The ‘Borderlands’ Movie Debuts With A 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

I’m not sure I understood of anybody, Borderlands fan or not, who thought that the motionpicture adjustment of the videogame was going to be great, based on whatever from casting to trailers. Now as evaluates come in ahead of its release tomorrow, those fears haveactually been confirmed. And then some.

As I compose this, the Borderlands film has a flat 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. No favorable evaluates whatsoever (Update: A single favorable evaluation hasactually come in raising it to a 3%), and the ones that are in are not simply unfavorable, however brutal. Here’s a tasting:

• Discussing Film: “The fans areworthyof a lot muchbetter than whatever director Eli Roth is attempting to do with Borderlands. This is the video videogame motionpicture curse at its worst.”
• Men’s Journal: “If Borderlands doesn’t stop studio executives from drooling at the sight of every single IP that comes throughout their desks, absolutelynothing will.”
• Next Best Picture: “It’s remarkable how Roth can generate the bad quality of 2000s video videogame adjustment energy yet insomeway forget the discernable sense of enjoyable or design that made even those horrible motionpictures stand out.”
• IGN: “Borderlands is an abysmal waste of a precious franchise that takes a kooky band of homicidal misfits and drainspipes the life out of their veryfirst experience together.”

It’s real there are not numerous evaluates in yet, and the rating might tick up, however whatever I’ve seen outdoors of some video videogame influencers who participatedin premieres (or are actually additionals in the film) hasactually been non-stop unfavorable, and I would be shocked to discover more than a handful of favorable examines come in when all is stated and done. If any.

A 0% on Rotten Tomatoes is of course as low as you can go. If we are looking at the worst-scored video videogame motionpictures ever made, that list would now be (Updated list with the 4%):

• Alone in the Dark (2005) – 1%
• Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) – 3%
• House of the Dead (2003) – 3%
• Borderlands (2024) – 3%
• In the Name of the King (2007) – 4%
• Bloodrayne (2005) – 4%
• Mortal Kombat Annihilation- 4%
• Silent Hill Revelation (2012) – 8%
• Hitman Agent: 47 (2015) – 8%
• Postal (2007) – 9%

I put the year there so you can see that most of these ultra-terrible ones are in a years or so when making a great video videogame adjustment was borderline difficult and the just individuals attempting were directors like Uwe Boll half the time. As of late, we haveactually seen really strong live action video videogame adjustments on both movie (Sonic) and TELEVISION (The Last of UnitedStates, Fallout), and Borderlands appears to be a 10-15 year action backwards.

I do anticipate it to increase above a no percent. There are so lotsof critics on Rotten Tomatoes of doubtful quality and taste that mostlikely someone will like it and knock it above some of these (I am one of those critics, so no judgement), however that has not tookplace at the time of this composing.

Who saw this coming? Everyone. Everyone did. And here we are.
