10 Movies From 2017 That Deserve Razzie Awards (But Weren't Nominated)

10. Ghost In The Shell

Accusations of whitewashing aside, if you watch the Ghost In The Shell trailer with the sound muted, it doesn’t exactly look like the cutting edge sci-fi actioner it thinks it is. It’s a bit Blade Runner and a bit The Matrix and a lot like how you imagined a big bucks Americanization of the source material might look.

Astounding, it is not. Factor in that the director’s last film was Snow White And The Huntsman and you have two perfectly good reasons to nominate the movie for Worst Picture.

The fact that the lead characters are played by Caucasians while the supporting cast is made up of Asian actors puts the movie on the same level as the live-action versions of Fist Of The North Star and Crying Freeman, both from 1995. Ghost In The Shell’s Takeshi Kitano was also in Johnny Mnemonic, another futuristic flop from 1995, so the future clearly isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
