Look, the Borderlands film sucks. It sucks bad. This will likely come as zero surprise if you've been online enough to watch even one of the pre-release trailers or catch any of the discourse around them, and if you were lucky enough to avoid that the critical reviews have been brutal: We forced Joshua Wolens to watch it yesterday and it left him longing for the relative pleasures of the famed 1993 stinkeroo Super Mario Bros, which believe it or not is one of the less vicious critiques of the Borderlands film I've read over the past 24 hours.
But critics and audiences can sometimes diverge—plenty of crapola movies attract big audiences and make serious bank—and while I don't think that's likely to happen here, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hopes it will.
