Borderlands Movie's Poor Reviews Aren't Its Only Problems

Author : Ryan Jan 05,2025

The Borderlands movie is facing more than just scathing reviews in its opening week. While critics have largely panned the film, a behind-the-scenes controversy has emerged regarding uncredited work.

A Rocky Premiere: Critics and Audiences Divided

The Eli Roth-directed adaptation currently sits at a dismal 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 49 critic reviews. Negative comments highlight a lackluster script and humor that fails to connect. However, audience scores show a slightly more positive reception at 49%, with some viewers appreciating the film's action and over-the-top style, despite acknowledging plot inconsistencies.

Uncredited Work Sparks Controversy

Adding to the film's woes, freelance rigger Robbie Reid recently revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that he and the artist responsible for modeling Claptrap were not given screen credit. Reid expressed disappointment, noting this was the first time his work on a film went uncredited, particularly for such a prominent character. He attributed the oversight to leaving his studio in 2021, but also highlighted the larger issue of inconsistent crediting practices within the film industry.

Reid's statement underscores a broader concern about fair treatment and recognition for artists within the film industry. While the movie's poor critical reception is certainly a significant setback, the uncredited work controversy adds another layer to its troubled premiere.
