Any (non chud) videos out there breaking down the disaster of the Borderlands movie?

Cate Blanchett running around shooting things and Gina Gershon playing mad Moxxi should be a small dunk for several specific demographics and idk how they could fuck that up.
- it's weird but aging male action stars have been doing it for decades so i'm kinda "sure whatever score one for liberal feminism" about it
  
  Nope, it's an original story taking place with the characters and has no bearing on the games whatsoever aside from that
Probably too early for anyone to write, produce, and release a video on unless they're going for the
"it's woke"
route
It very much feels like the film was Eli Roth trying to do an ultraviolent action movie, but had it pared down to a bad Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off
"Was it always this bad? Borderlands as a movie, a franchise, and why there's nothing to really talk about."
It's a fucking Borderlands movie in 2024, literally 12 years after borderlands 2, what even is there to say about it
- lol true really just want a deep analysis of what fuckery occured
I don't know. Usually redlettermedia covers movies like that. Maybe they will. Or esteemed critic gregg turkington can. I'm waiting for his rating.
