G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra Makes the Razzies

[Lt Storm]

It's inevitable, most movies make the Razzies with little surprise. G.I.Joe RoC is one of them with several nominations, along with other movies such as Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Twilight New Moon. Movies that were quite the buzz, seemed to appear several times on the list.

As for G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra its nominations include...

Worst Picture 2009
Worst Supporting Actor - Marlon Wayans
Worst Supporting Actress - Sienna Miller
Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel 2009 (...uh...okay...)
Worst Director - Stephen Summers
Worst Screenplay 2009

Are these nominations for G.I.Joe RoC justifiable or bullocks? If I could vote Marlon Wayans would get mine. I didn't think Sienna Miller was that bad as Baroness, she played the role written for her. I really don't get the Remake, Rip-Off, Sequel nomination, it wasn't a remake or sequel. A rip-off...don't see how since Hasbro was involved and ok'd the film.

To see all the nominees just go to Razzies.com and click on the categories along the left side.

I did not care for Wayans but I thought Miller was good.

[General Scarlett]

While Wayans wasn't MY 1st choice for the movie, he was much better than 'wood boy' Channing Tatum.....methinks the Razzies should be razzed themselves for poor choice.....


What would've made Sienna's performance better? An accent and not 'caving' at the end with Duke.....she's an ice queen for a reason-if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Other than that, I was pleased with her take on Anastasia.

I'm just glad that they didn't target Rachel-while she's not *completely* perfect, I thought she really did a good job portraying Scarlett...but I may be partial

Ditto.

Hell, I thought Wayans gave one of the better performances of the picture. Well, not better. Least bad, let's say.

As for the movie, it was the worst movie of 2009 that I saw, so I guess it has my vote. Yo joe, or words to that effect.

[Dusty Ayers]

Everybody has their beef with things and the Razzie guys have their opinions but TF2 and Joe made a combined total of $550 million domestic so......

[Swivel-Arm Beer-Grip]

Just as Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, et. al. have sold millions of records. And so it goes and ever shall be.

• for Worst Picture of 2009
  well they have some stiff competition from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
• Worst Supporting Actor of 2009
  Marlon Wayans
  stiff competition there too, ironically I think he was better than anyone on that list so he shouldn't win it
• Worst Supporting Actress of 2009
  Sienna Miller
  again I doubt she will win it, her acting was not that bad, I half expected Rachel Nichols to be here
• Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel (Combined Category for 2009) huh?
• Worst Director of 2009
  Stephen Sommers
  No way Michael Bay can lose here
• Worst Screenplay of 2009 if ever there could be ties
• I'm surprised Sienna Miller & Channing Tatum aren't in this category... Worst Screen Couple of 2009

Bah! No such thing as bad publicity!

Besides who cares what those razzies people think?

[Dusty Ayers]

Honestly I think if it weren't for the 3D, Avatar could easily have made the Razzies. The acting for some is terrible and the story is as laughable as any storyline for a big budget blockbuster.

Some say the same thing about the Oscars.

Hell, George C Scott called it a "meat parade" and he has a statue for his performance as Patton

[therapychicken]

Like the Oscars, the Razzies are now a popularity contest--the things that win are what it is popular to hate.

That said, I love the way they list some of the nominations, in years passed "Britney Spears and WhatsHisFace" were up for Worst Screen Couple (from Crossroads) and Kevin Kline was up for (I think) worst actor and worst actress for Wild Wild West, in which he appeared in drag.

I also think that there is no way it's going to get half of these, let alone all, with Revenge of the Fallen in the running.

[Shinnobi]

Besides who cares what those razzies people think?

exactly! i don't.

[PrimeOp]

Sales don't prove the quality of the product as much as they show how many people they could get to buy the product.

Wayans was one of the better parts of the flick by being more than generic-action-dude and that more than made up for the fact that he didn't look like the little plastic toy he was based on.

The Razzies are made of fail until they explain how G.I.JOE is a remake, rip-off or sequel.

[viperscout7]

Technically G.I. Joe is a sequel to transformers in some way. I remember reading about it somewhere
