The Best and Worst Movies of 2003?
rufey asks: "As 2003 comes to a close, I thought it would be interesting to ask Slashdot what they thought the best and worst movie of 2003 was, and why. At the beginning of the year there was excitement about parts 2 and 3 of The Matrix triology, X-Men 2, and of course, LOTR: Return of the King. In Slashdot's opinion, what did and didn't live up to the hype and expectations, and were there any surprises?"
Matrix Revolutions!
Matrix Revolutions!
Matrix Revolutions!
Matrix Revolutions!
Matrix Revolutions!
Oh, and Finding Nemo r0x0r3d.
Well, when compared to any of the ROTK filth, Gigli was an all-out smash hit!
Maybe it was the fact that I was watching a movie with countless losers in the audience. It made me feel like a dork myself.
Snoogins.
Seriously, D&D really is Satan's game. I fear my children will be attracted to this game in their weaker years, and then be drawn deeper and deeper into the bowels of El Diablo.

Worst movie: The Reagans. And no, this ain't flamebait. Think of it this way: look at who made & starred in the movie. Now, what if Sean Hannity was in charge of a biography movie on The Clintons? Fair's fair, 'tis simple. Best movie: uh ... um ... I'll go with "I'm an underemployed recent computer science graduate and can't afford movies, you insensitive clod!" Yeah, that works ...

I don't know about you but I enjoyed it a ton more then LOTR. I would much rather see non CG fight scenes, without a bunch of guys crying and hugging. No plot? Were you stoned? It might not be ground breaking plot, but it was mainly an action film. The blood spraying was abit much but it made me giggle. Cmon a japanese schoolgirl with a ball and chain? What is better then that?
Coppola deserves the nod for Screenplay, but not for Direction. The direction was a near disaster, and if not for the excellent script and Bill Murray's outstanding acting, the movie would have fallen flat. Murray deserves not only the nod, but the Oscar for best Actor. Coppola admittedly added many (too many?) personal touches to the movie, and that may be what made the direction seem so washed out.

We are not discussing individual special effects dude. Matrix 1 was a mind thing: freedom is in your mind, you can do everything if you believe you can do it, society doesn't let you be free, etc. Revolutions and reloaded where stupid battles with aliens and robots. Absolutely irrelevant.
Some standard scenes from AlienII, some from Lotr, some special effects and you've got a recipie to make a sequel. Neo doesn't say more than 10 lines in Reloaded.
You think Keanu Reeves is sooo deep you need to form a community to dissect the intracacies of the message his acting in conveying????
You take a cheeseball sci-fi film that seriously???
Er... I would lay off the whacky tobacky if I were you.
Master and Commander was the biggest load of shit I have seen all year. Although it did do a fiarly goo job of representing what life was like on a ship in that era, it sucked ass as a 18th century naval flick. It would have been better as a documentary on the History channel.
