Borderlands Movie: Behind the Scenes of a Gore-Intended Adventure Turned Disappointing

The recent release of Eli Roth's much-anticipated Borderlands movie has not resonated well with viewers. Currently sitting at a mere 6% score on Rotten Tomatoes—an improvement from its previous days of being at 0% — the film is facing backlash due to what many describe as a lack of humor, dubious CGI, and insufficient graphic intensity.

The disappointing jokes and visual effects grab attention, but the letdown becomes even more pronounced when it’s revealed that the film was initially intended to be more intense, originally filmed with an R rating in mind. This contrast has left many fans wondering what could have been.
