I don't take these awards seriously anymore. It's all just opinion.
Opinion by people in the industry which does tend to make it somewhat more informed than a bunch of people who aren't.
what people are losing sight of here is that in terms of an actual deep, profound and truly epic movie, TF2 really does fail.
The problem with Michael Bay, as exemplified by the TFLAM franchise is that if he has a choice between toilet humour and explosions, or character/plot development and exposition, he'll practially always go for the former. That's not any kind of good movie, just a fun juvenile light and sound show.
Someone here tried to compare the work of Nickelback to Micheal Bay, but the difference is that for all the hatred, Nickelback's stuff does stand the test of time in at least some cases. Bay's stuff simply isn't that good.
The first movie fell short of what the franchise actually deserved in terms of quality storytelling, and the second one was even worse. Calling it the worst movie of 2009 isn't a bad call at all, in fact objectively it's pretty spot on.
Sure it took alot of money in the box office, but so what, The Jerry Springer Show gets plenty of ratings to the point where it's not going off the air any time soon either- that doesn't make it a quality TV show, just proves that there are alot of that type of demographic around.
IMHO, that was the point of this Rassie. The film was that bad and such a high money earner that someone needed to point out that takings do not make a quality film.
If it earned peanuts, in line with the quality of the film, then it probably would have gone under the radar- but with its budget, takings and what was actually delivered, what do people honestly expect here?
