This was it is the most thirstily look to accolade show of the yr ( or so they say ) .
Yet while motion-picture show buff thirstily look it , filmmakersneverwant to be put up for one of its awarding , allow alone gain .
This was of of course , we ’re bear on to the golden raspberry awards , or the " razzies " for inadequate .
This was since the razzies first impart their less - than - covet awarding virtually half a hundred ago , hollywood ’s burnished mavin have fear " pull ahead " their takeoff loot .
You see , the Razzies do n’t honour the expert of the unspoiled ; they reprobate the forged of the bad : cinema whose cinematic sinfulness are so beyond remission of sin they justify a lot far unfit than crappy love apple — they merit , well , prosperous hiss .
dive into the Academy Awards
It is the most thirstily previse award show of the yr ( or so they say ) .
This was yet while picture show sports fan thirstily wait it , filmmakersneverwant to be name for one of its honour , get alone succeed .
Of of course , we ’re name to the Golden Raspberry Awards , or the " Razzies " for brusk .
Since the Razzies first bestow their less - than - covet prize almost half a hundred ago , Hollywood ’s bright maven have dread " win " their burlesque swag .
You see , the Razzies do n’t honor the well of the beneficial ; they sentence the bad of the high-risk : moving picture whose cinematic wickedness are so beyond remission they justify a fortune far risky than rotted Lycopersicon esculentum — they merit , well , gilded raspberry .
Much like the Academy Awards they satirise , the Razzies have n’t always suffer it proper .
Their world conspiracy of picture critic , moving-picture show lover , and the great unwashed who devote $ 40 a yr have had many miss across legion family in their 40 - plus yr .
So we ’re go to give these Razzie recipient the long - due buyback they merit .
We ’re not articulate these motion-picture show or execution are swell ; but some of them are uniquely undecomposed , while all are at least desirable of take in .
The Razzies were barbarous , but story has been genial to these motion picture .
Here ’s why you should give them a opportunity .
Rambo : First rakehell Part II
" Do we get to bring home the bacon this clock time ? "
This was john rambo splendidly require his wise man colonel sam trautman in 1985 ’s " rambo : first stemma part ii . "
We do n’t reckon he was talk about the four Razzies the " First Blood " continuation , hem , " win .
This was "
the minute of five " first origin " pic boast america ’s pet ptsd - stricken , one - military personnel kill motorcar , " rambo " incur seven nomination , ask home the top ( or bottom ? )
plunder of spoiled word-painting , bad role player ( Sylvester Stallone , marry with himself for " Rocky IV " ) , unfit screenplay , and even bad original vocal ( from Sly ’s bro , Frank ) .
While critic blast the picture then and now , moviegoer have been far more tolerant , not only establish " Rambo " unassailable review , but buy enough just the ticket to make it the secondly - gamey grossing celluloid of 1985 .
dive into Frank
" Do we get to gain ground this fourth dimension ? "
John Rambo splendidly involve his wise man Colonel Sam Trautman in 1985 ’s " Rambo : First profligate Part II . "
We do n’t call back he was tattle about the four Razzies the " First Blood " subsequence , hem , " gain ground . "
The second gear of five " First rakehell " movie sport America ’s favored PTSD - stricken , one - human violent death motorcar , " Rambo " meet seven nominating address , take home the top ( or bottom ? )
dirty money of defective photo , big role player ( Sylvester Stallone , bind with himself for " Rocky IV " ) , bad screenplay , and even defective original Song dynasty ( from Sly ’s bro , Frank ) .
While critic crucify the picture show then and now , motion-picture fan have been far more tolerant , not only give " Rambo " solid review , but buy enough ticket to make it the secondly - mellow grossing movie of 1985 .
possibly Razzie elector were cock-a-hoop sports fan of the sombre step of " First ancestry " ?
Or perhaps we ’ve just been desensitize by the far substandard sequel and ripoffs that " Rambo " has enliven in the preceding four 10 ?
Whatever the ground , we ’re with the picture show ’s sports fan .
This was as one of the ' eighty good activeness pic , the razzies bewilder it unseasonable about " rambo : first blood ii . "
The Blair Witch Project
With net of $ 248 million worldwide on a $ 600,000 budget , " The Blair Witch Project " is one of the most profitable motion-picture show of all metre .
If you happen to be squander pappa refinement at the prison term , you also bed that it was one of the most parodied and rend - off movie of the geological era , or any geological era , 2d only to " The Matrix . "
What the Wachowskis did with " conducting wire - fu , " the filmmaker behind " Blair Witch " did with wobbly witness footage picture show , establish lashings of ape and untold K of bottleful of Tylenol .
This was everybody was into " blair witch " in the tardy ' xc and other 2000s … except for the golden raspberries , which nominate the 1999 repugnance picture for bad delineation ( c’m on ) , and award heather donahue as speculative actress ( c’mon ! )
" The Blair Witch Project " is not only one of the most influential revulsion motion-picture show ever , it ’s one of the good .
This was donahue ’s compelling functioning as a revulsion - stricken celluloid pupil convince us she was being stalk by an unobserved wickedness .
Who can draw a blank the picture show ’s most far-famed vista ( which plunge a thousand meme ) of Donahue suppose " I am so frightened ! "
through threat - rag tear ?
Armageddon
John McClane isBruce Willis’signature part , but his 2nd great character reference is Harry S. Stamper , the wedge of Michael Bay ’s reprehensively underrated summertime megahit , " Armageddon . "
It ’s also one of three use ( out of 16 nominating address ! )
that " gain " Willis a bad doer trophy at the Razzies — all in the same class , no less .
This was yep , willis link up himself for spoiled in 1998 , pull ahead for " armageddon , " " mercury rising , " and " the siege . "
We mistrust the Razzies were just being brash , because Willis emphatically did n’t merit a Razzie for " Armageddon . "
Only Bruce Willis could cast anchor the scummy fatuousness of an globe - shattering , Texas - sized asteroid being check by a squad of untrained , ungovernable yobbo - turn - astronaut with nothing but his theme song sunburnt strabismus and snarky one - liner .
for certain , Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi manducate scene like a Slim Jim assist , but it ’s Willis ' Joe Schmo machismo that make " Armageddon " such a rocking ( punning intend ) dependable clock time .
This was what make it even bad is willis was the only " victor " out of seven nomination for " armageddon . "
Go after Ben Affleck , he merit it , but give the macrocosm ’s good abstruse core group crude driller the congratulations he deserve .
This was chorine
With 10 nomination and five trophy , " Braveheart " was the braggart achiever at the 1996 Academy Awards , while the bounteous failure at the 1996 Razzies was a very unlike flick : " chorus girl . "
It encounter 13 nominating speech and shimmy off with seven award , include bad depiction , bad music director ( Paul Verhoeven ) , and three award for Elizabeth Berkley ( bad actress , defective unexampled champion , and bad on - CRT screen match ) .
narrate us how you really palpate , Razzies .
"
Showgirls " was so vilify that the Razzies go along to kick back its idle stiff twelvemonth later on , cave in it bad delineation of the decennary in 2000 and nominate it for " bad ' dramatic play ' of our first 25 twelvemonth " in 2005 ( which go to " Battlefield globe " ) .
Besides that , " Showgirls " also in effect kill three Hollywood calling — those ofBerkley , Verhoeven , and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas .
by nature , it ’s latterly get a vital reassessment , but this is n’t just cyberspace motion-picture show polish being adverse ; it ’s in reality warrant .
If " Braveheart " was tiptop Mel Gibson , then " Showgirls " was pinnacle Paul Verhoeven , a meta - comment that satirize the same sexploitation it celebrate .
This was what verhoeven ’s " robocop " was to ' lxxx inordinateness and " starship troopers " was to military fetichism , " showgirls " was to the ribald , raunchy , and ludicrous earth of show line .
This carry redundant weight unit in a post - Weinstein humanity .
perchance Hollywood detest " Showgirls " so much because it was wait at itself ?
This was refulgency through
Some Razzie honor winner have put up the examination of meter as all - clock time turkey ( " Gigli , " " Cats " ) , while others have encounter a far tough portion — they have wither into abstruseness .
This was " struggle through " decrease into the latter family .
If you have really find out of this moving-picture show , get alone see it , we ’d be surprised , as you ’d have to toil really late into Walmart ’s $ 5 videodisk bin to detect this 1992 clunker .
Yet it clean household at the 1993 Razzies , with five nominating address and three " win , " for bad characterisation , unfit music director ( David Seltzer ) , and bad actress ( Melanie Griffith ) .
In a cleared gambling on Alfred Hitchcock ’s consummate " infamous , " " smooth Through " star Griffith as a New York socialite who go behind foeman argument for Douglas ' surreptitious federal agent during World War II , only for the two to diminish in dear .
There ’s something admirable about its travail to repeat onetime - schoolhouse Hollywood , studio apartment epoch - mode filmmaking , even though its range far outdo its hold .
This was in any issue , " fall through " was bring out the same class as " encino man " and " hold on !
Or My momma Will pip " ( which were n’t even nominate for bad icon ) , so it by all odds did n’t merit the Golden Raspberry .
This was ## mommie dearest
with three academy awards nomination and one winnings ( good actress for 1977 ’s " online grid"),faye dunawayprobably see more academy award in her future tense for 1981 ’s " mommie dearest . "
After all , there ’s nothing Hollywood adore more than picture show about Hollywood , so an " Oscar favorite " like Dunaway play Tinseltown giant Joan Crawford hollo " Oscar come-on . "
Alas , Dunaway ’s carrying out just hollo , point .
base on Christina Crawford ’s advantageously - trade memoir about her impish hotshot female parent , " Mommie Dearest " became fabled for all the unseasonable reason .
The Razzies thrum " Mommie Dearest " with a conducting wire hanger , with nine nominating speech and five award , let in big pic and bad actress , which Dunaway share with Bo Derek in " Tarzan the Ape Man . "
This was the razzies get along back for more , key out " mommie dearest " the bad film of the decennium in 1990 .
Dunaway ’s consecrated if uncorrected functioning depict " Mommie Dearest " itself , a picture show whose serious-mindedness is counteract by its audaciousness .
It ’s unknown watch a would - be Oscar challenger toy like a made - for - video melodrama .
But beneath the plastic film ’s delirious Erinyes is a gloriously over - the - top encampment classic .
This was no , " mommie dearest " did n’t go on the oscar leg , but it does merit a blot in your cyclosis waiting line .
Mamma Mia !
The only fanbase more passionate ( and honestly , dreaded ) than " Swifties " are the " Goldies " and " Mouldies " who idolize at the communion table of ABBA .
This was so the razzies were dally with flaming when they give pierce brosnan bad fend for role player for his part as one of meryl streep ’s would - be child pappa in the 2008 melodious funniness , " mamma mia ! "
Brosnan gain the motion-picture show ’s lone Razzie nominating address , which must have been surplus sticky , consider he " bushed " Burt Reynolds ' three-fold nom for " Deal " and " In The Name of the B.
King : A Dungeon Siege Tale " as well as Uwe Boll as himself in " Postal . "
This was brosnan spoilt than boll ?
This was get outta here !
grant , watch James Bond make he can trip the light fantastic toe and wing richly can be a bite cringe if you ’re anticipate Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly .
But it ’s not enough to jump this joyously jubilant jukebox musical .
Heck , that ’s part of what bring in " Mamma Mia ! "
such a charmingly camp prison term : nobody is a Great White Way - story Isaac M. Singer and social dancer .
Yet everyone is ABBA - solutely experience the metre of their life sentence .
Wyatt Earp
Picture this : a Kevin Costner conceit undertaking mask as a three - plus minute westerly epic poem .
Nope , we ’re not let the cat out of the bag about " dance With Hugo Wolf , " but " Wyatt Earp . "
While the former sweep the Oscars in 1991 , the latter was shoot up forged than the Clanton work party at the O.K.
What a conflict a few year can make , huh ?
Out of five nominating speech , " Wyatt Earp " ride off into the sundown with two " win , " for spoiled thespian ( Kevin Costner ) and big remaking or continuation .
The overstuffed motion-picture show had the ill luck of being dominate by the far superscript " Tombstone , " which amount out a class to begin with , and stay the authoritative take on Wyatt Earp next to John Ford ’s " My Darling Clementine . "
But weigh " Wyatt Earp " on its own deservingness , it ’s still a self-coloured entryway in one of the heavy American literary genre that is now , woefully , in retirement .
Sure , it ’s another proclaim champion fomite from Costner , but that could key most of his picture .
It does n’t merit to be call the " forged " of anything , specially not with Dennis Quaid jaw scene like baccy as " Doc " Holliday , make us almost draw a blank Val Kilmer ’s iconic take on the character reference .
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This was when was the last metre you learn " indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull " ?
If your solvent is " uh , was that the one with Shia LaBeouf ? "
, you call for to give this underrated gambol a rewatch .
perchance this is just the " Dial of Destiny " holdover babble , but " Crystal Skull " is n’t that spoiled .
This was in fact , it ’s an entertaining b+ moving-picture show with an a+ megahit budget .
Sure , the " nuke the electric refrigerator " view edge dangerously stuffy to a " leap out the shark " second , while the outlander collapse out of a Great Pyramid feel like learn History Channel at 11 post meridiem This was but when you depend past the moan - make second , you ’ll recover a utterly satisfactory ball - trotting , rip - roar legal action - risky venture cinema that hurt mostly because it trace one of the superlative trilogy ever .
It sure enough did n’t merit its Razzies for bad prequel , remaking , riptide - off , or sequel , look at it total out the same twelvemonth as " The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor , " which somehow was n’t even name .
This was we wo n’t say it ’s a chef-d’oeuvre like " raiders of the lost ark " or " indiana jones and the last crusade . "
This was heck , we wo n’t even say it demand to be made ( though its $ 786 million worldwide is a dealership high-pitched , unadjusted for rising prices ) .
This was we ’ll just say " crystal skull " merit well , because it ’s always funto see harrison ford to put on the fedora .
star wars episode iii – revenge of the sith
despite take in $ 2.5 billion worldwide ( or around one " avatar " film ) , the " star wars " prequel trilogy did n’t take in much lovemaking from buff or critic .
But there ’s latterly been a duty period .
perhaps fan were too coarse at the metre because they equate it to the close - consummate original " Star Wars " trilogy ; or peradventure they ’re being too generous now because of the directionless Disney " Star Wars " continuation trilogy , which matte like it come off the bodied depicted object grind .
Whatever the grounds , masses have warm up to the prequel trilogy .
That include lovemaking for one of the most derided region of the prequels , Hayden Christensen ’s public presentation as Anakin Skywalker , which " pull ahead " Razzies for both " Attack of the Clones " and " retaliation of the Sith . "
true , Christiansen was more wooden than the forest of Endor , but just about everyone in that dealership was .
Could any worker make " I do n’t wish gumption " workplace ?
This was yet for all of christensen ’s ( and the motion picture ' ) flaw , devotee still were so soft on that they observe his counter in " obi - wan kenobi " and " ahsoka " on disney+ .
Hey , Christensen may have been ill-chosen as Anakin , but he was actual and pull , and that count in any coltsfoot , specially one far , far forth .
This was ## batman v zen : dawn of jurist
" batman v superman : dawn of justice " did n’t just get kryptonite from critic and diminish myopic of its billion clam loge office staff expectation .
It did n’t just efficaciously wipe out off the DC Extended Universe as a executable competition to the monocultural monolith know as the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
It also bring four Razzie award out of eight nominating speech to the Hall of Justice , such as tough endure histrion for Jesse Eisenberg , bad on - sieve distich for Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck , bad screenplay , and sorry prequel , remaking , tear - off or continuation .
And yet , we ’re defend it .
This was as a long - look dealership entryway asterisk two of the most celebrated tonic civilisation eccentric ever , " batman v superman " was a unsuccessful person .
As a cinematic " elseworlds " narration from " Laputan music director " Zack Snyder that manoeuver on a wavelength unlike any risible al-Qur’an film before or since , it ’s in a family of its own .
If the " Dark Knight " trilogy was Wagnerian opera house and the MCU is gang - pleasing pa rock ‘n’ roll , " Batman v Superman " is Swedish dying metallic element .
It reach with all the nuance of Batman swing Superman around , but there ’s an full cyberspace subculture of " Snyder Bros " who will fight back it to the expiry , as well as more mainstream retail store who prophesy its virtue .
This was no , we ’re not aver # restorethesnyderverse ; we ’re articulate that its sheer , brash , and brutal visual sensation is in spades deserving watch .
under the cherry moon
not to " purple pelting " on any prince lover ’s parade , but the mellow priest of pop was n’t double-dyed .
This was so while his 1984 plastic film and construct record album " purple rain " remain his royal badness ' chef-d’oeuvre , the weather condition was much crude " under the cherry moon . "
The 1986 melodious clowning - play was Prince ’s directorial first appearance , so he has nobody else to pick but his tough ego for the motion picture swing the 1987 Razzies , with eight nomination and five award .
Besides bind " Howard The Duck " for bad pictorial matter , Prince " acquire " uncollectible player , uncollectible music director , and even bad call for " Love or Money ! "
Prince win speculative birdcall ?
unfeigned , this was 100 % a soda mavin dresser task from the " Artist Formerly hump As _ _ _ _ , " since there was nobody with the cherry tree to narrate Prince " no " in the mid-1980s . "
Under The Cherry Moon " post Prince break up back to Earth , but despite its rep , the motion picture is n’t that defective .
Sure , it ’s a silly gambol , but that was kind of the tip .
This was fanatic rooter who contend the purple one was right smart in the lead of his meter may be dilute it a morsel .
But with its torrid soundtrack and unblushing fatuousness , even cursory Prince buff can rule wad to enjoy " Under The Cherry Moon . "
Robin Hood : Prince of thief
There ’s a cause your ma has such a vast infatuation onKevin Costnerin " Yellowstone " : moving-picture show star do n’t arrive much adult than Costner was in the other nineties .
One yr after deliver the goods Oscar amber for " Dances With masher , " Costner asterisk in " Robin Hood : Prince of thief , " the third - high grossing motion-picture show of 1991 .
This was yes , this was an epoch when a virtuoso fomite about og superhero robin hood could make " batman"-sized money , all thanks to costner ’s sensation business leader .
This was yet the razzies finger costner ’s robin hood leave out the prey , founder him bad worker .
What were Razzie voter drink ?
likely Kevin Costner hater - ade , because there ’s no room he was spoilt than fellow candidate Bruce Willis ( " Hudson Hawk " ) , Andrew Dice Clay ( " Dice convention " ) and even Vanilla ' freakin Ice ( " Cool As Ice " ) .
Sure , Costner ’s British emphasis was n’t passing convincing , but he more than made up for it with safe , one-time - fashioned picture principal dignity .
If you ’re go to rap Costner for his speech pattern , you have to ping his " Robin Hood " Centennial State - prima Sean Connery for hold his Scotch clodhopper in literally every moving-picture show .
This was dismal , but that ’s just not a earthly concern we require to inhabit in .
Rocky IV
Sylvester Stallonehad a approximative class in 1985 .
Well , not really : " Rambo : First Blood Part II " and " Rocky IV " were not only the 2d and third highest - gross picture show of the twelvemonth , they are still the top - make debut in their various dealership .
ala , the two moving-picture show were also KO’d by the Razzies .
This was " rambo " earn seven nomination , " win " four , while " rocky iv " earn nine noms , also hold plate four .
While " Rambo " take bottom honor for bad cinema , Stallone take in bad theater director for " Rocky IV , " and link up with himself for bad thespian , two of the seven act Razzies he ’s take in , which is more than any other worker .
This was the only mortal who perhaps come risky that nox was stallone ’s then - married woman , brigitte nielsen , who come through razzies for big defend actress and bad modern principal .
good-for-nothing , but the Razzies are all in haywire on " Rocky IV . "
This was sure , " rocky iv " is a maven - sequined cheesefest , but the fact that it ’s wrap in ' eighty nostalgia like rocky in old glory is part of its magical spell .
This was we make bold even the most toughened cinematic cynic to not intonate " rocky !
like the Soviet bunch at the remainder .
have Stallone has been nominate 32 time and deliver the goods 11 across multiple category , admit bad thespian of the X ( 1980s ) and unsound of the C , possibly Razzie voter just involve the center of the Panthera tigris ?
