Borderlands Movie Review: A Gamer's Disappointment

The ESE Files

In this episode, we break down the newly released Borderlands movie of 2024. As a long-time fan of the game series, BB laments the many ways the film falls short, from miscasting issues to lackluster action sequences. While the visuals and certain character portrayals (like Claptrap voiced by Jack Black) are praised, the overall story and execution receive harsh criticism. On the flip side, CK, who had no previous experience with the Borderlands franchise, finds the movie entertaining and delivers a fresh take. Join us as we discuss both perspectives and even present our own 'ChatGPT-scripted' take on a Borderlands movie that could have been. And don't miss our hilarious hot takes on the new live-action Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and the debate on whether Wesley Snipes or Hugh Jackman deserves the title of longest-running Marvel character.
