I did a double take seeing Mel Gibson get redeemer award seeing how his career didn't get timeout for quality. But apparently he was previously nominated for Expendables 3. And apparently he was in Expendables 3. And apparently Expendables 3 is a real movie.

BvS was disappointing but Independence Day 2 was worse. Heck, BvS ain't even the worst movie in the DCEU. That would be Squad.
God of Egypt was far worse than BvS and they both are not anywhere near as bad as Zoolander 2 (which was just offensively bad).
You're on your own with that opinion.

A well deserved win. Zuckerlex was awful.

I completely forgot that Hillary movie existed. But yeah, that deserves the "wins" over BvS.
I don't really get it either. I didn't find it quite as funny as the original, but no way Razzie worthy. And Kristen Wiig even getting one specifically for her performance? Thought her character was pretty funny

Seriously. Its not a misunderstood mess.
Its just shit.
Edit: However Zoolander 2 and Suicide Squad are much worse films than BvS
Oh man, I disagree with almost all of that. Cyclops was barely a character, the Quicksilver seen was a bad rehash of the last movie but with even worse CG somehow and lets not forget it straight up had filler. There was a big chunk of that movie that was only there to stop the heroes getting to the villain too early (the Wolverine section.)
I did like the early Magneto stuff, but it just made the rest of the film worse because Magneto was reduced to nothing afterward.
Suicide Squad was terrible but it at least had some fun stupid action moments, Apocalypse didn't even have a good action scene in it.
and BvS' entertainment value is around the "I got your nose" joke.
fully deserved rewards.

Nah. As much flaws as it has, there really has to have been 5 worse movies. And there weren't really anything wrong with Afflecks performance in it.
To me fundamentally it's terrible because it turns from a winking self-parody of fashion and celebrity culture to becoming totally subsumed by it. It's like Anchorman 2 where it just started becoming massive amounts of cameos.
Well, personally felt the idea was to out-dumb the first movie by making it more absurd, that's how i took it and why i liked it, i expected something more ridiculous and "dumber" than Z1 and i got it.
138 pages for a RottenTomatoes thread, and I was there for all of it.

The action in Suicide Squad was absolutely horrendous imo. That first shootout against the weirdo monsters was the laziest action scene of last year. And the climax was terrible. The Apocalypse opening scene in Egypt destroys SS by itself and it's not even that good compared to Singer's other intros. I'm not claiming it's a great film by any means but it was at least competent in some areas. SS had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Actually no, while that is a type of raspberries/razzie, the actual action of "blowing a raspberry" is when you stick your tongue out between your lips and blow, making the "thbbbtt" fart sound the Razzies are named after.
There might be technically worse movies out there, but the Razzies include a lot of the hype and expectations that a movie gets IMO. For that reason, BvS deserves everything it got. I am so glad Eisenberg and Affleck won a Razzie. Totally deserving.
Overall worst has to be Zoolander 2, but I haven't and won't see the Hillary movie.

i'm still surprised so many people are obsessed with hating on a movie
Yeah?
They picked the wrong DC movie. I found Suicide Squad to be almost unbearably bad and a complete mess of a movie. Despite the glaring characterization and narrative flaws, I still found BvS to be okayish overall and mildly entertaining.
Eisenberg and Leto both seem in the same position. They played their roles as the script and director intended. The problem was those characters were horribly conceived and completely out of place in their movies (Leto Joker less so since he's barely in SS). EisenLex is an insufferable bratty narcissist who for some reason has his paws over every major plot development in BvS. He's potentially the worst written supporting character of those listed, but Eisenberg at least seemed to have fun with the role and make its sheer awkwardness entertaining.

It wasn't all that bad. Bad, yes, but it knew. And the two main characters were okay I guess?
I hate both, but I think I would put IDR over BvS because I at least got some laughs out of how bad IDR was. I only laughed once in BvS; the rest was a miserable slog.

What the heck? Come on dudes! It's things like this that are the reason we can't have nice things.
(Look away Ben, everything is fine, you are great, you are incredible, everyone loves you. Ben you must love you, you are not sad, you are happy. Don't think about that last movie of yours. I don't know the name of it but apparently you are bummed out about it. Don't be bummed out, it wasn't your fault, blame it on the rain, yeah, yea.)

Nice to see Douche D'Souza get shit on again.
Leto did not get robbed. His Joker was terrible but Eisenberg's Luthor was transcendent in its wrongheadedness. A masterclass in how to do absolutely everything wrong with a character in every imaginable way. I mean at least Leto's Joker had green hair and chalky skin, paying some kind of homage to the source material. Eisenberg's Luthor was just Max Landis with VC backing.

I need to read up on this Hillary's America film. Hadn't heard of it until now.
I knew Eisenberg was going to run away with that award soon as I saw the film. He was more "cringey try hard villain" than Leto's Joker was in my book.
Affleck wasn't bad in BvS.

Alice Through the Looking Glass
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Dawn of Justice - WINNER
Fifty Shades of Black
Independence Day: Resurgence
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Zoolander No. 2
LOL... there's a clear runner and it's not BvS... how anyone thinks ID isn't the worst movie of the year...

IMO:
BvS>ID>Suicide Squad
I kinda like BvS but I admit it's flawed as hell. ID was just formulaic as hell and dull. Suicide Squad was a mess from start to finish, with a few interesting characters and scenes saving it from being completely unwatchable.
I enjoyed Hail, Caesar and the Witch less than all three movies but I won't deny that they're much more well-crafted movies, both are really just not up my ally at all.
Entertainment wise, BvS > SS > ID
What would be the worst? BvS > ID > SS... though that ending for ID really might put it as the worst...

With other nominations along the lines of Fifty Shades Darker, it shouldn't be "winning" any of these awards. It's not a great movie but not quite as terrible as they're trying to paint it. Jesse turned in a good performance but I wager the criticism comes from him being a much different kind of Lex Luthor-- but that was the direction he was given.
A conservative who went to jail for violating campaign finance law and claimed there was a conspiracy against him.
Basically a giant moron.
