PG-13 killed it:

So right up front, I’m a HUGE borderlands game fan. Always have been. Now with that in mind, I came in with certain expectations. And I’m going to give you an honest review.
First the casting, I thought it would be dreadful, but to my surprise even though it wasn’t the best casting, the actors did an amazing job playing their respective characters. Having said that the ones I would change out are Tina, Moxie, and Roland. They all did their thing, and it was good for them no doubt, but sadly they were not the right casting for those particular roles.
And here’s how you can tell. Tina in this movie is a kind of lost girl with explosives, but you get this sense that she kind of needs protecting, and in the game it was completely the opposite. Even the bandits wouldn’t mess with her because she was so wildly deranged. That insanity is her defining trait, not having it killed the character. Moxie was sexier than badass in the game, in the movie the sexiness took a huge backseat and the problem with that is that it IS her personality. You can’t just change that in a character. This brings us to Roland, I love Kevin Hart. And he did a great job portraying Roland, but here’s the thing Roland was a completely different physique and completely different personality in the games. He was way more serious, and that’s not Kevin’s forte, of course, it’s not, he’s a comedian. So like I said, those are just bad casting choices.
Now onto the actual movie, the story was… well not the version of the story we had in the games, which is weird because you know the established fanbase wants that story right? It doesn’t have to be the same one but it has to be close and this one wasn’t it. Now even with all of this, I can forgive, but what I can’t forgive is the PG-13 garbage. Borderlands games are a hardcore-rated R+ genre, you absolutely can’t change it to PG-13, gut the script to have stupid lines that don’t go at all with the scenes, and expect anyone to like it. It doesn’t work.
6/10 Great acting, mediocre casting/plot, terrible writing. The PG-13 rating sunk it.
