The movie adaptation of the Borderlands game series will hit the big screen this Friday. After the premiere screening, it has been the focus of various criticisms. The first reactions on social media also showed that the movie was not liked.
Why is the movie Borderlands not liked?
Borderlands, featuring stars like Cate Blanchett and Jack Black, has been in the waiting for years. The new production, prepared in partnership with Lionsgate and Gearbox, was the target of criticism. Most of the audience criticisms stated that the movie had a lifeless script and the pace was not enough.
Many comments mentioned that the plot was rushed and boring. It was also noted that the characters did not have chemistry. The attempts at humor were also unsuccessful according to many viewers, who said that the jokes were outdated.
Kit Harington, known for his character Jon Snow, stated that he could not watch House of the Dragon with his latest statement.
Visual effects became another topic of complaint. Some viewers criticized the action scenes, saying they looked both expensive and cheap. Also, giving the movie a family-friendly PG-13 rating was seen as a commercial move.
Some critics liked the overall structure of the movie. Stating that Borderlands was enjoyable from start to finish, the audience agreed that Kate Blanchett and Kevin Hart were enough to carry the movie. It should be noted that the IMDb score of the movie remained at 5.2.
