Surprised there wasn't a thread for these.

To be honest I think they too often go for the same easy targets like Michael Bay and Adam Sandler, but the Redeemer award is a nice idea.

    Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas has the accolade of being the Lowest rated film on both Rotten Tomatoes (with an amazing 0%) and IMDB, and when you consider that the film is essentially a rubbish piece of Fundamentalist Christian propaganda (as is Left Behind) then I think it deserves all the Razzies it has been nominated for.

    Didn't they kind of jump the shark in that now the winners are only too happy to turn up and accept the awards because a win and exposure trounces the insult of being called crap.

    I think in general the joke has grown stale with The Razzies, but i do like the idea of the Redeemer award.

    Transformers 4 deserves to win everything it's nominated for.

    What do you expect from a film about giant toy robots?

    Despite how rubbish they might be (though they are entertaining...which at the end of the day is what movies are about...entertainment) the box office figures show that the films are still a popular franchise.

    Just a lazy and easy target for the razzie nominations, the next one will also probably be earmarked already.

    I (mostly) enjoyed the first three, for what they were.

    Age of Extinction, however, was uniformly awful and had no redeeming features.

    It has

    Especially as people who vote have actually openly admitted they rarely watch any of the films they nominate, and they it also becomes clear they have an agenda against certain actors.

    It's pathetic when you see such acclaimed and very talented actors like Susan Sarandon, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pffeifer and many others nominated. They even gave a razzie to Laurence Olivier back in the 70's or 80's, a man who is regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. They will be giving Meryl Streep one next.
