@michaelsrensen-lb7yw ugh. The characters.. this game is probably the only game that i play with the dialogue volume turned down to zero. I cannot stand it when i hear "hey superfan!"
I knew I wasn't going to see this when I saw the trailer and I don't regret that. Seriously, Handsome Jack refereed to Roland as "a guy allergic to smiling" and they cast a comedian to play him. Bruh, the fact that Lilith is towering over Roland is wild af.
They should've just done an animated movie or maybe a tv show. Way easier than live action and theey can make the characters look like their actual game counterparts.
@@Deusaga Only if they got some writers on the level of whoever wrote BL2. One Piece was mostly a hit because Oda, the creator of the manga, had the reins in his hand and never let go. The studio was the same, who did the flop Cowboy Beepop a few years before.
Don’t want to throw hate their way, some of them were bad to mediocre at best. Kevin hart being the standout & Marcus being good too. Just didn’t get enough time in the Final Cut. I also agree that it’s mainly because of a bad writing & everything externally but I do agree that it was poorly cast. I do think with a proper script it it could’ve been good as a live action TV show that ran for 6 episodes with smaller actors who could disappear into the characters with the big budge spent on everything but the cast. They way over spent on the cast its self and everything else looks really cheap. But I do agree that the actors don’t deserve all the hate. It isn’t there fault they got called for a job
Yup! I follow the guy who plays Krieg and he’s a really good actor just sucks that they gave him two lines and dumbed Krieg down to knuckle dragger who just existed throughout the movie 😭
Why? They said yes to it. They showed up to set and read the lines. Why feel sorry for someone who willingly makes themselves a punching bag, and they know it?
The more I have thought about it, they definitely had to have cut out a fight with the vault monster because why are they celebrating at the end? It makes no sense for ALL of sanctuary to celebrate like that 😭😭😭
Guess it's part of the usual thing of wanting to make a product but needing an IP to slap on top of it. Seen that a few times. Never turned out good because they want their own thing, not what the target audience wants
I think it was very telling in Joltzdudes review that when he was asked the question 'Is this movie fan pandering or is it done more with people who don't know Borderlands in mind?' He answered 'Neither' The movie is not only garbage but hasn't got a clue who it's supposed to appeal to
If Hollywood produced a movie about just the last fifteen years of Randy Pitchford’s deranged behavior, it would be 1,000 times more compelling than anything in the BORDERLANDS movie and whoever played Pitchford would be a frontrunner for the Academy Award for Best Lead Actor.
@@mattthompson3714 he even said that a borderlands anime would be a terrible idea when fucking edgerunners and arcane exists. Unbelievable how deluded he is thinking that this won't affect the games when it could've boosted sales just like what edgerunners and the fallout tv shoe did.
@Cricket0021 I agree with Randy(shocking I know). Not because it wouldn't be cool(it be freaking awesome). But I can't trust Hollywood to do anything right, so the show would be terrible.

I never understand these movies, THEY HAD THE SCRIPT, they literally could have done a cinematic recreation of BL2, to bring more audiences into the series, but instead they make a movie that basically has nothing to do with the IP. Just like star wars, Disney bought the IP and then discarded decades worth of canon to remake their own.
Why borderlands 2 if your going to adapt the games you start with the first installment you wouldn't start making harry potter movies from chamber of secrets onwards without doing philosopher stone first.
Admittedly there are only two negatives for me: 1. The krom masked guy that everyone was predicting to be Brick wasn't he was nothing more but just that guy, 2. When they finally got into the vault sure there was a vault monster but the fucking thing was only tentacles
Blanchett should've played Commandant Steele. Should've have followed BL1 more closely with some retcons to keep the canon consistent. Like a scene where Steele actually talks about being a siren and Lilith is really dialed in and wants to know more right before the destroyer kills Steele. Would've been interesting and could've added to the larger borderlands story. But no. We had to get ANOTHER director and more producers who barely know how to change their underwears, let alone know what they're doing.
Without even seeing it, it IS the worst movie of the year. A clusterfk that made no sense and existed for no other reason than to be a quick cash grab, which funnily enough did the opposite. I hope it is a wake up call like others are saying.
Fun fact, Anthony Burch, (Ashly Burch's brother, the woman who plays Tiny Tina in the BL game's, as well as many other video game characters we know, such as Chloe Price in Life Is Strange, and Aloy from the Horizon series), wrote BL2, but from what I know Randy canned him for 3, (as we can tell the writing was very...different, lol). Hopefully Randy stops acting like a man child, grows up, and actually decides to genuinely look at the criticism, take it in, and maybe, just maybe pull his head out of his ass, look at what the fans are saying, and make the correct changes and decisions for BL4, hell, we could start the game with Marcus, saying that some of the story referring to certain characters, (like Lilith or the Siren twins), was just a drunk rambling, and it wasn't true, then they could fix the story issue's, change it up, and make this game the best in the series. 🤷🏾♂️💯🙏🏾
14:33 I wish they made that joke, can you imagine if they actually had META Humor? They could have created a movie that makes you want to play the games... Rather than a movie for PG-13 "General Audiences" .
I'd love to see the uncut R version of this movie and see if it was any better. I doubt it but who knows. Maybe we need a "Synder cut" style of re-release?

I didn’t have a reason to buy new tales. So I did not. I only went to see this for the review since I’ve been covering this film a lot on my channel. So since I’ve only viewed one in full. Borderlands the movie by a country mile.
I just call this movie 'Borderlands Evolution', in honor of the crappy Dragon Ball movie someone did in the 2000's and F that up brilliantly. Atleast the trailer was spot on and warned everyone for the hazard on their mental health, to never watch the movie if they can help it.
Production process sounds like it was an absolute trainwreck. Definitely overspent on actors where they should have used the budget on visuals. But that plot ... damn. "Lilith is the siren" as the big plot twist ... hilariously bad.
I am almost 100% certain all the voice lines from kreig was just ripped from the game. All his voice lines sound like a separate audio source and he doesn't move or anything when he talks, like the actor was just silent the whole time and they just cut in audio from the game files.
Red Letter media has a interesting theory about it. 1. Eli Roth ruined Craig Mazins script because he wanted to make a schlocky action film rather than the games schlocky dark humor. 2. Avi Arad broke Eli so hard that he left to make thanksgiving and refused to come back until tim miller came in. I know it was r rated, but they edited it all out even character development to save time or the film was even worse.
Thanks for your honest in depth take, unlike other content creators who are more afraid of being blocked by Randy than telling the truth. I do still plan on watching it when it's in the $5 bin at Walmart, with extremely low expectations of course. TBH I was hoping it was decent from a fans perspective, who knows maybe I'll be like Joltzdude or Epic (admits he's shilling) and see some good in it.
They’re about equal but I got smiles during my first experience with bl3. Those ended relatively quickly but with this. My soul slowly lifted out of my body with my BL journey of the last 11 years and I watched it get beat over the head and made a mockery of for an hour and 40 minutes.
When it comes to writing stories in college, I was taught "first, write for yourself. that is your down-draft. Then revise it to write for close friends, and then revise and write for an audience." Clearly, Eli never got past phase ; "Write for yourself"
I swear they just do this shit on purpose to annoy the fans of the games, whether it be this movie or any other video game adaptation. It’s a slap in the face and a kick in the shins honestly.
4:35 Named after the son of Prometheus. That actually fits with the nomenclature of the saga since a lot of it draws influence from Greek mythology. Also, it's pronounced "Duke Alien." 5:00 Of course, they went with his BL3 look. This is just a mishmash of every era throughout the saga! 6:38 Meanwhile, Roland's the one who has a class mod in BL1 that's literally called "Leader" (made by Dahl and Jakobs), plus he's literally the literal leader of the Crimson Lance in BL2. 8:03 The games already reference most of those movies. BL2 even has the Thunderball Fists which is a reference to 'The Super Inframan' (the name is, anyway). I only know about that movie thanks to Brandon Tenold. It's also called 'Inframan'. 9:55 They could have given her, say, an Atlas Masher but with a Hyperion color scheme. 9:58 It's like they spliced General Knoxx together with Commandant Steele. She reminds me of the bad guys from the 'V' miniseries (the original '80s one, of course). 10:18 Ackchyually, the Infinity's a Legendary, not a Unique. 10:44 Why does everyone say that?! He was like that in BL2, sure, but he wasn't like that in BL1. 11:40 Why doesn't that rocket launcher have a sight? They did a decent job making it look like it has a BL2-era Torgue barrel. Personally, I prefer Maliwan and Vladof barrels in-game. Huge damage doesn't do much good if the rockets are slow and inaccurate. 13:10 [cue Civvie 11's "sewer count" meme] 14:23 They could have said that he was using an Absorb shield. Only it was defective or something, so the "absorb" part ended up being literal. That would explain why he then had to "expel" the excess lead. 14:34 Holy smokes! I did a video on that, and I said exactly the same thing! They could also just say it was an Absorb shield, but regular ones are fine if they have the right parts. 24% absorb chance or better is usually good enough for an ordinary one. Not exception like a Sham (and Shams are still exception even if they're not 94%). 15:08 Yeah, why is she twirling those guns? None of them are lever-actions that could be spin-cocked. Btw, Jakobs didn't started making leverguns til BL3. 17:51 Ackchyually, it's "Sam Hill," not "Sam-hell."
i would have atleast thought the movie had a coherent plot and everyone was just nitpicking cuz of the casting choices, but to find out that there is literally a non-existent plot surprises me
They should have animated the movie and use top tier voice talent, i bet it would have cleared 10 million by now, cost much less and not piss off an established fanbase.
This whole disaster has made me realize that i dont like borderlands as a series, the series just so happens to contain ONE of my favorite games of all time (borderlands 2). One hit wonder i guess, ive lost faith in this series.
Man… I’ve seen so much bad stuff that I haven’t even been bothered to even go and see the movie. When it comes available to buy I may get it and watch it but even then, is it worth it?
That 150 Million could have been used to fix issues with past games like the memory leak glitch in Borderlands for example, Or take some money to fix what's wrong with those games and save the remainder of cash to go towards BL4.
it's so funny see randy go off on twitter, bro's like "um so what *specifically* did you not like about the movie", "what was your favorite part of the movie" and the best ones are all his paul tassi ones
Don't worry, i don't have any intention of seeing this piece of crap at any point in time, so spoilers don't matter It really didn't help that Eli Roth wanted to make Star Wars, Mad Max, Barbarella, The Fifth Element, Escape From New York into one movie called Borderlands (without adding Borderlands) and Randy basically went 'Yeah, whatever, do what you want. I still get paid at the end of the day' Motorhead are the best I'd have to replace my brain with rocks to even come close to slightly liking it
Remember it got a 3/10 on ign that’s historically bad. Freddie got fingerd got a 4/10. Thor love and thunder got a 7. To put this into prospective Thor love and thunder is fucking awful. Do I need to even explain how bad Freddie got fingerd is and it got a 4 a 4.
I’ve seen a lot of “should have been animated” comments, but they totally could have done a Scott Pilgrim thing where they make it more over the top and pair animations with live action.
Eli Roth is so unbelievably out of touch thinking he can take a beloved franchise and just... do his own thing with it with no regard to any of the source material. its so stupidly arrogant and delusional
@@0fficalHellfire the credits/Trailer theme for Borderlands:the Movie should have been Never Surrender by Stan Bush (Kickboxer 1988 Van Damme soundtrack) (the touch - Transformers 1986) its a shitty camp saturday morning cartoon Gi Joe 80's PSA interpretation of Borderlands. needs a 80s throwback song.
If Gearbox doesn't learn from this then they never will.. even a child could of seen this coming light years away. They could of gathered a group of literal monkeys together to act as "beta testers" and known it would of been a flop because the monkeys would of smashed their heads in on a wall half way through just so they wouldn't have to watch anymore of that mind numbing slop. It's literally easy money to just make a movie that follows the games like how Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Hunger Games did (but with books). Sadly, they're too greedy and out of touch to realize that. I know making movies isn't easy, but you already have the fricking foundation like c'mon how do you fail this spectacularly🤦
This film had heavy involvement from Randy Pitchford, who only surrounds himself with yes-man (if you even test him he’ll choke you out, no joke). An unchecked ego and film production shouldn’t mix.
The only thing that gives me hope is that the Super Mario Bros movie back in the day was a big stinky pile as well and it didn’t have any bearing on how great the games to come were.
This movie just stinks of randy pitchford, he needs to just back out of the writing room. I believe this movie was made only for Randy, just like new tales.
I wondered when your review was coming. I'm kinda glad all things considered it was just as bad as imagined, if it had been just bad, I'd have felt cheated. Maybe it will underline just how bad things have got.
Thanks for being a bit more in depth than other reviews ive seen, man this shit is a disaster and randy pitchford crying about it on twitter aint helping. This movie really is just helping destroy what little reputation borderlands has left ☠️
And I thought the Ratchet and Clank movie was a disappointment towards my childhood memories... welp time to get so hammered I forget Borderlands even has a movie
This is the first movie I felt true rage for, first why was marcus not narrating and they say that the eridens had gods when there us no prof of that, they were a race fuled by science and oh my don't get me started on the story

5:00 Of course, they went with his BL3 look. This is just a mishmash of every era throughout the saga!
6:38 Meanwhile, Roland's the one who has a class mod in BL1 that's literally called "Leader" (made by Dahl and Jakobs), plus he's literally the literal leader of the Crimson Lance in BL2.
8:03 The games already reference most of those movies. BL2 even has the Thunderball Fists which is a reference to 'The Super Inframan' (the name is, anyway). I only know about that movie thanks to Brandon Tenold. It's also called 'Inframan'.
9:55 They could have given her, say, an Atlas Masher but with a Hyperion color scheme.
9:58 It's like they spliced General Knoxx together with Commandant Steele. She reminds me of the bad guys from the 'V' miniseries (the original '80s one, of course).
10:18 Ackchyually, the Infinity's a Legendary, not a Unique.
10:44 Why does everyone say that?! He was like that in BL2, sure, but he wasn't like that in BL1.
11:40 Why doesn't that rocket launcher have a sight? They did a decent job making it look like it has a BL2-era Torgue barrel. Personally, I prefer Maliwan and Vladof barrels in-game. Huge damage doesn't do much good if the rockets are slow and inaccurate.
13:10 [cue Civvie 11's "sewer count" meme]
14:23 They could have said that he was using an Absorb shield. Only it was defective or something, so the "absorb" part ended up being literal. That would explain why he then had to "expel" the excess lead.
14:34 Holy smokes! I did a video on that, and I said exactly the same thing! They could also just say it was an Absorb shield, but regular ones are fine if they have the right parts. 24% absorb chance or better is usually good enough for an ordinary one. Not exception like a Sham (and Shams are still exception even if they're not 94%).
15:08 Yeah, why is she twirling those guns? None of them are lever-actions that could be spin-cocked. Btw, Jakobs didn't started making leverguns til BL3.
17:51 Ackchyually, it's "Sam Hill," not "Sam-hell."
i would have atleast thought the movie had a coherent plot and everyone was just nitpicking cuz of the casting choices, but to find out that there is literally a non-existent plot surprises me
They should have animated the movie and use top tier voice talent, i bet it would have cleared 10 million by now, cost much less and not piss off an established fanbase.
Yeah, I don't plan on watching this. The unforgivable fumbling of Caustic Caverns made me cackle, I can't even lie lmao.
This whole disaster has made me realize that i dont like borderlands as a series, the series just so happens to contain ONE of my favorite games of all time (borderlands 2). One hit wonder i guess, ive lost faith in this series.
Man… I’ve seen so much bad stuff that I haven’t even been bothered to even go and see the movie.
When it comes available to buy I may get it and watch it but even then, is it worth it?
Na. If you’re a die hard BL fan and you have to see it, just wait for it to be on streaming services
Heyyyy was waiting for this to drop
My desire to ever see a Metroid movie made someday just went straight down the toilet.
Was Marcus in the borderlands movie played by Dutch from Red dead redemption?
He sure did!
Amazing game by the way
@@0fficalHellfire heck yea the red dead redemption games were amazing 😄. It's kinda neat seeing him as Marcus in the borderlands movie
That 150 Million could have been used to fix issues with past games like the memory leak glitch in Borderlands for example, Or take some money to fix what's wrong with those games and save the remainder of cash to go towards BL4.
it's so funny see randy go off on twitter, bro's like "um so what *specifically* did you not like about the movie", "what was your favorite part of the movie" and the best ones are all his paul tassi ones
Don't worry, i don't have any intention of seeing this piece of crap at any point in time, so spoilers don't matter
It really didn't help that Eli Roth wanted to make Star Wars, Mad Max, Barbarella, The Fifth Element, Escape From New York into one movie called Borderlands (without adding Borderlands) and Randy basically went 'Yeah, whatever, do what you want. I still get paid at the end of the day'
Motorhead are the best
I'd have to replace my brain with rocks to even come close to slightly liking it
The guy who plays Marcus also voices Dutch Van Derlin from Red Dead Redemption
I appreciate the good work on your videos, fyi. Been subbed for awhile.
❤️❤️❤️
Bro hellfire. Have you seen randy pitchford blocking everyone on Twitter. EVEN KILLER SIX. what is he's doinngggg!
Director: "im gonna make a movie that only i will love"
I hope this Movie is a wake up call for Gearbox, but knowing Randy, it's probably not.
Remember it got a 3/10 on ign that’s historically bad. Freddie got fingerd got a 4/10. Thor love and thunder got a 7. To put this into prospective Thor love and thunder is fucking awful. Do I need to even explain how bad Freddie got fingerd is and it got a 4 a 4.
They included the main villain's death in the trailer. Why?
Being morons
That’s why 🤣
I’ve seen a lot of “should have been animated” comments, but they totally could have done a Scott Pilgrim thing where they make it more over the top and pair animations with live action.
They always pretend they are targeting the modern audience, like we are all stupid and think we need to get aboard an empty bus because they say so.
Who was this movie made for? Eli Roth
Him and his gilf fetish
Eli Roth is so unbelievably out of touch thinking he can take a beloved franchise and just... do his own thing with it with no regard to any of the source material. its so stupidly arrogant and delusional
The last thing I was expecting was Motorhead. That's actually good that it wasn't wasted on a bad scene, Lemmy would probably roll in his grave.
No doubt, that was easily my favorite action scene of the film!
Rip Lemmy 🪦
@@0fficalHellfire the credits/Trailer theme for Borderlands:the Movie should have been Never Surrender by Stan Bush (Kickboxer 1988 Van Damme soundtrack) (the touch - Transformers 1986) its a shitty camp saturday morning cartoon Gi Joe 80's PSA interpretation of Borderlands. needs a 80s throwback song.
If Gearbox doesn't learn from this then they never will.. even a child could of seen this coming light years away. They could of gathered a group of literal monkeys together to act as "beta testers" and known it would of been a flop because the monkeys would of smashed their heads in on a wall half way through just so they wouldn't have to watch anymore of that mind numbing slop. It's literally easy money to just make a movie that follows the games like how Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and Hunger Games did (but with books). Sadly, they're too greedy and out of touch to realize that. I know making movies isn't easy, but you already have the fricking foundation like c'mon how do you fail this spectacularly🤦
This film had heavy involvement from Randy Pitchford, who only surrounds himself with yes-man (if you even test him he’ll choke you out, no joke). An unchecked ego and film production shouldn’t mix.
The only thing that gives me hope is that the Super Mario Bros movie back in the day was a big stinky pile as well and it didn’t have any bearing on how great the games to come were.
It's sad, Borderlands 1 and 2 were such great games.
There could be an entire video on just reactions to this movie
This movie just stinks of randy pitchford, he needs to just back out of the writing room. I believe this movie was made only for Randy, just like new tales.
Yo that's not moxxi... That's not moxxi.
idk about that; i think she was done well; that lady is 62 but she looks fucking great
@@nickm5419my biggest issue with moxxi was her accent when in the games she deliberately hides it to not sound like a hick
@@SasamiTMuntil she gets really mad if I remember correctly :3
I think we see her mad enough to get a bit hick a few times
I wondered when your review was coming. I'm kinda glad all things considered it was just as bad as imagined, if it had been just bad, I'd have felt cheated. Maybe it will underline just how bad things have got.
Randy Pitchford must be raging and seething.
No doubt. Has been for days
Thanks for being a bit more in depth than other reviews ive seen, man this shit is a disaster and randy pitchford crying about it on twitter aint helping. This movie really is just helping destroy what little reputation borderlands has left ☠️
So basically it's a: "The Willy Wonka's Borderlands Experience"
Essentially yes
Me and my siren mark sleeve are watching Fallout, they did sirens dirty
And I thought the Ratchet and Clank movie was a disappointment towards my childhood memories... welp time to get so hammered I forget Borderlands even has a movie
realest comment I’ve seen today 🤣
Wait so did they kill the destroyer at the end or not?
This is the first movie I felt true rage for, first why was marcus not narrating and they say that the eridens had gods when there us no prof of that, they were a race fuled by science and oh my don't get me started on the story
13:33 not sure if Randy was joking but he actually admitted the character we see helping open the hatch was BRICK but he was cut from the movie
Figuring that “character” is wearing a Covid mask and ball cap. Safe to say that was him being sarcastic. (Movie was filmed in 2021 when masks were mandated)
