ants Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I haven't seen most of those, but if Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas was truly worse that Transformers 4 it must be truly abominable. Not sure how Lucy and Expendables 3 didn't both get on the list, both were terrible as well. Although not as bad as Transformers 4. I'd have been tempted to add A million ways to die in the west to that list as well. Seth truly deserved the Razzie for the performance, but surely should have won it for worst screenplay as well.

The Anti-Targ Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Well the worst picture list gives you the Rotten Tomatoes score for each of the nominated movies. Sure only 12 critics summoned up the will to see Kirk Cameron's movie so 0% of 12 reviews is not equivalent to 18% of 180 movies. Though T4 did still manage to average 3.9/10 vs Cameron's 1.9/10. From a rotten tomatoes stand point there is an argument in favour of Hercules being the worst movie, though it is hard to separate it from Left Behind. Here was I thinking Ghost Rider would be Nick Cage's low point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 A blogger's wet dream!!! An entire event dedicated to hating!! And Lucy was pretty good!!How? The action scenes are meaningless, the story is silly, and the only point appears to be to tell their view of human evolution. Which, because its based on fiction, is a pretty silly premise for a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty good, nothing to be dazzled about but I thought it was far from a bad movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawkcabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I like their Redeemer award, it's oddly nice for an organisation that exist to (rightfully) shit all over terribleness John Travolta should get the redeemer revoked reward :P I really hope Lucy isn't that bad. It's sitting in my mailbox right now, I'm not expecting brilliance but if it's something entertaining and it even doesn't need to be too deep I'd be happy with it.

drawkcabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Saving Christmas is that bad? I have no idea what it's about but all I can imagine is a movie with Kirk Cameron ranting about the War on Christmas, giving a hard time to anyone who wishes him "Happy Holidays" and maybe throwing in gems like the God is real because...bananas one. Hmmm... Now I kind of want to see this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it this weekend and we enjoyed it in our household. Came in not knowing anything about it and we thought the premise was kind of cool even if we thought it fell a bit flat toward the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shryke Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Picking on Saving Christmas is just silly. It's like beating up on a cripple. It never even had a chance. It's a film specifically directed at the lucrative but taste-lacking christian-film-watching demographic. Might as well give a Razzie to student films.

I thought it was pretty good, nothing to be dazzled about but I thought it was far from a bad movieNo, I love fiction. I thought Edge of Tomorrow was one of the best films of 2014.The issue was that there was no tension, and the plot was terrible. From the moment the drugs entered her blood stream, she was so overpowered that the action scenes were meaningless. Very quickly she could just stop bullets etc and the whole thing was ridiculous. The action was superfluous. And that's ignoring so much of it revolved around the drug lord acting like an idiot.So what does that leave of plot? Oh, a HUGE focus on the effects of humans using more of their brain. Except this wasn't a mystery, it was set out early. So the rest of the movie was really about them chatting to each other and saying, oh your right on this and this and we'll create this info. It was just meaningless.Finally, why did everyone ignore that out there somewhere was someone who created the new drug? The movie just glossed over it.Ultimately, it was a mental wank about a single theoretical concept with some meaningless action thrown in as the over-powered Lucy did whatever she wanted.

eyenon15 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Idk, you clearly remember more details about the movie than me.I just remember I wasn't upset with myself for watching it and had no regrets.I file that under not a terrible movie, but what do I know? I think Sucker Punch is an awesome movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
