Borderlands

"Unlikely to thrill either devotees of the game or newbies to this fantasy world."

"Wacko BS."

"It makes you want to go home and blow up your Playstation."

"Alienating to fans of the game and incomprehensible to the casual viewer."

"Turgid skull-scraping awfulness."

"We'd say it's the worst video game movie ever — but that's way too limiting."

"Blanchett... deserves credit for not shrinking from a task so far beneath her."

"It is unclear why the best actor of her generation is in this film."

"(An) inexcusably dull, one-dimensional chore of a movie."

"An embarrassing affair for even the most hardcore of gamers."

"(Blanchett's) decision to take part... is baffling – but then again, so is almost everything else about it."

"You can see the jokes, but most of them don’t land."

"Cate Blanchett outguns everything around her in Eli Roth’s uninspiring adaptation."

"The only applause Borderlands deserves is a slow handclap of derision."

"Stale and stubbornly unexciting."

"The definitive worst film of Roth’s career."

"Isn’t half as fun as you’d hope."

"Deprives audiences of the most valuable ingredient of its source: surprise."

"A fun but bumpy ride."
