did you just say Tannis is pointless? They made *_Tannis_* pointless? The whole thing about the Vault Hunters is that they came to Pandora _specifically_ to look for the vault because they wanted riches and fame. In order to do that it was required to get help from Tannis because she's the only one on the planet who has done enough research to actually understand the riddle behind how to find the vault, let alone open the damn thing. This movie doesn't exist and I look forward to forgetting it.
@@coyoteone6197 Wake up brother! They're literally trying to kill us! Looking at boobs is supposed to extend your lifespan, so by denying us the eye candy they're literally assaulting us! /s
MeToo was an attack by old actresses on young actresses. Their goal was to prevent young attractive females from getting roles (and blame it on men of course). We can see it was successful.
"She finds out that she has super powers and then gets given even more super powers." "The only way she can be defeated in a fight, is if she defeats herself." This isn't just ripping off Captain Marvel, its also ripping off Legend of Korra.
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.
@@BD-or5yh Doesn't change the fact that she was her own worst enemy and was a master of three of the four elements before she could even use the toilet by herself. She was litterally sheltered and spoiled for her entire childhood and the writers couldn't be bothered to think of a reason until season 3.
I don't know about that, Wayne's legionnaire role, in the greatest story ever told,where he utters the line truly,he was the son of god,in a broad American accent takes some beating
Fun fact, a decent amount of doctors and lawyers pass their classes due to chat gpt anymore, leading to a higher pool of unqualified specialists. Now that terrifying thought aside. Im sure that has some similarities to the script of this movie and anyone incharge of it.
With so many female-bosses, it's amazing that RT does not protect that movie from the public critics. Maybe the producers didn't paid the _protection money._
i really thought the last line would be "I have something men like you will never have....FAMILY." and then vin deisel would appear in his charger and drive over him.
@@jacksonconstantine5740 right. Right. I was mistaking Jamie Lee Curtis for the actress playing Lilith, but watching the clips again, yeah, Curtis is definitely playing Tannis
Lilith should've been like 25, Tannis in her thirties maybe a little older (she only becomes a siren rather late) and Tiny Tina should be like, 4, but who knows since there's not enough story posted on the internet to even guess when the plot is supposed to be happening. Also, wtf did I hear that right about them making Tiny Tina into a siren? I wish these investors started suing the filmmakers for criminal incompetence and/or industrial sabotage. No other way to clean that rotten industry up.
I heard even kotaku gave this a bad review. I don't know what is happening, did hell freeze over? I also laugh my ass off how they aged up all these powerful women to just be elderly. They had a woman skilled in building stuff and one with magical powers. That's the modern entertainment wet dream! Seriously what is going on in Hollywood, are they ok? The strangeness of this has somehow pierced through my apathy.
They have "progressed" to the point they dont want to cast young attractive women anymore. Look at what theyre pushing in movies this year. We get Dune with whats her face who looks average, Sophia Boutella in Rebel Moon who is definitely not attractive. Its happening in video games too. Studios intentionally making their characters look worse (thanks sweet baby inc) and developers that do put hot chicks in their games get massive backlash from the progressive crowd. Its nuts.
@@TheArmyofHades I agree. Can't really replace the "main character" because the whole concept of being the main character in a game is that you are whoever you imagine yourself to be. And let's be honest, not a single one of us would imagine ourselves being an elderly adventurer in a game like that unless it was intended to be ridiculous. I would rather say that 2) A main character that is completely tone deaf to what players would want, showing they have no idea who their player-base or fan-base even is.
The main characters of the games are the vault hunters, and in the movie they become just that. Not saying that to defend the movie, but rather to dispel your delusions.
@@TheArmyofHadesthey were missing the sniper, mordecai and the brawler, brick. Nor the main villain, Handsome Jack. I'm gonna assume they don't have Moxxi or recast her uglified due to 'the male gaze'.
Everything about this movie looks awful. The horrible miscasting, the flat humor, the cheesy costumes, the PG-13 rating, all of it. Also, would you make a Borderlands movie about a decade after it peaked in popularity (especially after the best forgotten Tiny Tina’s Wonderland)? And if that wasn’t dumb enough, why would focus the entire plot around Tiny Tina, one of the most grating video game characters of all time?
It is losing to a movie based on a novel from the author who was basically modern day DAnielle Steele, she was at the tippy top of every romance fan's list of auto buy authors, I think Emily Henry and Allie Hazelwood are right after. But then Booktube decided to cancel her, looks like their cancellatin efforts were futile.
"why would focus the entire plot around Tiny Tina" Because Tiny Tina is hilarious and adorable, even though she does have a mild case of the insanities.
@@MemoristCed I think its more to do with these older and established actresses demanding more parts for themselves. There have been complaints from older actresses for decades that once they reach a certain age that their roles dry up and they become invisible. They have been fighting for so long to make sure they still get paid.
Lilith looks bored. Tiny Tina isn't batshit crazy. Tannis is like Doc from Back to the Future. Roland is a puny whiner. And I thought B3 was the lowest this franchise could drop.
At least Borderlands 3 has some redeemable qualities such as the gameplay and funny enough, the stories of the DLCs are better than that of the main game. But this? Even for a million dollars, I can’t tell a singular good thing about the movie.
> And I thought B3 was the lowest this franchise could drop. Haha! It can always go lower. I predict B4 will be quite the banger when it comes to getting low.
@@protostnl6369 The love and tentacles dlc was slow ass that never went anywhere. The end was just completely anticlimactic with that easy ass boss. The others were fine though.

Remind me though, is Borderland 3 "woke"? Because I remember it being really bland and forgettable, but I don't remember seeing identity politics in it.
If Lilith doesn't know she is a Siren.. (so before BL1) and Tannis is that old.. (so after BL3 and her being a Siren too) with Tina looking like straight from BL3 and living Roland (so before BL2). With Krieg (so after or during BL2) without any Maya reference... What in the friggin plot was this movie BASED ON?! It's like they made a very poor AI to write the script based on a Wiki characters page.
"Hey ChatGPT, write me a script for a Borderlands movie but make sure nothing makes sense lore-wise and the actors don't fit their roles even remotely. Also make the actors 30 years older than the characters they are playing." As soon as I saw the trailer I knew the movie was going to be hot garbage.
This is one of those movies where they probably could have found a better cast if they had gone to a Comic-Con looking for cosplayers to fill those roles
AVI ARAD has ruined so far... * Borderlands * Daredevil (2003) * The Punisher (2004) * Elektra (2005) * Fantastic Four (2005) * X-Men: The Last Stand * Spider-Man 3 * Bratz (2007) * Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance * The Amazing Spider-Man 2 * Ghost in the Shell (2017) * Venom: Let There Be Carnage * Uncharted (2022) * Morbius And now he's gonna ruin... * Kraven the Hunter * Venom The Last Dance * The Legend of Zelda * Naruto As long Arad lives, there's no hope
Action is Crap People are Old Story is off and incorrect Characters misrepresented Childish movie levels Forced humour Clearly made by people who have never laid eyes on borderlands
I mean, at least they cast Jack Black rather than Seth Rogan. I can tolerate Jack, but I despise Seth, yet Seth Rogan seems to get cast for ALL "irreverent comedy relief character"s
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. As a final and ultimate finger to fans, they failed to cast either of Claptrap's voices which is one the most recognizable and consistently appearing characters from the game.
Funny things is, the folks in charge of the Borderlands IP probably thought this was awesomeness. And considering how bad and cringe the story of Borderlands 3 is, is it any wonder?
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
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....
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.
@@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.
@@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).
i am huge borderlands fan. It didn;t hurt me when hollywood destroyed willow, rings of power, batman, halo, TLOU, velma and probably like 10 more franchises that didn't deserve it... But this one... This one stings. This garbage isn't even a cashgrab. It's a cheap Uwe Boll level of tax writeoff. I wish backlash would be strong enough to make lionsgate recuperate loses for long years.
from another borderlands fan, the series was dead for a long time. borderlands 3 was the begining, and new tales completely finished it off. the movie is just the cherry on top.
@@maxmazzotti6651 uwe boll would have probably made better, atleast his movies, try to capture the games, how it works, now thats a different thing, as long as its in the correct ratio for tax reductions
"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.
This movie inexplicably bad. Kevin hart and Jack black voices really pull you out in a movie like this. Kate Blanchett and key to everything girl were really bad. It's hard to believe someone let this reach the public.
making that movie must have been torture for the staff. Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart and Jamie Lee Curtis in the same set? the smugness, the entitlement, the ego.... and the overestimated talent. Yes i said it, they are not talented, they are just popular.... well, two of them are.
@@michaelmarsh1723 Most people know her as Galadriel from Lord of the Rings and that's about it. She was also in Thor: Ragnarok where IMO she seemed like she was having fun but she was still pushing it with her age
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.
Taking a wild guess... ...the writers, director, and producers never played the game nor did any research into the original source material. Crap...I guessed correctly.
It’s not woke, it’s just another bad video game movie in a rough line of bad video game movies since the 90s thanks to super Mario 93, MK Annihilation, and every adaptation by Uwe Boll

"You'll see people simply imitating things from the past that they didn't understand, but because they do not have life experience all their information comes from watching these previous things." Bruh, sounds like AI hahaha
Roland and Lilith, did anyone playing Borderlands ever imagined those two being played by a barely manly manlet and someone's aunt in live action form?
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
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.
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! Something I've been trying to say, but you said much more succinct here! Also the line about thinking they're in the company of giants when they are only imitating them (and poorly at that). Great stuff!
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.
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.
You'd be surprised how many people are being influenced by the re-imagination of traditional material, even when they didn't watch it. Rest assured the makers know.
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.
8 minutes in to the video and I've only just realised Cate Blanchett isn't Kate Beckinsale. Perhaps the studio made the same mistake? No one wants to see Blanchett. Everyone wants to see Beckinsale, but she wouldn't appear in this trash.
Check box cast. Check box story. Check box director. Going for the "see we're hip" check box. I'd rather watch Blind Golf while folding my laundry than watch this mess.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
It wasn't GREAT but warcraft wasn't THAT terrible Or maybe our perspective on just how bad a piece of media can get have been consistently refreshed on an ever decreasing bottom line
I don't think Tiny Tina would have been whining about having monster pee sprayed at her. She prolly would have jumped out of the vehicle and went after the damn thing chucking bombs at it.
@@nickkoyle3599 And even then it probably would've been an after thought. Something like "I wonder what this weird taste in my mouth is?" before completely forgetting about it and going back to exploding things.
@timothymarzelli3874 If memory serves, it was in the "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage" DLC. When Tina discovers the concessions have oatmeal raisin instead of chocolate chip, she has an emotional breakdown and sends you around the stadium blowing up the vending machines.
@@AngusKart its actually been killed by super hero movies. sorry but when marvel started to become comic comedies. all comedies started shifting to that formula
Well... to be fair, that is probably what the world looks like if they were put in charge of everything. Socialism until society falls, because empathetic people will gladly sacrifice YOUR comfort for someone else's they deem more worthy than those who work hard and keep business moving.
The casting in this movie is some of the worst I have ever seen. It’s like it was intentionally bad, is someone holding a grudge against the property or what?
"Women are in charge of literally everything in this universe, and the men are literally there to be humiliated..." So... it's Borderlands 3 - The Movie
MoistCr1TiKal's description I think best sums it up: "it's like Randy Pitchford had a wet dream about Borderlands and made this by piecing together what few foggy memories of his dream he could recall."
She discovered she hasn't been truly relevant since the LOTR trilogy and 55 years old is the perfect age for this role though miscasting seems to be a big theme for this particular movie.
"You want a closed mind when it comes to the right things...why would you want an open mind when it comes to evil?" Bang on the mark. Best thing I've heard on you tube in some considerable time.
I went to see the movie because I saw all the bad reviews. Brought my best friend along and told him its supposed to be bad. He doesnt know anything about Borderlands and I love the franchise. Long story short the movie was so bad that even my friend asked me what the hell this BS is.

18:25 Wait did you just say Tannis is pointless? They made *_Tannis_* pointless?
The whole thing about the Vault Hunters is that they came to Pandora _specifically_ to look for the vault because they wanted riches and fame.
In order to do that it was required to get help from Tannis because she's the only one on the planet who has done enough research to actually understand the riddle behind how to find the vault, let alone open the damn thing.
This movie doesn't exist and I look forward to forgetting it.

Middle-aged women... IN SPAAAAACE
Have Hollywood become so deranged now that being young is considered offensive? Why the hell was Lilith played by a 55 year old?
Something something male gaze.
@@coyoteone6197 Wake up brother! They're literally trying to kill us! Looking at boobs is supposed to extend your lifespan, so by denying us the eye candy they're literally assaulting us! /s
They don't want to create characters that men will be attracted to anymore. Why? I have no idea
because MILFs are en vogue? I dunno, beats me
MeToo was an attack by old actresses on young actresses.
Their goal was to prevent young attractive females from getting roles (and blame it on men of course).
We can see it was successful.
"She finds out that she has super powers and then gets given even more super powers."
"The only way she can be defeated in a fight, is if she defeats herself."
This isn't just ripping off Captain Marvel, its also ripping off Legend of Korra.
My god, you went searching for trash 🗑 in the worst dumpster there is "I could do better than your childhood favorite writer" one.
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.
@@BD-or5yh Doesn't change the fact that she was her own worst enemy and was a master of three of the four elements before she could even use the toilet by herself. She was litterally sheltered and spoiled for her entire childhood and the writers couldn't be bothered to think of a reason until season 3.
@@BD-or5yhExcept Legend of Whorra does none of that and instead actively destroys the lore and world-building The Last Airbender created.
@@BD-or5yh Korra made her own problems. If she never left the water tribe the world would have ironically been perfectly fine without the avatar.

Kevin Heart thought so
Randy Pitchford.
well, when you're an industry plant, you grow where they plant you lol
For what it's worth, he is the best casting of the bunch. . .
He's literally shorter than tiny tina. What are you talking about?
The casting is worse than an SNL parody. It’s like when John Wayne played Genghis Khan.
"The Conquerer" I actually saw that movie. My whole reaction was "WTF is this?"
Or an actual Ww2 veteran
I don't know about that, Wayne's legionnaire role, in the greatest story ever told,where he utters the line truly,he was the son of god,in a broad American accent takes some beating
Fun fact, a decent amount of doctors and lawyers pass their classes due to chat gpt anymore, leading to a higher pool of unqualified specialists. Now that terrifying thought aside. Im sure that has some similarities to the script of this movie and anyone incharge of it.

With so many female-bosses, it's amazing that RT does not protect that movie from the public critics.
Maybe the producers didn't paid the _protection money._
That is peculiar indeed. Why are RT trashing the movie, when they so obviously protect other woke ones?

@@jacksonconstantine5740 right. Right. I was mistaking Jamie Lee Curtis for the actress playing Lilith, but watching the clips again, yeah, Curtis is definitely playing Tannis
You mean Tannis
Canon lore, Sirens never age
Lilith should've been like 25, Tannis in her thirties maybe a little older (she only becomes a siren rather late) and Tiny Tina should be like, 4, but who knows since there's not enough story posted on the internet to even guess when the plot is supposed to be happening.
Also, wtf did I hear that right about them making Tiny Tina into a siren?
I wish these investors started suing the filmmakers for criminal incompetence and/or industrial sabotage. No other way to clean that rotten industry up.
I heard even kotaku gave this a bad review. I don't know what is happening, did hell freeze over?
I also laugh my ass off how they aged up all these powerful women to just be elderly. They had a woman skilled in building stuff and one with magical powers. That's the modern entertainment wet dream! Seriously what is going on in Hollywood, are they ok? The strangeness of this has somehow pierced through my apathy.
They have "progressed" to the point they dont want to cast young attractive women anymore. Look at what theyre pushing in movies this year. We get Dune with whats her face who looks average, Sophia Boutella in Rebel Moon who is definitely not attractive. Its happening in video games too. Studios intentionally making their characters look worse (thanks sweet baby inc) and developers that do put hot chicks in their games get massive backlash from the progressive crowd. Its nuts.

So... Here is the list of its problem:
1. Woke Feminist s***
2. Replacing the main character
3. Basically no plot
Hmmm...
Agree with 1) agree with 3) but who did they replace?
@@TheArmyofHades I agree. Can't really replace the "main character" because the whole concept of being the main character in a game is that you are whoever you imagine yourself to be. And let's be honest, not a single one of us would imagine ourselves being an elderly adventurer in a game like that unless it was intended to be ridiculous. I would rather say that 2) A main character that is completely tone deaf to what players would want, showing they have no idea who their player-base or fan-base even is.
@@Bancheis Aye that makes more sense from your perspective.
The main characters of the games are the vault hunters, and in the movie they become just that. Not saying that to defend the movie, but rather to dispel your delusions.
@@TheArmyofHadesthey were missing the sniper, mordecai and the brawler, brick. Nor the main villain, Handsome Jack. I'm gonna assume they don't have Moxxi or recast her uglified due to 'the male gaze'.
I was shocked at how they botched the lore and turned borderlands into kids nickelodeon movie.... It's a joke.
You mean the lore that the writers will completely disregard at the drop of a hat?
Everything about this movie looks awful. The horrible miscasting, the flat humor, the cheesy costumes, the PG-13 rating, all of it.
Also, would you make a Borderlands movie about a decade after it peaked in popularity (especially after the best forgotten Tiny Tina’s Wonderland)? And if that wasn’t dumb enough, why would focus the entire plot around Tiny Tina, one of the most grating video game characters of all time?
It is losing to a movie based on a novel from the author who was basically modern day DAnielle Steele, she was at the tippy top of every romance fan's list of auto buy authors, I think Emily Henry and Allie Hazelwood are right after. But then Booktube decided to cancel her, looks like their cancellatin efforts were futile.
"why would focus the entire plot around Tiny Tina"
Because Tiny Tina is hilarious and adorable, even though she does have a mild case of the insanities.
@timothymarzelli3874 wow, those are some terrible reasons you listed

Why are so many characters literally 30 years older than they should be
they wanted more money.
Because most actors 30 years younger haven't been in any good movies.
That's literally it.
@@MemoristCed I think its more to do with these older and established actresses demanding more parts for themselves. There have been complaints from older actresses for decades that once they reach a certain age that their roles dry up and they become invisible. They have been fighting for so long to make sure they still get paid.
"Sci-fi gobbler" is a reference to being a "turkey" of a film.
There's a silver lining here. This movie just speed up the death of woke politics in movies.
No chance this will make any money.
Haha, you still believe that they doing woke BS for the money? It is propaganda packaged into movie format...
Other than a female lead there's nothing woke about this. Moreno hoping Hollywood stops casting big names for niche things so they stop flopping.
Lilith looks bored.
Tiny Tina isn't batshit crazy.
Tannis is like Doc from Back to the Future.
Roland is a puny whiner.
And I thought B3 was the lowest this franchise could drop.
The wokies will always strive to go deeper in the never-ending search for the bottom.
At least Borderlands 3 has some redeemable qualities such as the gameplay and funny enough, the stories of the DLCs are better than that of the main game.
But this? Even for a million dollars, I can’t tell a singular good thing about the movie.
> And I thought B3 was the lowest this franchise could drop.
Haha! It can always go lower. I predict B4 will be quite the banger when it comes to getting low.
@@protostnl6369 The love and tentacles dlc was slow ass that never went anywhere. The end was just completely anticlimactic with that easy ass boss. The others were fine though.
Remind me though, is Borderland 3 "woke"? Because I remember it being really bland and forgettable, but I don't remember seeing identity politics in it.
If Lilith doesn't know she is a Siren.. (so before BL1) and Tannis is that old.. (so after BL3 and her being a Siren too) with Tina looking like straight from BL3 and living Roland (so before BL2). With Krieg (so after or during BL2) without any Maya reference... What in the friggin plot was this movie BASED ON?! It's like they made a very poor AI to write the script based on a Wiki characters page.
"Hey ChatGPT, write me a script for a Borderlands movie but make sure nothing makes sense lore-wise and the actors don't fit their roles even remotely. Also make the actors 30 years older than the characters they are playing." As soon as I saw the trailer I knew the movie was going to be hot garbage.
This is one of those movies where they probably could have found a better cast if they had gone to a Comic-Con looking for cosplayers to fill those roles
From promotion photos at SDCC, Moxie at ComicCon was far better than the movie version...

Action is Crap
People are Old
Story is off and incorrect
Characters misrepresented
Childish movie levels
Forced humour
Clearly made by people who have never laid eyes on borderlands
Kevin Hart being cast as Roland is the only reason I needed to not watch this joke!!
Many reasons, but yeah that was probably the worst of them all.
I mean, at least they cast Jack Black rather than Seth Rogan. I can tolerate Jack, but I despise Seth, yet Seth Rogan seems to get cast for ALL "irreverent comedy relief character"s
Hart cast as Roland is the first thing I learned about this movie. I nearly broke down and cried.
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. As a final and ultimate finger to fans, they failed to cast either of Claptrap's voices which is one the most recognizable and consistently appearing characters from the game.
Maybe we should have more main character roles played by old people. Imagine if Yoda in Star Wars movies was now just voiced by Michael Caine
@@howwasNohErrorsalreadytaken "Fall, why do we, Master Bruce? So pick ourselves up, we can learn to."

Funny things is, the folks in charge of the Borderlands IP probably thought this was awesomeness. And considering how bad and cringe the story of Borderlands 3 is, is it any wonder?
"niche fan base"?
Every time I think they can't sink any lower, they somehow manage it.
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
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....
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.
@@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.
@@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).

"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.
Cant remember it being woke either but its was boring, franchise peaked with 2 / pre sequel.
I'm reserving judgement on Greenblatt, we'll see where her future guides her.

Taika Waititi was probably too busy ruining Time Bandits to make this.
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.
Taking a wild guess...
...the writers, director, and producers never played the game nor did any research into the original source material. Crap...I guessed correctly.

Roland and Lilith, did anyone playing Borderlands ever imagined those two being played by a barely manly manlet and someone's aunt in live action form?

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
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.

Who could have seen this coming?
Oh yeah, everyone.
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.

8 minutes in to the video and I've only just realised Cate Blanchett isn't Kate Beckinsale. Perhaps the studio made the same mistake?
No one wants to see Blanchett. Everyone wants to see Beckinsale, but she wouldn't appear in this trash.
I haven't kept up to date. I'm sure she's not 'skintight catsuit' hot anymore, but is Beckinsale still doing pretty well in her career?
I had a similar thought about The Little Mermaid remake; they got Halle Bailey instead of Halle Berry. An honest mistake, I'm sure.
Are you sure? Beckingsale starred in two dreadful vampire vs lycans follow ups that went straight to DvD back then.

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.
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.
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.)
Hey! Warcraft was actually good. I rewatch it every year.
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.
Warcraft was good!
The American Society of magical negroes still gets my vote for worst movie of 2024.
It wasn't GREAT but warcraft wasn't THAT terrible
