Borderlands may be one of the worst video game adaptations ever!
, by Thibaut
Borderlands is coming to cinemas this week, and it has already garnered some enemies. Indeed, the adaptation by Eli Roth and with Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hatt in the cast is being torn asunder by the critics.
Quite simply, at the time of writing these lines, Borderlands has a 0% rating from around twenty reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and the press isn't beating around the bush.
Some say the characters are "one-dimensional" and boring, that it's a botched copy of Guardians of the Galaxy, that the story is lazy and all around boring. Others go so far as to call it one of Roth's worst films, and describe it "like a string of sequences in a video game, but since you're not playing, it feels tedious instead of inspired".
