      I think that's the weird catch 22 with videogame adaptations. Teens are playing these games although technically they shouldn't be based on the rating. So the film studio has to water it down to get the PG-13 rating so they can pull teens into the theater but by doing that they stomp all over the franchise.

      Borderlands megafan here, I thought it was a bad cast at first as well, but kevin hart actually did a pretty good job. Also, im convinced no one actually knows how roland acts, because especially in borderlands 1, which is closer to how this movie takes place as far as roland and lilith goes, he actually sounds a lot more upbeat like kevin hart does. And in the movie, kevin doesnt actually make very many quips during the movie, and is still his stoic self.

He's in a completely alternate dimension with it.

    This movie is just the perfect storm of awful trash:
    - been in production hell for probably more than a decade
    - everyone lost interest both in the project and in the IP, Borderlands as a video game franchise is kinda creatively bankrupt
    - hire a director with a dubious resume
    - cast a lot of A-list actors that demand Scrooge McDuck levels of cash
    - be sure all of these actors are well over 50, so they'll be more believable doing stunts at retirement age
    - totally ignore your source material, even mock it if you dare.
    - write in the most cringe and ridiculous humor AI can come up with
    - let chatGPT write everything else since you're there
    - underpay and overwork your FX artists and proceed to make your movie look like shit
    - bloat even more the budget with bullshit and reshoots, surpass well over 100M $
    - choose the same timeslot as an heavy hitter like deadpool for releasing the movie.

      It's not so much malevolence, as much as they just don't care. It's a "video game movie" so it's expected to fail, will probably use it for a tax exemption. Honestly it feels like games overall have kind of surpassed what Hollywood puts out lately. Cuz in a world where the Mario movie breaks all records despite just basically following the game Hollywood needs to understand that they really don't have to deviate that far from the base story and just respect the source material to rack in some serious cash. Like it's going to the point to where if a game movie is at least mediocre it'll still stand head and shoulders above the Sea of slop

    • @davedanger4414

      I think the only way the casting is "bad" is if they are bad actors. If someone is supposed to be in their 30s or 40s and is played by someone in their 60s(Jamie Lee Curtis) and that character's age isn't integral to the story, then it shouldn't matter. I don't care if the character had a beard in the source material and the actor is clean shaven. The goofs online care, but story is what matters. And it seems like the story is what is truly horrible.

    Some history here -
    Craig Mazin (The Last of Us, Chernobyl) wrote the original script. Reportedly the script was really good and lots of studios went into a bidding war for it. Once the movie was greenlit and Eli Roth began directing. Apparently he completely butchered the script to his liking. So bad in fact Craig Mazin completely backed out from even having his name attached to the project.
    It finished primary filming in summer of 2021 and here we are in 2024. The production hell shows with that fact alone.
    The film was originally R rated and a lot more game accurate and but like I said, had 3 years in the cutting room can change that.
    In the final stages of reshoots Tim Miller (Deadpool 1) was hired to come in and basically scavenge any of the action to spice it up any amount. Not even that could save it I guess lol.

    Sometimes I think that in order to make a movie this bad, you need to make it bad on purpose.
    If you ask a random person on the street to make a movie with this cast, they are bound to make at least a 3-4/10 movie, not a -1/10. That level of terribleness has to be on purpose. Maybe they thought that if it was bad enough, it would gain a cult following or something.
    If you put a random person in charge, and you just let the actors improvise, you would get such a much better movie.

    "The movie was shot in the summer of 2021 and Eli Roth's first director's cut was reportedly finished in early 2022. However, it was shelved for over two years due to extreme studio interference while the film was in post-production. Appalled by the film's extreme violence, the studio wanted the film to be marketed as a blockbuster and hired Tim Miller to do extensive reshoots on the project. These reshoots ended up comprising so much of the final movie that Steve Jablonsky had to write an entirely new musical score, as the original score by Nathan Barr no longer fit the film." Also "Eli Roth originally shot the movie with a planned hard R-rating, keeping in vein with the original game's M-rating for mature audiences. However, last-minute rewrites, heavy edits, and reshoots from Tim Miller dialed the film back to a PG-13...."

Which makes this more of a family friendly movie. It certainly is not worse than monster hunter. As a borderlands fan, the lore pretty much held solid for the most part.

      Good. Some stories are better told in the medium of games. Borderlands is it's genre, it's just shoot and level up combined. A shooter with classes and rpg stuff. That's it, that's the whole selling point. The story serves purely to be a framework for you to shoot and level up in.
      That's why people don't like the series as much from the third game on. They tried making it all about learning about the characters and the worldbuilding, with a chosen one story, and it wasn't about the players experience anymore. A PLAYER EXPERIENCE. The story is made as the player shoots. And levels up. That's the real story. Can't make that into a movie.

    The trailers for this movie kept popping up in the ads for me and I was like "There's no way this is good." They make it sound like the most cringe-inducing yet blandest, most generic action movie ever, especially the one where it says it's the most savage movie of the year or something like that 😂

Plus, look at the cast, I'm not saying they're not great actors, but this lineup is a fucking joke and nowhere close to what people would need to fill in the roles of the extremely diverse and unique characters of the Borderlands game series.

      Exactly. I've played Borderlands since I was THREE and it sucks seeing Gearbox go down this seemingly corporate rabbit hole. The original games from b1 to pre-sequel and b2 were FANTASTIC but they started to go down this road where B3 just kinda felt off. It's like they're caring less and less about what they do with the franchise and trying to make it cater towards the modern audience instead of continuing what they have done in the past. With this movie, it seems like the leaders of Gearbox are just handing this shit off like its nothing and it breaks my heart seeing my favorite franchise crumble like this. I can only hope that with the next Borderlands project they are working on will do better (and hopefully much better than this garbage fire of a film).
