It's not really a surprise though. The early trailers --which
typically show the best a movie has to offer-- were pretty terrible.
The "Borderlines" franchise seemed such an unlikely source material
for a movie anyway; it is an extremely shallow game with extremely
dumb humor and writing that I think_any_ director/writer would be
hard-pressed to make something good out of it. Still, Lionsgate really
seemed to be dredging out the bottom of the barrel with this one.

Well I've played Tales From The Borderlands by Telltale games and that managed to have a story that was enjoyable but still based in Borderlands, some interesting characters and moments that didn't make me laugh out loud but certainly got a small chuckle. So it's not as though it can't be done with the right people involved. The movie sounds like a right turkey though and something that I have no intention of putting myself through just in case.
