The Borderlands movie reviews are awful, and there are several reasons why critics’ thoughts are so negative. With a director like Eli Roth and a Borderlands cast led by Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, and others, there was originally plenty of hope that the film could continue Hollywood’s relatively strong streak of producing good video game movie adaptations. But as the marketing continued on and production issues arose, concerns about the overall quality started to mount. It didn’t help that Lionsgate held back reviews until hours before audiences watched Borderlands in theaters.
