Just had a penguinz0 video appear in my youtube feed critiquing, and not in complimentary way, this movie.
I LOVED Borderlands 1 and 2, deservingly classic video games. The idea that this movie even exists and with such big names is a total surprise to me, the marketing must have been underwhelming.
But, being 2024 I can't say I'm entirely surprised it was botched either.
Sigh....
Saw the film yesterday and enjoyed it. I'm baffled by the low IMDb score and assumed it's the usual suspects piling in to rate it as a 1 (admittedly it's also heavy on the 2,3,4 ratings as well). Personally I enjoyed it more than Deadpool and Wolverine.
But you're right about the marketing. I don't see any trailers in the cinema and can't remember when I became aware of it. Either it popped up because I was looking at Haley Bennett's credits (a much under appreciated actress) or I just happened to notice it was on at the local cinema.
Oh ok, not so terrible then? Nice. Were you a fan of the games?
