Eli Roth’s adaptation of first-person shooter Borderlands had a fan event this week that left the majority underwhelmed.

I don’t normally pay attention to reviews, but I had a feeling this was coming. When they released that one minute clip a while back, it didn’t feel right, or even funny. One of the biggest pointers towards its lack of quality was the piss “joke” in the trailer. As one of the quotes mentions, it may just come off as a poor man’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

    Not going to lie, I still plan on going to see it. Borderlands 2 is in no small part responsible for me and my partner being together and it holds a special place in my heart. If it’s bad, I’m sure we’ll have a laugh at how bad it is, and if it’s good, we’ll have a laugh at how good it is. Fun time either way I figure.

      As a fellow BL2 diehard, I knew it was going to be bad the moment they cast Kevin Hart as Roland. I’ll just wait for a torrent and laugh at yet another video game movie flop

      Hell yeah. You’ll experience in a way that’s unique, so don’t let other people tell you what to feel. It’s ok to like stuff that everyone else doesn’t like, for no reason other than you want to like it.
