If you haven’t heard about Jack Black’s recent cinematic flop, consider yourself lucky.
The sci-fi action film Borderlands, directed by horror expert Eli Roth, is adapted from the immensely popular video game series of the same name.
The initial responses were quite varied, with some viewers immediately doubting the film’s credibility.
Amidst the negativity, a few brave souls stepped up to defend the film, suggesting, “Hear me out, y’all—this actually looks good. The casting choices for some of these characters are top-notch.”
Borderlands premiered with a startlingly low zero percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s nearly unimaginable that a film featuring both Cate Blanchett and Jack Black could fail so dramatically, yet here we are.
The film’s Rotten Tomatoes score did manage to climb to a mere three percent after receiving a single positive review.
Despite this, the general consensus remains harsh.
DiscussingFilm criticized the film, saying, “Fans deserve much better than what director Eli Roth has delivered with Borderlands. This represents the video game movie curse at its worst.”
