Borderlands’ single-digit Rotten Tomatoes rating can make you taste the bloody hatred<p>We’re less than a day away from the premiere of the
Borderlands movie based on the violent, treasure-hunting comedy adventure games from Gearbox Software. Unfortunately, the vast majority of its reviews are wishing it never went beyond its gaming phase.</p>
<p>Rotten Tomatoes rounded up 34 reviews of Eli Roth’s adaptation of the Borderlands games and so far, it’s earned <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/borderlands">a freshness rating of 3 percent[/url]. Only one of the included critics have given the movie a positive review.</p>
