Borderlands adaptation a cinematic wasteland

Borderlands summed up in a single word — asinine.

This was a truly annoying experience that halts any of the progress that video game adaptations made in the past five years.

The Jack Black-voiced robot Claptrap is excrutiatingly painful to the ears, and the jokes he spouts are even worse.

Kevin Hart be Kevin Harting — that can be a positive or negative depending on taste. It's a negative here.

Cate Blanchett took a post-Covid paycheck in what is easily the biggest smear on a fine filmography.

Jamie Lee Curtis erases any goodwill from her recent Oscar victory.

Edgar Ramirez, the ultimate curse to any film's success, is the blandest of villains.

This movie is just B.A.D. any which way you slice it.

It's probably in my 10 least favorite films of all time.

Horror guru Eli Roth was given a $120 million budget, and proceeded to make a film that looks like it cost $15 million at best.

He performs no task of this production well in an absolutely abysmal directing job that should ensure that low-budget torture porn will be his only calling from here on out.

If you know my reviews, you know I approach even the worst of films with optimism — ahem, a 6 for Madame Web — but this is simply a different level of shit.
