I laughed my ass off when Vic had a moment of realization and lowered his score, along with Johnny 🤣

@realityvanguard2052 25 дней назад

A 5 from Vic is already like a zero property. So a 4 is like a -1 score

"I can't believe I didn't get to see Deadpool and Wolverine with you but I get to see Borderlands." That's all I needed to hear. People who don't know might like this, fans are going to despise this.😂

@SpacedAug Месяц назад

God i love movie reviews with you two. The film was supposed to be R rated, but after reshoots (that Eli Roth didnt even do, Tim Miller did the reshoots), the film took on a new life. Its a shame. Release the Roth cut!

@lesterbronson2385 Месяц назад

@ali8283 Месяц назад

@hugoclarke3284 Месяц назад

There's a trap in writing when you have a pre-existing world to work with. You end up trying to make everything authentic, often out of love for the franchise, but chain yourself up in the process. It becomes a kind of artificial resurrection. You have to liberate yourself to create whatever YOU want to create, otherwise you are fighting against yourself.

@sebsavic7763 Месяц назад

Hollywood screwing up another video game license isn't surprising. Find someone who knows as much about borderlands as Henry Cavill knows about the witcher.

@stevenh.2459 Месяц назад

This needed to be a rated R movie. Why else hire Eli Roth to direct the movie?

@VazzVegas Месяц назад

Great review guys. I always blame producers for bad movies. Ari Arad produced this and he's also been responsible for such gems as Uncharted, Ghost in the Shell, the Ghostrider movies and the Punisher movies. He's obviously an idiot. Ali Roth is an amazing horror movie director, not an action-dark-comedy director. Kevin Hart is a great comedian but not a action movie leading man. I could go on. Everyone was mis-cast/mis-hired from the top-down so it's not surprising this failed.

10 out of 10 positive life changing movie! Vic still rules!

@MediaPastimes Месяц назад

After seeing early reactions and (especially) this review, my already low enthusiasm for this movie somehow fell even more. This was a total and complete misunderstanding of the target audience for this series on the studio's part. They worried so much about casting huge stars and keeping this to a PG-13 rating that it will never come close to doubling its budget (estimated at around $110-120 million).

@Geek_Speak_Gaming Месяц назад

Daaaaamn. I figured it'd be at least mildly entertaining, but wow!!! I feel like Tiny Tina, Kreig and even Claptrap were okay casting, but the main three should've been Karen Gillan or Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Lilith, Kate McKinnon as Tannis and Trevante Rhodes as Roland.

@D_9000 Месяц назад

🤔 I wonder, if this movie flops does that mean anything for Gear Box? Feels like they've been through the ringer lately.

@elliotsl Месяц назад

Quick question. For someone who has never played a Borderlands game, is it worth starting with the first one? I keep hearing that 2 was best, but I generally don't like joining a series part way through. Thanks!

“Not one laugh” “No good lines” So is true and accurate to the game then?

@Micbemac Месяц назад

Not all games translate well to other mediums. Borderlands' world is interesting, but it's stories are pretty week, and it's mostly the mechanics of the game that shine - there's nothing there that screams "make this into a movie" outside of crazy action sequences with shoestring story and character connecting them.

@MsHojat Месяц назад

Even back 5 months ago people could see that the movie would be bad or have major problems just by the trailer alone.

@arflesdawgdirector Месяц назад

Maybe some thoughts insights to why it is the way it is - It starting shooting ages ago, Lionsgate releases a lot of Direct to Video type action movies so they are probably putting bottom line first. The director Tim Miller was brought into do reshoots because Eli Roth had schedule conflicts. I am sure also a lot of bad decisions were not privy to. The unfortunate part is we have yet another lame Video Game Adaptation in a long line. Unfortunate because a good Borderland movie is completely possible.

@MrColinHostile Месяц назад

Is this the lowest score on a movie review? From Vic & Johnny?

@RavenShinyThings Месяц назад

a movie made for consumers not viewers as an audience to a play you are trying to connect with.

You know it's bad when Vic feels his generosity so stretched out that he finally rethinks his score even lower. Borderlands? More like Borderline. P.S.
