15 Stupidest Movie Moments Of 2015

12. Any Scene Featuring Eddie Redmayne - Jupiter Ascending

The Moment: Eddie Redmayne plays Balem Abrasax, the movie's villain, and spends the entirety of the film either whispering extremely quietly (because he's super-old, right?), or screeching like he just graduated from the Gary Oldman School of Overacting. See it for yourself here, specifically the hilarious "I create life!!!" scene. Why It's Stupid: On one hand, Redmayne's performance is easily the most entertaining thing in the movie, but it's also a ridiculously tone-deaf turn that only makes the already credibility-straining plot seem that much more ridiculous. It's amazing that directors as well-versed in blockbuster filmmaking as the Wachowskis didn't hear Redmayne's voice and correct him on-set: instead they let him make a fool out of himself and the movie. It goes without saying that he'll be in heavy Razzie contention in a few months, which could certainly harm his Oscar chances for The Danish Girl.
