5. Jack and Jill. This 2011 comedy was just terrible. Simply awful. This movie was the first ever to win Razzies for ALL THE CATEGORIES. Adam Sandler even won worst actress for his role as Jill. Quoting from a reporter for the magazine Variety, "The pic's general stupidity, careless direction and reliance on a single-joke premise that was never really funny to begin with are only the most obvious of its problems.” This basically says all you need to know about this movie, it’s cheap and not something you will ever watch twice.
Plot: Circling around the twins Jack and Jill, complete opposites to each other, except they are both played by Adam Sandler… Jack, the more gifted of the two, is living the life with his fancy job and his fancy wife and kids while Jill, the less capable of them (do I detect sexism?)still lives in their childhood home with no partner or plans for the future. Jill decides to spend thanksgiving with her brother and his family, which Jack finds highly annoying. So Jill ruins thanksgiving, tries online dating, 93 minutes later it’s over and you’ve just wasted that much time of your life you could spend doing literally anything else and it would have been more productive (This goes for all the movies on this list by the way.)
4. Superbabies: Baby geniuses 2. Though this movie is a pretty old one I felt it just had to be a part of the list. The pure concept of it is laughable, and was very much disliked. This joke of a movie is widely considered one of the worst movies of all time. This movie earned less that half of it’s budget back after the release. This is also a movie with terrible effects, granted of course it’s an old one, but the script is still weird and the plot is still a parody of itself.
Plot: Following the theme of the prequel, the movie is built around a theory that babies under the age of two are actually geniuses, a couple of babies have to defeat “Kane” who plans to take over the world using a satellite that will brainwash the world into living out their lives in front of the TV. The babies get help from a “very powerful baby” because of a very special drink he drinks (baby steroids?) to defeat the enemy.
3. Twilight saga. This 2008-2012 fantasy/drama/romance novel had great potential. With the book franchise being a bestseller the movie adaptations were a big letdown. From the poor script and the acting of Kristen Stewart, to the fact that vampires don't sparkle, the last film of the series managed to be nominated for 11 Razzies, some of them being worst picture, worst screenplay, worst actress and actor, worst screen couple and so on. But if you just take a closer look at what drives main character Bella so obsessed with the vampire Edward it really comes down to the looks. After all, it's what got her attention in the first place and what is mentioned throughout all the movies, and (spoilers) half the reasons she wants to become a vampire. So she could be beautiful too. I’m also pretty sure Edward is a pedophile, considering he’s like 100 years old and Bella is still a minor…
Plot: When the 17-year old Bella Swan moves from her previous home in the warm and sunny Phoenix to the small and somehow always rainy town of Forks she meets Edward, a beautiful and mysterious boy, whom she is soon to fall in love with. She later discovers he’s a vampire, but not a bad vampire, a good vampire because he only kills animals…? Then a bad vampire comes after Bella and he has to protect her. Basically.
2. The last airbender. After the successful 2005- 2008 cartoon series came to an end the intention was to make three live action movie adaptations for it. To put it shortly; it was a disaster. In the end only one movie was made with no plan of continuing. The 2010 fantasy adventure film was 103 minutes of poor acting and crappy special effects even with their 150 million USD budget. Not to mention all the vital scenes from the series that were for some reason cut out. This movie too, was nominated for the Razzie awards, some of them being worst picture, worst director and worst eye- gouging misuse of 3D. In the end it won five of the nine they were nominated for.
Plot: Taking place in a medieval world where different people have the power to control one of the four elements, (water, earth, fire and air) there was one who had the power to control them all, the avatar. This person would be born into one of the four elements later to master them all and protect the world from harm, when the avatar then died the spirit would be reborn into another of the four cultures. Where the movie starts the avatar has been missing for 100 years after he was supposed to be born into the air nation. Siblings Sokka and Katara of the waternation then finds the avatar, a 12-year old boy named Aang, frozen in ice. Aang who only knows airbending must master all the elements and stop the firenation from destroying them.
1. Sharknado. Claiming first place, this catastrophic 2013 horror action movie is literally just what the name says. A tornado arises in the ocean, lifting thousands of sharks into the air. This movie makes absolutely no sense ,with the most obvious reason being the laws of physics, and the fact that if sharks were in the air they would not be able to breathe with their gills… This movie is so bad, so to watch the first 20 minutes is just cringing and suffering. The effects are hilariously awful and there were several scenes of before the tornado hit where people were attacked by sharks standing knee-deep in water, and even more people with bite wounds clearly not caused by sharks, more similar to dog-bites maybe. When watching the movie another question arises; what about all other life in the ocean? Sharks are not the only creature of the sea, yet they were the only ones being swooped up by the tornado, if anything they’re the ones who should remain in the water while smaller beings like fish, who are much smaller and lighter could easily be swept along. I guess we’ll never know…
Plot: Like mentioned before a massive hurricane hits Los Angeles bringing up all sharks into the sky and lots of people die and there are main characters but it really doesn’t matter since you should not be watching this movie.
