Biker Boyz
Jungle Book 2
Kangaroo jack
National Security - (Martin Lawrence film - enough said!)
Gigli - outstandingly bad
Stuck on you (not out for another 10 days - but it is the worst Farrelly brothers movie yet - see review)
Bad Boys 2 (see review)
House of 1000 corpses

and possibly the most shite of them all:

Not posted reviews for all of these as I couln't be arsed to waste my time.

That dross from Eminem. Great music, but shite acting. '28 days' was pretty shite too.

Good Call lovemunkey187....The Matrix (Both 2 & 3) what the fuck was all that about ???
Maybe I'm missing something but after seeing both I left the cinema totally bewildered.
Don't believe the hype.

Cheers CC.

Return of the King is a bad film?
You must be feeling very unhappy about something Lovemonkey187. Surely that's one of the most rousing, imaginative, inspiring epic adventure films ever made?

I was really disappointed by it.
I really liked the first two, but the third one was just abit of an anticlimax. The problems that I had with it were that the CGI wasn't as smooth as the others, especially noticable when you saw the Hobbits and Gimli stood next to the humans. I thought that the colours of the humans was slightly richer or more watery in comparrison. No Saruman, how they could cut Christopher Lee out of the film beggars belief.

Although the battle for Gondor is spectacular, I will give you that and if Andy Serkis (Smeagol/Gollum) doesn't get some sort of Oscar/Bafta or other statue for best supporting actor there is no justice.

The Matrix sequels I was really looking forward to from the day I saw the first one on it's opening day at the cinema, the second one I knew would just be a bridge to the big finale so I could handle most of it. The quasi-religous overtures was unnecesary. The only thing that saved the third one from being truly unwatchable was the dock battle in Zion but that was marred by that Fricking annoying kid that just happenend to be there and do the right thing. How much of a cliche?.

And the best fight scene of the series (between Neo and Seraph in #2) was overshadowed by the cgi fest of the Neo and battalions of Agent Smiths.

Bad Boys 2 another film I was looking forward to was ruined by an ending that seemed to be tacked on from another film, also not enough time was given to former Black Flag front man Henry Rollins.


Hope that clarifies things alittle.

I've got to disagree with you bimm, Kill Bill was one of the few films I actually went to see more than once at the cinema. The others being Daredevil and Hulk.

Another one that I forgot to mention in my shitlist of '03 was League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, if I was either Alan Moore or Kevin O'Neill I would want my name removing from conjunction with this abomination.
