Revenge of the Fallen Proves a hit at the Razzies

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen [http://www.amazon.com/Scribblenauts-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002B1TDV8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279053101&sr=1-1] has been 'honored' at the Golden Raspberry awards.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and the Golden Raspberry awards - or the Razzies - are the reaction to the Academy Awards, awarded to the worst movies of the year, rather than the best.

This year's big winner ? Why, none other than Michael Bay's $200 million tour de force, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The movie and its cast and crew were nominated for seven awards, and picked up three of them - Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay - but were beaten in the Worst Actress, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Screen Couple and Worst Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel categories by other worthy candidates.

Also honored at the awards were Eddie Murphy and Paris Hilton for Worst Actor and Actress of the Decade, respectively, and Battlefield Earth, John Travolta's adaptation of the Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's 1983 novel, as the Worst Picture of the Decade.

Agreed.

That film was utter shite.

I agree with all the nominations especially Worst Actress, Megan Fox is a rubbish actor.

 

[Worgen]

oddly enough I thought Megan Fox did pretty good in revenge of the fallen, much better then she did in the original, altho the rest of the cast were crap

 

[Sir Kemper]

Ha Ha, despite only recently discovering the razzies, but i utterly adore the concept.

Anyway, i'm sure this victory will make at least a few well known internet cirtics happy.

Anyway, i have to check out what beat transformers.

*Goes to check link*

 

[Ghonzor]

I'm glad that it got the recognition it deserved.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

/agree

That movie made me hate life. It made the first transformers look good. It made GI JOE look like Citizen Kane.

Do NOT see that movie unless you are so utterly stoned out of your mind you don't know the difference between a screen and looking out a window.

I haven't seen it, because I think it's wrong that people like Michael Bay can make money off stupidity. The only people who should get a cent for that movie (and the previous one) are the guys who did the CGI, because they're the only ones who did any work!.

[sub]This movie makes $835,274,255 but Fear and Loathing is Las Vegas only makes $10,000,000? Fucking bullshit![/sub]

I was JUST thinking to myself that I should see this at some point. And here it is being nominated for a Razzie? Goodness. Maybe I should watch it under the influence, if at all.

 

[Sir Ollie]

Finally a awards ceremony worthy of this film.

 

[Julianking93]

People are so fucking stupid.

Seriously? 400 million at the box office?

OT, agreed. That movie was shit and I hold a grudge against my mother for making me go see it.

And Battlefield Earth would be my worst of the decade as well.

 

[Oyster^^]

I refuse to see this movie, but I'm quite sure it deserves the title. I think its pathetic that it made so much damn money. It means there's probably going to be more of them....

Oh yeah and I actually have seen Battlefield Earth (when I was younger and stupider). MAN that movie was shit. I'd nominate it for worst movie in history. Along with batman and robin...

 

[elvor0]

Hurrah! But then again, could it have been anything else?

 

[Vigilantis]

Perfect, but why didn't the first one get a reward like this, I find it much much worse than the second one.

 

[Haberley]

Finally, both Paris Hilton and Battlefield Earth get the recognition they deserve! I pride myself on having seen many bad films from many decades, but I really am hard-pushed to think of one worse than that - truly an acheivement!

 

[epsilon246]

I actually liked that film, turn your brain off and the action is decent but the plot was to long winded (really you have giant robots smashing each other to pieces plot is pointless)and it focuse to much on the military and not enough on the robots. and how did it get worst film of the year? it's a two (or three if your feeling generous) star film, and with new moon for one out this year I'm sure deserve it more.

 

[Cousin_IT]

I kinda liked Battlefield Earth, but I was like 12-13 at the time :$

 

[Zepren]

YES! YES! YES!

I hated this movie but a mate of mine loved it. so gonna rub it in his face.

 

[wooty]

How did Megan Fox not get worst actress? and to a lesser extent the worse couple?

Glad Bay got the worst director though, the only award he thoroughly deserves
