As 2012 concluded, many publications presented their take on the worst films of the year, but unfortunately, the one that gets the most attention are the Razzie Awards. Announcing just before the Oscars, the group usually goes for the biggest, most popular films, more or less celebrating mediocrity than anything else. The easiest target this year? The final entry into the vampire series The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II, which picked up Worst Picture and many more.
Rihanna, who actually gave a halfway decent performance in Battleship was attacked for her role, likely due to her pop star status, while Adam Sandler (who finally gave us a film we could actually laugh with) was another major target for That’s My Boy. Check out the full rundown and let us know what you think are actually the most miserable experiences you’ve had in the theater below.
