Borderlands movie called "uninspired", "unfunny", and "a disaster" in scathing first reactions – though some of its cast are getting praise

The verdicts on the video game adaptation are in...

Directed by Eli Roth, the star-studded action comedy, which is inspired by the popular looter shooter video game of the same name, sees Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Cate Blanchett bring the likes of Claptrap, Roland, and Lilith to life, as the latter reluctantly returns to her home-planet of Pandora. There, she embarks on a treacherous mission to steal some treasure from a secret vault, alongside a bunch of newfound accomplices including Tiny Tina ( Barbie's Ariana Greenblatt) and Krieg (Florian Munteanu). Filled with every cliché you can ponder, this film swaps the mayhem and imagination of the games for a lifeless, unfunny, and visually repulsive dud with annoying characters and a cast with not one ounce of chemistry," tweeted Bitesize Break's Adriano Caporusso.
