Age of Extinction leads the 2015 Razzies Nominations

Nailed it.

Better film directors and screenwriters are required for the future of TF movies.

I'm happy that 'Left Behind' was not ignored. The moment the muslim-guy kicked the, ah, small person out of the plane was pure gold.

The people behind the razzies fully admit they don't even watch the movies they nominate and elect. They go my imdb, rotten tomatoes and the box office. Giant waste of time

And yet you reply.

Didn't they already do that movie?

Yeah. It's a remake by the same writer. This version has Nicolas Cage for some reason.

Just like the Academy Awards, Razzies are about what movie is popular...to hate.

I guess they figured all the nerds were still angry about Ninja Turtles.

Exactly, as soon as people saw what the turtles looked like they got their panties in a wad. I'm starting to think that's why movies like Transformers and Ninja Turtles get so much hate when movies like The Avengers don't. It's all about character design, if they update the way they look some people consider it an act of war.

There's a reason this is a usable emoticon:

That pretty much sums why there's so much hate against the movies, if they were well made far less people would complain about the designs, for example, MTMTE redesigned many characters (I didn't recognize Red Alert when I first saw him) and everyone loves that series to the point some toys are actually made with Alex Milne's designs. And they are glorious.

Still, some took it to the extreme, like Skids' unnecesary gold tooth and Galvatron and AOE Optimus' imposible-to-transform designs, those I can't defend.

So much worse than any of the TF movies.
(Well, OK, maybe not TF2, that was crap on a stick.)

I came home and watched the original TMNT live action movie just to floss my brain from the awfulness.

But TF4 was pretty far from Shakespeare and deserves razzie nominations, but at the core they are still entertaining, mindless popcorn flicks.

Yeah? I tried watching the old Turtles movies and just switched them off. Did not age well, IMO.

Tmnt was a great movie to me. And I am a big tmnt fan. What upsets me is that the obvious resaon it was chosen was because the major minds behind the movie have a bad reputation in the action buisness.

I don't see where the Transformers movies failed at that, but the Avengers succeeded. The plot of that movie was basically "Loki bad. Avengers assemble. Pew pew pew, kaboom. The end" I've seen the same thing in other movies. They changed Spider-Man's costume and people hated it. Then when the movie came out they saw it already hating it. Man of Steel got rid of Superman's red outside-the-pants underwear and people threw a fit. Then when they saw the movie they already hated it because they're too stubborn to accept change.

True, but what I'm saying is why do some mindless action movies get universal praise where others don't? Why do some movies get criticized for doing one thing, where another movie get applauded for doing the exact same thing?
