What a great and terrible year for movies.

Movies were great in 2017, but in a very real sense they were also terrible. We will only reach movie nirvana when the Razzies no longer award the worst movies, pairings, and actors in a given year. 2017's biggest culprits were Fifty Shades Darker and Transformers: The Last Knight – the latter of which earned Mark Wahlberg one of two Worst Actor nominations along with Daddy's Home 2.

Apart from the biggest offenders, the Razzies showed little mercy for reboots like Baywatch and The Mummy, and for the ongoing shenanigans of Tyler Perry and Johnny Depp in roles they've played for over a decade. The formerly Oscar-buzzy mother! earned Worst Actress and Worst Director nominations for Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky, respectively.
