Oh, no! I should have warned them. They were adorable 😆 Thank you! I'm always gonna take the opportunity to criticize that man. He's such a terrible producer and his reputation is abysmal.
Old people are wiser than most, they know when they see shit they can simply walk away, all the young people just sit there helpless and don’t know what to do.
At this point, I just can't wait till everyone's completely forgotten this thing even exists. I can no longer stand seeing it show up in my yt feed. Imagine making a movie based on a BELOVED video game ip, but instead of making it for ACTUAL FANS of that ip, you try to make it for everyone OTHER than those fans, and then fail MISERABLY and that, too.
As someone who is involved in the scenes. I will say that Craig Mazin actually wrote a very good screenplay for Borderlands probably about 5 years ago at this point. As I recall, it was right after his Chernobyl release. It was much darker in tone but still had a comedic element to it like the game. It was written as it was going to be Rated R. Lionsgate/Producers fired the previous writing team and bought his script around the same time they hired Roth. Mazin was tied up with The Last of Us project since both projects went into production at the same time, but he was still willing to work on the script. That did not happen. Roth basically took his script, rewrote basically all of it, and never reached out. I don't if that was the directors or producers fault. That's why he went under a pseudonym for film.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this! I feel sorry for Craig Mazin. Sounds like he was jerked around and had to see his hard work trampled by Eli Roth. Thank you again.
In borderlands three due to the passage of time the aged up tiny Tina just called her Tina due to nearing her late teens and Tannis made the shocking reveal after defeating pain and terror that she became an siren that she secretly hidden from years. How she became one is when angel passed her powers on to Tannis due to the lore once a siren dies they have to pick an suiter to be the next one. Because six siren’s can exist at the same time the reason why Troy calypso was the only male siren due to him and his sister Tyreen was born conjoined but was successfully separated in order for his survival he needs Tyreen to share her powers. Lastly later became independent after sucking siren powers from Maya however after promising that Ava to become one after her in which it was fulfilled later on after Troy met his end that Ava took his powers and became a siren herself.
don’t know what happened to my other msg, but here’s the breakdown again in cost: $6 matinee ticket, $10 bucket of popcorn, $5 water, $4 hot dog. all discounted prices on matinee day.
Kevin hart is one of my favorite actors...as soon as I see a movie is featuring him, I know to stay far away from that movie! Thanks to him I save dozens of dollars and hours a year
1. Every character feels miscast. 2. Even the director, why isn't he doing horror? 3. I hope they made no money so maybe movie studios learn from this crap
@@husker4life109 I'm not excepting much from The Crow reboot, but I would be shocked if it's worse than Borderlands. That a steep mountain to climb. We'll see soon...
Yup, it should have come out in 2014 when the series was at the height of its popularity. I think that's the reason I fell off of Borderlands 3. The story, writing and new villains were just bad or dull.
I wonder how the success of the fallout series affected the expectations of the rollout of this film. Unfortunately for those involved the directors last name is Roth not Nolan
I think people are expecting video game adaptations to be of quality like Fallout. This film was apparently sitting on a shelf for a couple years because they knew it was so bad. There's no excuse for Borderlands to be so terrible at the end of the day. Fans and audiences deserve better.
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 * Legend of Zelda * Naruto As long Arad lives, there's no hope
I still need to watch his family film, A House with a Clock in its Walls. Thanksgiving was solid, but I'm not a fan of the rest of his filmography. Like you, I braced myself for the worst when he was announced as the director.
I saw the movie knowing absolutely nothing about Borderlands. Nothing about the characters. Nothing about the fancy guns. Nothing about the locations. I enjoyed it but somehow I knew something was off. Especially the casting. By the time it was over, everyone around me hated it. I said, was it the casting? They all said yes. It was basically another Uncharted fiasco.
Apparently this also went through extensive reshoots as well. Craig Mazin took his name off the project in place of a pseudonym (Joe Crombie), which Craig has said is not his pseudonym. Eli Roth was busy doing the Thanksgiving slasher film for Sony, So Lionsgate brought in Tim Miller to direct the reshoots. I never played the games, but this just sounds like a towering jenga of messiness. Also the CEO of Gearbox (Randy Pitchford) has previously refused an idea for an animated Borderlands series. Saying it wouldn't work. Well, what do you think of this then, Randy? 😅
I think they should have just continued the story from 3 with new characters that fit the roles they were trying to portray instead of using legacy characters if they didn't want them to be accurate to who they were representing. Every other game has you playing as new vault hunters anyway so they could have just made there own thing and it wouldnt have bothered anyone.They chose to do this movie in the worst possible way.
I never played the games and the trailer looked like an Asylum version of Guardians Of The Galaxy. You saying the old couple was the best thing about going to watch this movie made me chuckle, and your right why would they waste their time watching this shit. I’ll see this movie streaming on Tubi in a year and I’ll still probably pass on it. It just looks 10 years too late 😂 great review Chris. 👍
I must admit they got Marcus dead on. It's as if Marcus stepped out of the game to be part of the movie. The rest of the actors miss looking like their characters by a country mile. Lilth amd Tanis look like they should be having wheelchair races at the Senior Center.
My roommate used to enjoy these games, and id be relaxing on the couch, bullsh*tting with him. Regardless, i always enjoyed watching him play the games. Im more of and RPG person, not really FPS. This makes me wanna go back, maybe play the games, or watch lore videos on it, but all the negativity definitely makes me not wanna watch the movie. I love film, but some should be cut back to bottom of the barrel, to only be watched alongside Samurai Cop or Cruel Jaws. Ive had nights binging Spielberg, Tarantino, and other greats, and other nights binging Neil Breen or Andy Sidarus films. Enjoy the good with the bad, and just enjoy life!!! Sorry for ranting, keep up the great work!!!!
You're not ranting at all! I think Borderlands 2 would be a fun one to start with. It's my favorite in the series and it's a good game to play while relaxing. Also, I love watching movies like Samurai Cop with my community! We do Discord watch parties every Wednesday and Friday. Feel free to stop by any time. We're doing Alien this upcoming Wednesday and Aliens and Jaws the Revenge on Friday.
@chrisjherman Also i had the same situation with the original Deadpool movie a few years back. It was just me, and some older woman. The movie got the year long s*x scene, and she left. Had he movie to myself afterwards.
All the UA-camrs should be thankful for this shitty movie cause it gave them easy content. This is like the 50th “this movie is garbage” video I’ve seen since the movie came out. I mean, was anyone actually surprised? 😂
I must cant belive tjats the same kate who was the super sexy galadrieal from og lord of the rings 😭 they did her so dirty in this becasie that woman is beautiful.
Don't get me started on Kevin Heart as Roland. This movie lost me when it was first announced. God bless you, Chris. You suffer for us. 🙏🏾
Yup, he's completely miscast as are the other actors. Thank you as well 😆
Just when we were getting solid video game to film adaptations, Lionsgate sets video game movies ten years back.
Hopefully it won't set us back that far! We have some exciting stuff on the way like Arcane Season 2 and Sonic 3. Hoping those will be good!
The elderly couple probably left Borderlands to watch TRAP 😂😂 and major salute to Juice-Man for speaking the truth about -avi arad-
Oh, no! I should have warned them. They were adorable 😆

That's fair. All of film UA-cam is talking about it right now. Thankfully, films like Cuckoo and Alien: Romulus will be the focus in the coming days.

Avi Arad's next project is actually the The Legend of Zelda film...... :( Hopefully Nintendo has more control.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this! I feel sorry for Craig Mazin. Sounds like he was jerked around and had to see his hard work trampled by Eli Roth. Thank you again.
Oh, no! I'm hoping for the best with that project, but I don't have a lot of hope for it. Personally, I would want them to make it animated.

Thanks for the lore and new context!
Thanks for the info, looking forward to playing 3 fully eventually, Tannis becomes a Siren, that's dope! 🤯😃
I hope this movie loses a lot of money.
It definitely will
If it does then I fear studios still won't realize the fault is that they don't actually try to faithfully replicate the game
Oh it's a Hiroshima sized bomb.
I hope Randy, personally, loses a ton of money
Omg! That story in the beginning 😂😂
It's the one good experience I had with this movie 😂
Borderlands 3 is my first BL game. i bought it last week on sale to see if id like it. I really enjoy the game.
How dare they make Lillith a grandma
Glad you're enjoying the game!
Yes, some very odd casting with that one.
jesus, this sounds horrendous. thanks for helping me save $25 at the show; and that’s on matinee day. 😳
Happy to help! Yeah, it's a stinker of a movie. Thanks for watching too!
Holy shit dude where the fuck do you live ? $25 for a ticket is insane…
@@kirika119 on matinee day: $6 ticket, $10 for the popcorn bucket that i always must have, $5 water, $4 hot dog.

Love how they don't even TEASE Handsome Jack....they know ain't no sequel comin !!
I'm glad they didn't do that either. They knew this wasn't getting a sequel.
@chrisjherman just replying to say your channel has been AWSOME Chris you and Martin were my favorite in DT. I'm sticking around Buddy !
Kevin hart is one of my favorite actors...as soon as I see a movie is featuring him, I know to stay far away from that movie! Thanks to him I save dozens of dollars and hours a year
That is a brilliant way to look at Kevin Hart and his filmography 😂
1. Every character feels miscast.
2. Even the director, why isn't he doing horror?
3. I hope they made no money so maybe movie studios learn from this crap
Deadpool and Wolverine is over 1 billion now !
It's doing very well for itself
Yeah on my channel, I just had an Avi Arad rant. I'm so tired of that guy. And Eli Roth didn't seem to make things better.
Nice! I'll check that out. Yeah, Arad is such a terrible producer. So many stories about how terrible he is to work with.
@@chrisjherman yeah he is. And I greatly appreciate you checking me out sir. Been watching you with DT for a minute.
Don’t worry. We still got THE CROW coming too! :(
Oh, know! I keep forgetting about The Crow 😂
@@chrisjhermancant be worse than this right, right?!?

I had no idea you had a yt channel Chris but Im glad to see it popup on my timeline through the TV. Just subbed!
Thank you for finding the channel and welcome! I really appreciate the sub and kind words. Hope you enjoyed the review too!
I'm not sure what I dislike more. Kevin harts most, his acting, or his stand up...
His acting for me 😅
Yeah this came out too little too late. Granted the 3rd game was fine gameplay wise but the story was really bad as well.
Yup, it should have come out in 2014 when the series was at the height of its popularity. I think that's the reason I fell off of Borderlands 3. The story, writing and new villains were just bad or dull.

Thanksgiving was AWFUL don't lie 😂
It definitely has flaws and issues, but compared to the rest of his stuff that I've seen, it's solid.
The movie sat on a shelf for 2 years before they decided to do reshoots. How bad was that version of the film if this is what they released?!
That's a very good question. The original cut must have been abysmal. Apparently, it was originally filmed as an R-rated movie too.
AVI ARAD has ruined so far...
* Borderlands
* Daredevil (2003)
* The Punisher (2004)
* Elektra (2005)

And now he's gonna ruin...

* Naruto
As long Arad lives, there's no hope
At least it's not the Max Payne movie am I right 🤣🤣🤣 but seriously which is objectively better this or the Max Payne movie.
Damn, that's a very difficult choice. I would say Max Payne is better just because the humor in Borderlands is so terrible.
Personally i like a few of Roths movies but when i heard he was directing this i knew this wasnt gonna be good
I still need to watch his family film, A House with a Clock in its Walls. Thanksgiving was solid, but I'm not a fan of the rest of his filmography. Like you, I braced myself for the worst when he was announced as the director.
Borderlands 2 is my favorite. Borderlands 3 gameplay is the best in the series in my opinion, but the story isn’t that great.
Agreed on all points. I love Borderlands as well.
Just found out Randy Pitchford is going around blocking negative criticisms at the film. Searching the movie on Twitter to do it. Insane!
I heard about that! I think I might make a short about it.
I saw the movie knowing absolutely nothing about Borderlands.
Nothing about the characters.
Nothing about the fancy guns.
Nothing about the locations.
I enjoyed it but somehow I knew something was off. Especially the casting. By the time it was over, everyone around me hated it.

It's frustrating to see them butcher Borderlands
@chrisjherman it honestly is kind of depressing. To see something you grew up playing evolve then slowly devolve like this is heartbreaking.
The games are first person shit so I'm fine with this being as bad.
Kraven the Hunter will save us
I think he's vegan in the new movie 😂
Lol
