The borderlands movie debut along with negligible percentage of rotten tomatoes

The Rotten Tomatoes score for Borderlands has arrived, and it’s achieved an uncommon and unwanted achievement. The Eli Roth movie, which is based on the popular video game series, follows a motley group as they try to save a girl who might have the secret to a powerful weapon. The main cast of Borderlands includes Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, and Cate Blanchett as Lileth. The review embargo has finally been lifted ahead of the movie’s release on Friday, August 9.

Rotten Tomatoes shows that Borderlands has now opened with a miserable 0% score with 23 reviews, as critics share their opinions online. Although this rating may change when additional assessments are received, it is clear that the adaptation is off to a very poor start. Although the audience score hasn’t been released yet, it should be revealed this weekend when the movie opens nationwide. The highly anticipated cinematic adaptation of the Borderlands video games may be viewed in theaters or on streaming services at home.

Why the Rotten Tomatoes score for Borderlands is so low?

The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros. Movie are just two examples of the successful video game adaptions in recent years; Borderlands, based on this early reaction at least, looks to be a throwback to a time when studios simply couldn’t get them right. Even if the actors in the film are talented, reviews of Borderlands criticize the film for being little more than a hodgepodge. Andrew J. Salazar bemoans the movie in his review for Discussing Film, calling it a prime illustration of the “video game movie curse.”

While Tatiana Hullender’s review of Borderlands for Screen Rant is more neutral, complimenting Blanchett’s lead role and the ensemble, other critics’ assessments are typically significantly harsher. “Profoundly unlikeable characters” plague the movie, according to Clarisse Loughrey’s harsh review for The Independent, and the “sacrilegious treatment of place and character will likely send its fans into a white-hot rage.” In her review, Cynthia Vinney labels the Looper adaption as “boring” and criticizes the PG-13 rating for being too restrictive.

Taylor Gates criticizes Collider for having a vast cast that is “too cramped” for any one character to have much of an impact on the story. Giovanni Lago writes on Next Best Picture, arguing that Borderlands “fails at every level of filmmaking.” The reception that Borderlands will receive from viewers is still to be determined, but it appears that they may not be pleased.
