Slashdot Mirror


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?"

    The Hulk. Need I say more? I wanted to throw something heavy at the screen during most of the showing.

      Seriously. This movie was horrible, and long. Near the end of the film, one of the characters said "I'm sorry" and someone in the theater shouted back, "Not as sorry as this movie!"

      Are you kidding, that movie was pure Shakespeare. The entire father son conflict was like right out of an unwritten play. The sceen near the end where bruce and his father were having dialog under the spotlight - it was such an homage to the theatre.

      This was one of the best movies of its kind that I have seen since Akira Kurasawa's "Ran".

    With regard to these movies, Slashdot doesn't have opinions. It has geekloads of rock-solid, indisputable facts. Though these facts might vary and occasionally even conflict, they are all absolutely true, from a certain point of view.

      Battlefield Earth. It was so bad it keeps smearing itself into successive years. That kind of momentum of awful takes a long time to stop!

  6. Terminator 3 - ick by UnderScan · · Score: 5, Funny

    Kludge of a story that was hacked together to sell tickets. Inclusion of a new stronger, faster, & harder to kill Terminator that also oozes with sexual energy & is not scary or intimidating. Film score that didn't use the Terminator2 theme to inspire awe & fear.

    T2: "Hasta la vista, baby!"
    T3: "Talk to the hand."

    eww. I feel dirty just thinking about that film.

    didn't have anything new to offer viewers except a nine hour fantasy-boy masturbation session.

    And what's wrong with that?

    What do you mean his acting "started to get cheesy?" Have you SEEN the Bill and Ted movies?

    Good Lord man, the reason they got away with Keanu Reeves in the first movie is because all he really had to do in that one was act confused the whole time. They ran into trouble when they actually tried to get him to act in the second and third films.

    Doubtless many of you are wondering right now, Should I click on the parent's link or not? Is it worth my while using up my precious computing resources to spawn a browser window? He says it's a "gem". But maybe it's just Gigli again. Why couldn't he have just said the name of the flick, dammit!? Click or don't click? What a dilemma!!

    That's it, I'm fed up with this air-of-mystery shit! What say you we all band together and boycott clicking on needlessly obscure url descriptors like "this gem"? We few, we proud, we slashdotters, we can resist the lure of enigmatic links!

    Okay, I couldn't resist...it was "Air Bud Spikes Back."

    Sigh, what a downer. Damn you cjsnell. Damn you and your low slashdot number to hell! I'm so depressed, I'll think I'll go watch Chasing Papi (See? How hard was that?) . I like my bad movies with a little eye candy.

    They shoved a WiFi card up his ass before flushing him in the first movie. It was a deleted scene, but you can see it on the upcoming Matrix Trilogy DVD.
