Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
It figures the Razzies and movie talk are participants in war against Christianity.

Left Behind is a must watch in its badness. Saving Christmas just looks annoying.

Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
I used to be a Razzie voter, but don't do it anymore...since the guy that runs them essentially doesn't let anyone else pick the nominees (he takes suggestions, but the pre-ballot and final ballot are always the same). So it's basically, "vote from these limited choices" without any input from others. So the list always reflects who he wants to make fun of rather than who really gave the worst performances of the year.
Case in point this year: look at all the TMNT hate. I actually liked that movie, and even if you didn't, I'm sure you'll agree it's far from one of the five worst movies of 2014. Also, it happens to have one of Megan Fox's BEST performances...granted, she's not winning any awards for it, but she far from embarrassed herself.

I like that they put a Razzie Redeemer category (i wonder if Sandler would be on the list if Men Women & Children had been well recieved..

Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
The "Redeemer" category is a little too positive for the Razzies. Nevertheless, while I keep track of them, it doesn't seem like anyone who votes is required to have actually SEEN all the nominees.
I miss the Worst Original Song category also.

Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
Transformers IV is nowhere near the worst picture. It's only on there cause it's hip to Bay Bash.
Adam Sandler, and his films, should never be on this list since the man is a genius. That goes double for Melissa McCarthy.
Kristen Stewart hasn't done nearly enough to be "redeemed"
We can probably all agree that Annie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were shit.

TMNT was more watchable than Transformers IV in the fact that it wasn't 3 hours long.

'Annie' to me wasn't that bad - of course I went into it with my expectations set very very low. (It's this generation's 'Xanadu')

Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
I typically don't hold much stock in what professional critics (and/or wannabe critics) have to say about movies. They love to pick movies apart for flaws then condemn them for those flaws (and they love to hate Michael Bay for some reason). I tend to agree with the average ratings given by real people who watch movies to be entertained, Age of Extinction got 4 out of 5 stars at Amazon after 2.818 reviews. I agree. I found AoE to be a fun and entertaining movie, glad to have it in my collection.

Re: 35th Annual Razzie Nominations
The characters in Age of Extinction made me long for Sam Witwicky. Not a horrible movie, but still not that good. The human characters have always held back the franchise from being really good. That, and they're all too long. Fun, sure, but too long. Still better than the new Ninja Turtles turdfest. I'm glad I merely rented that one. Yikes.
