Borderlands Movie Drops with a 3% Rotten Tomatoes Score—Even Claptrap is Speechless!
The Borderlands movie just dropped, and it’s about as popular as a Claptrap at a stealth convention. Debuting with a “whopping” 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s safe to say this film has officially joined the ranks of “Oops, we did it again” in the video game adaptation hall of shame.
Critics have been scathing in their reviews, pointing out that even die-hard fans of the Borderlands games might struggle to find any enjoyment in the film. While the Borderlands franchise is known for its divisive humor, the movie seems to have missed the mark entirely, lacking both the wit and fun that the games are known for.
From the outset, Borderlands fans were skeptical, especially given the film’s long development process and some controversial casting choices, like Kevin Hart as Roland. Despite the star-studded cast, including Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black, the movie has failed to resonate with audiences.
But hey, if you’re feeling brave—or just want to see what all the fuss (or lack thereof) is about—the Borderlands movie hits theaters on August 9th. Just remember to bring a shield mod, because with a 3% score, you’re gonna need some serious protection from the cringe.

Cookie Monster Learns French for the 2024 Paris Olympics! [Video]
Watch as Alex and Tom from AT Frenchies hilariously teach Cookie Monster to say “mother” (“mère”), “sea” (“mer”), “mayor” (“maire”), and “grandmother” (“mémère”)—all sounding the same!
Then, Cookie Monster asks them to translate “The mother of the mayor and grandmother in the sea.” The result? A hilarious tongue-twister!
La mère du maire et mémère en mer!
