Short “Review“: So bad it’s good? So bad don’t waste your time?? So bad go watch the next movie I post about??? Go play the games and don’t waste your time nor money on this feature???? Watch the first 15 minutes and bounce??
Main “Review”:
Okay you’ve got the picture from the above. Lets begin the “Review”.
From 0% RT Score to currently standing at 6% this is a movie that starts surprisingly strong…..for 15 minutes and then jumps into a train and drives eyes wide open into a wreckage of steaming thresher sh*t.
Cate Blanchett playing Lilith started strong and held this movie up for the majority of the film. Ariana Greenblatt playing Tiny Tina which I didn’t even know was Tina from Tina’s Wonderland was a cool surprise. I’ve always been interested in the games without playing them so I didn’t get all the easter eggs and surprises but the writing for this film was awful.
Meeting Claptrap voiced by Jack Black was 20% okay and 80% annoying! This was just before we met backup with Tiny Tina due to her dad in search for her and requested the aid from Lilith to recover her from Kevin Hart’s character Roland & Florian Munteanu playing Krieg.
I have no idea if the backdrop was green screened/CGI or what not but these scenes were so off. The explosions that Tiny Tina controls with her stuffed rabbits and the cars interacting with terrain was odd.
The actions scenes were paired with great music but the scenes felt like riding the transformers ride at Universal Studios. No danger was felt, just buckle up in this simulated ride and watch the explosions and actions go by as you jam to the music.
The first few scenes within the 15 minute mark I was honestly having a good time like a 7/10 and was confused how this got a 0/100 %. I kept watching and I kept buckled up on this trainwreck of a ride.
20 Minutes into this movie I went down to a 5.5/6 out of 10. Krieg felt like a knock off Drax found on temu. By 45minutes I was getting bored. Some good scenes here and there but that mostly ends when we connect the entire group. I’d love to have a bounty hunter movie based around Lilith and ignore the rest of the cast. Writing is just awful and continues to get worse as the trainwreck continues.
By the hour mark I was down to 5/10 then 4.5/10. Forceful emotional scenes despite not creating any connection to characters. By the time they attempt to do such connection the movies to far gone and I just couldn’t care less.
Tools and pieces of the movie to progress the story was just handed over to characters. Nothing was earned, gained or rewarded just handed over within seconds of requiring said item. Such awful development for both story and characters. Such terrible writing and script this movie had. Good thing we have Cate Blanchett right…..right!?
Bad guys just switch sides for no reason given as their immediately killed providing NOTHING to the scene nor story. 4/10 WTF. How and Why was this movie made? Go make the Warcraft sequel rather than making this BS.
Cate Blanchett saves us from this movie please end good……..Cate…. Cate!! No Cate they got you to! Awful twist fucking terrible let this trainwreck continue to fly into the poop. 3.5/10. You started at a 7 come on!
You ruined the progression video game movies climbed up and succeeded to finally be seen as good. Now were two steps forward 5 steps back. Please don’t mess this up for Sonic 3 at the end of the year. I’ll be PISSED! This movie disrespects the viewer and throws thresher piss all over them.
We’ve entered stream or walk out territory. I honestly can’t place a score between 1 – 3 out of 10. I’ll say just place it in the background at home and watch it. If you like it then cool. If not, you didn’t waste your time nor money on this awful film. I can see why it’s sitting at a 6% on RT and applaud all those that make it through to the end of this feature.
If you choose to watch this title still then good luck, have fun and I’ll see you on the other side. Kind of curious to check out the steam sale currently going on for the borderlands franchise to see how it compares.
