Early Borderlands movie impressions brand it "disaster" and "huge misfire"

Eli Roth's Borderlands movie is nearly here, and early impressions are starting to trickle in - and, well, they're not …

The movie feels like it was made after they picked the cast then curated it to the actors instead of the source material. I know everyone seems to like the cast choices but I genuinely think it’s the worst line up they could have done. The closet to acceptable would be jack black. I honestly don’t get why they wouldn’t just do the voice actor for him or find someone who is close to a perfect match.

I’ve got a home copy to watch tonight for free and I only have that because a friend sent it to me. I don’t even wanna pay the electricity to watch it.

Who likes the casting choices? I think I’ve only heard criticism on the casting.

I never saw a single comment, be it from friends or online, praising the casting lmao.
