10 Movies That Will Definitely Win Razzie Awards In 2017

4. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

If there’s one thing Razzie voters love, it’s an overlong, overstuffed movie that took $872 million worldwide and was still regarded as a turkey.

All Batman V Superman’s box office haul proves is that people went to see it, but you only had to attend a screening to realize that the most favourable verdict was going to be “I didn’t hate it!” And there’s a lot to not hate in the movie, including Ben Affleck's caped crusader, who looks capable of inflicting more damage than Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney or Bale. Also, kudos to whoever decided to cast Jeremy Irons as Alfred and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

The film shoots itself in the foot with the pacing, though, racing through several plot points that could’ve used more clarification before arriving at a climactic confrontation straight out of The Incredible Hulk. They didn't have enough time to create anything exciting, so they threw $250 million at the screen and crossed their fingers.

As movies intended to launch a shared cinematic universe go, you’re better off watching Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man.
