Eli Roth 2024 movies Borderlands It’s a new kind of disappointment. It may be based on a video game and have a stellar cast, but it still leaves something to be desired. Very short. Tropes, clichés, and a lack of cohesion make this book a huge failure.
It’s not uncommon for video game fans to feel outright disgusted with their beloved celluloid versions. *On the other hand, I just really despise Uncharted Movie. I do like Tom Holland, and I do like Mark Wahlberg. but. Nathan Drake and cigar-chomping Victor Sullivan are not. If it hadn’t taken them so long to get this movie off the ground, fan-favorite Nathan Fillion was born to play Nate. this is life.
Borderlands It was met with merciless criticism from across the board. So I’m not sure what I can bring to the critical table, but here it is.
fans Borderlands Despise it, and those new to the game it’s based on will be completely lost. This troubled film lands with an obnoxious bang and fails to live up to any expectations.
story
A group of mercenaries with different personalities are looking for a magic treasure trove on the planet Pandora.
Cast
Cate Blanchett plays Lilith.
Kevin Hart plays Roland.
Edgar Ramirez is also an Atlas.
Jamie Lee Curtis plays Tanis.

Florian Munteanu is Krieg.
Janina Gavankar plays Knox.
Jack Black is the grandstanding (voice).
What’s wrong
Director Eli Roth, who co-wrote the script with Joe Abercrombie, apparently started having problems the moment Lionsgate saw the first version of the film . Roth has done a good job with R-rated horror films, just look at “Hotel” or “Thanksgiving,” but this one seems a bit far-fetched.
Somehow, Rose managed to turn the tables Borderlands Go into a super long doze. There’s a lot going on in the film. It distracts you and also shows up in your face. *However. Thank you for your work on William Scream Guys.
Most issues rely on tired tropes and clichés. They even mimicked the self-destruction of the old “Keystone Kops” during the chase scene.
However, I have only watched some walkthroughs of this game through YouTube. So the entire game probably relies on all the above “issues” I mentioned.
Casting is everything
The biggest complaint from fans is the casting. I almost completely agree with this.
For some reason, Kevin Hart playing Roland might have been an inspired choice. I just don’t understand if this is some kind of joke or if he’s available.
Cate Blanchett’s Lilith, despite having the most beautiful eyes in film history, is another headache. As much as I love this actress, I’m a little tired of this one.
judgment
bloody land Earns Painful 2.5 stars out of 5. Unfortunately, this is well below par. Not even Jack Black can save this one. The show currently airs on Starz.
*Side note: If you really want to see a fun video game adaptation, watch the TV series Twisted Metal. The film stars Anthony Mackie as John Doe. marvelous.
