I mean. Even putting all the borderlands expectations aside, it was a pretty low quality movie.
Like, a lot of films that are adapted from games or other media, if you set aside expectations from the original media, you at least end up with a halfway decent movie.
This one was just a train wreck all the way through.
We were spoiled with actually good video game to film adaptations in the last few years. The Borderlands movie is like a step back to the 90’s when we got shit like Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter: The Movie. Except not even so bad it’s fun.
I agree. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Doom movie. I’m not even sure what to say about that one… Maybe that it was so bad that I’ve forgotten most of it?
For good adaptations, Sonic comes to mind. Not perfect but Sonic games didn’t really have that much of a plot to work from, just dr.robotnik is bad, go fast to stop him from doing the bad things.
I’m certain there’s more that I’ve forgotten about than I could possibly list off the top of my head.
And the hits just keep on coming for borderlands
