Most Formulaic Movie:
Gods of Egypt: This is the movie so formulaic you thought it was Exodus: Gods and Kings with Christian Bale.
Independence Day: Resurgence: Tried and true. Aliens are attacking, yet again, an eclectic group of people need to save the day. (WINNER!)
Live by Night: The supposed epic gangster film about how hard it is to be a gangster in the day and age the person we’re watching is being a gangster.
London has Fallen: The Die Hard formula has broadened so much that Americans are saving not just hostages in a building but an entire city in another country.
Mother’s Day: The one kind of movie that really must stop. You know they’re grasping at straws when you see twenty of your favorite stars in one movie.
Most Ridiculous Concept:
Batman vs. Superman: Dawn for Justice: With a subtitle like dawn of justice we already know they’ll be working together soon. It’s also a little stupid to base an entire movie on the concept that could be cleared up with a five minute conversation. You know, instead of destroying half the city.
Hardcore Henry: Let’s make a movie look like a video game. WTF?
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates: The entire movie is right there in the title. They find dates on craigslist but their dates are surprisingly party girls instead of fine upstanding women.
Nine Lives: This is a doozy. It’s the body switching formula but this time somebody switches with a cat called Mr. Fuzzypants. (WINNER!)
The Boss: Somehow a disgraced CEO gets out of jail for insider trading and manages to convince a former employee to put her up while she builds a new brownie empire.
