It has a little over 40 reviews so far, almost 30 saying it's rotten. If this trend keeps up, I think it's safe to say that it's one of ours.]]> Tue, 17 May 2011 16:34:04 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41775#41775 PIRATES of the CAROB-BEAN #4 : YO, HO...HEAVE HO??!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41762#41762 Author: Vheid

I don't know. I just see 50% as not good or bad, it's the half way point. So anything below 50% should be considered bad, in my opinion.]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 12:58:00 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41727#41727 PIRATES of the CAROB-BEAN #4 : YO, HO...HEAVE HO??!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41696#41696 Author: GTAHater767

I wasn't at all angry at the "Ghosts Of Girlfriends' Past" over "Origins: Wolverine" thing, mostly because I saw "GOGP" as just another rehashing of "A Christmas Carol", and we all know how much Hollywood LOVES public domain material (they can rehash it every ten years ... or every 6 months!). I'll take a bad comic book movie over Hollywood reaching into it's bag of public domain tricks for the millionth time. For example: this year, I'd gladly see "X-Men: First Class" over the 10 billionth adaptation of "The Three Musketeers", but that's just me.
 
As for RT, I don't care if 50% is considered "fresh", as far as I'm concerned, anything at 50% or below is up for Razzie grabs!

For May 1, 2009, how angry were you that Ghosts of Girlfriends Past got a forum here instead of Origins: Wolverine?
 
And on jumping ahead, if the reviews are below 15% approval, it's a shoe-in for something. For movies whose names everyone knows, if they get below 30% approval, it's usually a shoe-in for something, and if it gets a forum here, that 30% jumps to about 50%. Which is why I'm hoping On Stranger Tides won't get a forum here under current circumstances.

First of all, as much as I would like to cosider them separate series, the truth of the matter is that they are prequels, and they are part of the chronological events of the overall series, unlike reboots like Nolan's Batman movies or the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Secondly, based on the order that they were filmed and released, they are the fourth installments of the series. And finally ... they just plan sucked!]]> Sat, 14 May 2011 16:53:50 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41689#41689 PIRATES of the CAROB-BEAN #4 : YO, HO...HEAVE HO??!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41686#41686 Author: Vits

Plus, there's the ever haunting "curse of the fourth installment of the movie series", usually resulting with the worst installment of the series, ie. "Batman & Robin", "Star Wars: Phantom Menace", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", "Indiana Jones 4", etc.

You're jumping a little ahead of us, GTAHater. I only said "On Stranger Tides" should get its own forum ... not that it should be a shoe-in for Worst Picture (although maybe Worst Sequel).]]> Sat, 14 May 2011 16:10:57 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41681#41681 PIRATES of the CAROB-BEAN #4 : YO, HO...HEAVE HO??!?!? http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41680#41680 Author: GTAHater767

That's fine until it gets nominated without deserving it simply because the voters knew its name. Drive Angry 3D was one thing. Less than half as many people knew about it. I still remember At World's End, Book of Secrets, and Transformers 1 (I only dislike Revenge of the Fallen). There were many worse movies released in 2007 that deserved nominations, including Alvin & the Chipmunks, Georgia Rule, Delta Farce, Resident Evil: Extinction, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, The Comebacks, and even Saw IV. For all I know, On Stranger Tides, Scream 4, and Drive Angry 3D could rob a deserving movie like Just Go With It or Red Riding Hood of a nomination, and it wouldn't reflect the worst the film industry had to offer this year.]]> Sat, 14 May 2011 15:51:42 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4266&PID=41680#41680
