If a movie is a box office flop, it makes it Razzie-worthy. If it's a hit, it doesn't matter. And IMDB isn't voted by critics.

I don't know about Steiger, but I don't remember the last time Voight made a good movie. As long as Neeson keep making movies like THE GREY in between the other 3 he made this year, he's alright.

What's more, despite what anyone else said, it appears Taken 3 has been announced.

Oh definitely. The categories I want to see it nominated the most for are Worst Supporting Actress for Maggie Grace (also for Lockout and Breaking Wind Part 2) and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel.

Do you think this should be nominated for any existing categories?

Well, I finally got around to seeing this and it gave me a great idea for a new Razzie category (if we don't go with Worst Propoganda Film): Worst Vomit-Inducing Use Of Shaky-Cam!! We could also include Safe House, Chernobyl Diaries, Project X, The Hunger Games, Paranormal Activity 4, Wrath Of The Titans, Battleship, and The Devil Inside. According to some reviews, Alex Cross uses shaky-cam, so maybe we could include that one too.  
 
As for the rest of the movie, I was bored silly. Grade: D+

Movies With Mitch gave it a 1/5. And Jeff Beck gave it a 2/4.

R.T. (15-20%): "It's largely bereft of the kinetic thrills (and surprises) that made the original a hit".

Roger Ebert gave it a 3/4.

What do those other actors have to do with it? Again, I'm talking based on the Razzies history: if an actor appears in a bunch of bad movies in the same year but didn't give a particularly bad performance, then he's listed as Worst Actor for all the titles. Now, if his performance in this movie ends up being terrible, then he'll probably be listed like you say.

I doubt it. I think Liam will end up being Worst Supporting Actor for Battleship and Wrath of the TItans, and Worst Actor for Taken 2. It just seems like that would make more sense. Sam Worthing is already considered Worst actor for Wrath, and Taylor Kitsch for Battleship.

HeadRAZZ, what do you think?

As for Liam, should he be Worst Actor for this? Or do you think it is easier to lump him in along with Battleship and Wrath of the Titans as Supporting Actor? (I'm asking Headrazz this.)
I'll answer, since he hasn't yet. Based on the Razzies history, he'll be listed for Worst Actor for all 3 movies. None of his performances were panned individually. In cases like that, Worst Actor[ress] predominates over Worst Supp. Actor[ress].
 


Elizabeth Hartman and Judith Barsi are much more talented and beautiful than Scarlett Johansson and Chloe Grace Moretz. Fact.
