Don't worry, ted, this movie isn't up for anything. It was up for consideration, but never made it to the finals, so if you enjoyed it, that's fine. We have much worse movies to razz.]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:19:16 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3931&PID=28574#28574 AMELIA : Soar Loser?!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3931&PID=28544#28544 Author: ted

I REALLY liked this film. In fact I think was the best new film I've seen in several years.

It was a good break from all the sex, violence, and toilet humor in Hollywood films these days.

Both times I saw it in the theater, I was the youngest person there. (I'm 29) Having learned about Amelia Earhart in first grade, I've always been interested in her.

I also noticed that the negative reviews written by critics were written by men and/or people under 50. Carrie Rickey (Philadelphia Inquirer)  and Roger Ebert both gave positive reviews to the film.  I would say this is Oscar worthy even though the acting wasn't too great, it is the story of a great pioneer and feminist icon. I'm not at all a feminist, but I think the negative reviews for the film may have been partly because of latent misogyny on the part of the critics, or they are too young to appreciate her achievements.

It is a shame the people don't appreciate movies like this anymore. 40 years ago, it would have been a hit!

look at the vote demographics on IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129445/ratings

Women and people over 45 gave it the highest ratings. Also do people only know how to give it 1 or 10 stars ? Honestly, does it deserve only one when compared to Baby Geniuses 2 or 10 when compared to Citizen Kane? I'd give this film an 8 or 9.

Amelia. Along with What Goes Up..., New in Town, and Did You Hear About the Morgans?, has been recommended only for Worst Actress or Worst Supporting Actress and nothing more. Out of those four, I'd rather it have been Sarah Jessica Parker (DYHAtM?), but if not her, it should be Hilary Swank.
 
Alas, I'm hoping none of those four movies get nominated.

This movie's performance was an unmitigated disaster, even by the pathetic standards of this past weekend.

Ok. Jeez! You don't have to get so offensive.

My deepest apologies if the facts offend you. If it's any consolation, I'm sure the people who invested in this train wreck are even more upset than you at this moment.

This is a $40 million movie that has pulled in a paltry $4.7 million to date.

Yeah, MWG, just remember that even "Bangkok Dangerous" was #1 at the Box Office once, but all it grossed that weekend was $7 million. It's not the position in the charts that matter, it's the overall gross that does.]]> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:00:47 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3931&PID=27013#27013 AMELIA : Soar Loser?!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3931&PID=27010#27010 Author: saturnwatcher

Compared to....WHAT? This is a $40 million movie that has pulled in a paltry $4.7 million to date. The people who made this movie could have generated better box-office numbers stringing together 4 episodes of The Flying Nun.

Unquestionably, this is in the running for the title of "Biggest Box-Office Flop of 2009".
