Fifty Shades fetched Worst Screen Combo, Worst Actor (Jamie Dornan) and Worst Actress (Dakota Johnson) and Worst Screenplay; Fantastic Four added Worst Director (Josh Trank) and Worst Remake, Rip-Off.

On the plus side, Sylvester Stallone received the Razzie Redeemer Award for moving from all-time Razzie champ to serious conster at the Oscars® this year. For a complete list of Razzie Award winners, follow the jump.

Then came the casting – and what a furor that caused! Now, we finally get our first look at Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Benjamin Grimm (Jamie Bell), Susan Storm (Kate Mara) and her brother, Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) – and see if all that noise was over nothing.
