Eli Roth's adaptation of first-person shooter Borderlands had a fan event this week that left the majority underwhelmed.

I don't normally pay attention to reviews, but I had a feeling this was coming. When they released that one minute clip a while back, it didn't feel right, or even funny. One of the biggest pointers towards its lack of quality was the piss "joke" in the trailer. As one of the quotes mentions, it may just come off as a poor man's Guardians of the Galaxy.

This should not have been a surprise in the wake of Kevin Hart being cast as Roland. In what world did that make sense?

Also what's her face as Lillith.

Never forget good ol' Watser Face. May her memory survive a thousand lifetimes.

Had she not been Galadriel, maybe it would have worked. I can’t look at that face and not feel it in the water. Or feel it in the earth. Or smell it in the air.
