Killimano3 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I knew this was going to be bad but... THIS bad? Ngl I was still going to go see it for the claptrap popcorn bucket but before I thought it was going to be in that "bad but not bad enough to be interesting" category... Now I'm almost excited for it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I was on the fence about seeing this but these reviews have swung me. I've got to see just how bad it is. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish the script had been adjusted a bit better to accommodate her age. Blanchett fans will enjoy this, not sure about anytime else. She never misses.

Arlborn Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 9 hours ago, Belakor said: This is clearly another video game, corpo-headed movie in which everyone involved didn't knew / understands the franchise. Says the person with a Warcraft movie character as their profile picture. Not that you’re wrong, but it’s funny. I actually really enjoy the Warcraft movie by the way, I watch it occasionally, but I know I’m in the minority and I acknowledge that I probably only enjoy it because I never cared for the games. Sadly I don’t think Borderlands will become a guilty pleasure of mine as well going from what the critics are saying, but who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebSurfer Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Guess you can say this is Borderline bad! Heard the original script was good at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful art style inspired by cel-shaded graphics (despite devs denying cel-shading). Post apocalyptic punk glitz. They should've gone Tank Girl, but they chose...this. A Tank Girl rip-off would have been way better than what feels like the 100th generic GOTG ripoff we got since Guardians came out. In fact it would’ve been awesome, and now I’m sad for what could’ve been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Warcraft is the GOAT of videogame adaptions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killimano3 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I remember thinking Warcraft was fine, but that as a fan of all the games I wished they had adapted a more interesting part of the lore. I do remember hating the look of everything though. It was so much bad CGI it was borderline an animated film. I get some things like the orcs needed to be mostly CGI, but I hated how they went for the exaggerated CGI armor and the 100% CGI locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I was gonna go see Fly Me To the Moon tonight but i've just found out it's an Apple movie so I can watch it at home for free soon. so i'm instead gonna go see borderlands in half an hour. my curiosity has got the better of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roth getting a Story By credit as well as a Screenplay By credit next to a pseudonym isn't the best look and that's what critics see.
