Early critical reaction to Eli Roth's Borderlands movie adaptation is overwhelmingly negative, despite a star-studded cast. While the actors' performances are receiving some praise, the film itself is facing harsh criticism. Let's delve into the initial reviews and what audiences can anticipate.
A Critical Mauling, Despite Stellar Cast
Critics are panning Borderlands, citing weak humor, unconvincing CGI, and a lackluster script. Edgar Ortega of Loud and Clear Reviews described it as "a complete mess," lacking genuine emotional depth and relying on dated, ineffective jokes. Darren Movie Reviews from Movie Scene Canada called it a "baffling video game adaptation," noting wasted potential for world-building due to a rushed and uninspired screenplay, despite impressive set design.
However, not all reviews are entirely damning. Kurt Morrison highlighted Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart's performances as saving the film from being a total disaster, though he doubts it will find a wide audience. The Hollywood Handle offered a slightly more positive perspective, calling it a "fun PG-13 action movie" carried by Blanchett's performance.
Despite initial skepticism from fans of the game franchise, the film boasts an impressive cast including Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Krieg, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, and Jack Black as Claptrap. The plot follows Lilith's quest to find Atlas's missing daughter on Pandora.
As more comprehensive reviews emerge, audiences will soon have the opportunity to form their own opinions when Borderlands hits theaters on August 9th. Meanwhile, Gearbox has hinted at a new game in the franchise.
