As usual, the Razzie Award nominations are released one day before the Oscar nominations, and of course an Adam Sandler film received a good amount of nominations.
Out of all the Worst Picture nominees, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and Fifty Shades Of Grey are the only two films I haven't seen in their entirety. Both films are on HBO, and I might watch bits and pieces every now and then, but I quickly lose interest and change the channel to something else after a while.
Fantastic Four is really not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. It's kind of dull and bland, but the movie was doomed from the word go with a tidal wave hate before the first trailer hit. That, and you have to believe FF 2015 had a tough hill to climb as a major superhero film that's short on high octane action/fight scenes and ceaseless sequences of mass destruction and anarchy, breaking away from the popular routine or formula in the Marvel films and more recently Man Of Steel to focus on building a story and the characters. Although, according to Josh Trank, it wasn't his call to cut some of the crucial action scenes from the film.
Worst Director and Worst Sequel? Give it to Tom Six and The Human Centipede III. Part III is easily the worst film in the series, and to add to that, Six comes off as a massive tool on social media, while trying to present himself as this bold renegade filmmaker, who's not afraid to break all the rules.
Will Smith doesn't need a Redeemer Award. He delivered good performances in terrible (the decision to give the vast majority of screen time to Jaden, as an annoying and whiny main character, over Will Smith of all people is still one of the more baffling decisions I've seen in any type of film) or mediocre (Focus) films, and that's about it.
Stallone is up here, because if I remember correctly, he usually receives a fair amount of nominations for The Expendables films (and Escape Plan a few years ago), but I have to go with Shyamalan for The Visit. I won't go as far as calling The Visit a redemption film, because it's not that good, but when you compare it to all of Shyamalan's awful films going back to The Village, Lady In The Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender, The Visit is definitely a step in the right direction for the future.
And I guess I'm in the small group of people, who actually enjoyed and didn't have a big problem with Mortdecai.
