Borderlands Film Adaptation Receives Negative Reviews

The film adaptation of the popular video game franchise Borderlands, directed by Eli Roth, has received overwhelmingly negative reviews, debuting with a shocking 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have described it as 'the worst kind of bad movie,' criticizing its lack of originality and coherence, with some calling it a 'vapid, creatively bankrupt crime.' Despite a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, the film has been labeled an 'epic fail' and compared unfavorably to successful adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout. Many reviews highlight the film's tonal messiness and narrative issues, making it a contender for the worst film of the year. Critics are urging for better quality material for actors like Blanchett, who has now received the lowest rating of her career. As the film heads for its US release, the consensus remains that it fails to capture the essence of its source material and is unlikely to improve its standing with audiences.
