Eli Roth's adaptation of first-person shooter Borderlands had a fan event this week that left the majority underwhelmed.

I don't normally pay attention to reviews, but I had a feeling this was coming. When they released that one minute clip a while back, it didn't feel right, or even funny. One of the biggest pointers towards its lack of quality was the piss "joke" in the trailer. As one of the quotes mentions, it may just come off as a poor man's Guardians of the Galaxy.

As a fellow BL2 diehard, I knew it was going to be bad the moment they cast Kevin Hart as Roland. I'll just wait for a torrent and laugh at yet another video game movie flop
