I don't think any of us are surprised.

A complete outrage! Travesty! The Razzies are rigged!

...

ROTF should have won more than just three.

Go Bay!

okay i admitt it was a letdown... but worst?????? i dont think so.

Yes well done razzies for making a name for themselves making fun of succesful blockbusters.

In all honesty how can ROTF be the worst movie when there are abortions like Dragonball: Evolution or Anacondas 3 made. The reason ROTF won this award is because no one would give a crap if they gave the award to either of those other 2 movies I mentioned or any other steaming pile made last year.

So congratulations Razzies you get the Bartrim sarcastic applause of the year.

The Razzies are no more or less a popularity contest than the Oscars are.

I'm not sure if I agree that DB:E and A3 were 'worse' in an objective sense. Both were significantly lower budget, and were playing to a very specific viewership.

Not wanting to restart old unresolvable debates, but I think that a film like RotF, taking into account its budget and the hundreds of thousands of work hours that went into its production, had at least had a basic obligation to be coherently plotted, acceptably paced and have characters of more than 1.5 dimensions. Given how poor it was on these counts relative to the first one, I think it has thoroughly earned its Razzies.

If there was any justice in the world, that film would be on the clearout shelves with DB:E and A3 for $13....

Oh wait - it is.

[SofaMan]

Oh I forgot - peripherally related was Sienna Miller getting Worst Supporting Actress for G.I. Joe.

So by that rationale shouldn't the Razzie go to Avatar considering all the time and money that wwent into that and it's nothing but a glitzed up version of Pocahontas?

Exactly what I said before...

There are other films that were much, much worse than ROTF, however you wouldn't hear about Halloween II being nominated for a Razzie cause if you did no one would give a crap anyway.

There's more shock and awe value in nominating a movie that made 800 million at the box office. It's the way that the Razzie's have promoted themselves by going after the big fish.

Now I'm not saying that ROTF was all it was cracked up to be, nor do I particularly care if it 'wins' a Razzie or not, but worst movie of the year... far from it.

And that's my 2 cents.

The Razzies are the same as the Oscars only certain types of movies are considered for each prize, those which don't fit the basic criteria don't count. ROTF fits the criteria, big loud exspensive, stupid, dissapointing and most importantly seen by many people. Something like Dragon Ball does not, I mean how many people who vote for these things would have actualy watched DBE anyway? Maybe 2?

I thought ROTF was a bit of a disappointment and it fits as Razzie winner, though for me the worst films will always be those that are utterly unmemorable in every sense like old what's its name...
