The BvS cast was not really the problem, it was the writers and director, they should be nominated if anyone.

Millionaire movie stars feelings aren't going to get hurt by an honest comment on a forum.
Both DC movies will perform very well at the Razzies. As for those talking about Affleck; as good a Bruce Wayne he was, as soon as he put on the Batman costume, he was even less convincing and more hilarious than the Halloween Vader costume from Rogue One. Probably the worst film Batman performance in decades.

Was gonna say, Ben and Irons were good and don't belong on there. The rest...

They're shitbombs because they're bad movies, not commercial succeses. Look at this
Freaking Cypher Raige in After Earth. Come on. If all anyone cares about is commercial success, then we should put Robert Pattison on a pedestal because his dumb teen vampire heartthrob movies made assloads.
Yeah well he can sell out all he wants. We all know he is a gifted actor, but he's more interested in cash and dumb oscar baits.

Yeah they were actually good. This draws the rationale behind the rest of the awards into question.

Apparently a lot of you didn't watch Assassins Creed. Irons is fucking awful in it.
Most everyone was. But Irons was either drunk and/or half asleep.

Judging by the Box Office I'd say you're probably right.
He was nominated for BvS as well, which is what people are commenting on.
That's how it starts. The critics "Worst of the Year" lists, the Razzies, that turns the DC Cinematic Universe...into an even bigger joke than it currently is.
In all seriousness, this was not that much of a surprise. Short of the Angry Birds film, no movie made me more infuriated by the baffling creative decisions, terrible direction and maggot-infested script than that of Batman V. Superman. If Wonder Woman turns out to be the disaster many are reporting it is behind the screen, i'm more done with this film universe than Frank Miller's relationship with sanity.

Suicide Squad will win it all. If it doesn't then the Razzies is a joke bigger than the joke that started Razzies in the first place.

Yup. Snyder is not perfect but he's becoming ridiculously unfairly maligned. It's a shame because you know the DC stuff is eventually just going to end up becoming Marvelized to make people happy.
Hell, we're probably going to get at least 12 more quips than necessary in Justice League. Because god forbid superheroes don't do gentle comedy.

Deserved. DC's movies are fucking terrible.

I liked it.
It's not a masterpiece, but it really doesn't deserve this much shit in the year of Zoolander 2 and Independence Day: Resurgence. Maybe it's because I don't consider the characters too sacrosanct to care if Batman kills and Superman is emo.

I like seeing BvS be seen as the terrible movie it is but it certainly wasn't the worst film of the year. It certainly had more heart and soul than Assassin's Creed.

I thought Affleck was cringe worthy at best.
BvS and Suicide Squad deserve criticism, but if the Razzies are supposed to be the Anti-Oscars, they need to actually put some effort into their shortlist/nominations. They seem to just pick a dozen films that were critically panned, and nominate every feature of said films.
There's zero case for Ben Affleck or Will Smith's performances in BvS/Suicide Squad being in the top 10 worst for the year. Both were better than almost everyone else in their own films, let alone the many stinkers of 2016. Where are Cara Delevingne, Joel Kinnaman, or Jay Hernandez in the supporting actors categories? Not on the list because their names don't get clicks/media coverage.

The acting was the absolute least of the movie's problems imo. I thought the cast did well with what they were given.
