The Hulk wasn't that bad. In my opinion, they hyped the movie up too much, and it didn't live up to it. Although i wouldn't recommend anybody going to see a 2 and a half long movie at a 10:30 showing. You will fall sleep.

I'd buy S.W.A.T, but i wouldn't watch it a whole lot. I enjoyed the action scenes, but the ending was the worst.

As a big horror fan, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Cabin Fever, Freddy vs Jason, and the alternate ending version of 28 days later as ranking amongst the films I enjoyed most this year...

Other than that?

Finding Nemo
Road to Perdition
X2
T3 (just for the elegant ending that didn't sell out to save the world)
Seabiscuit

I'm sure I will remember others later...

So far this year, Pirates of the Caribbean has been the best.
But I'm hoping the best movie of the year starts on Dec 18th [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Let me add Once Upon a Time in Mexico in the good column. Although i hate the fact that both of my girls die in the movie.

olbs: that's the first bad word I've heard on Kill Bill. What didn't you like?

on Dreamcatcher: has Stephen King just lost it or what? I haven't been reading his books, but when was the last good movie with his name on it?

Default RE: Best/Disappointing films of 2003

from what i heard UL, dreamcatcher wasn't too true to the book, one of the main reasons it was bad.

movies i liked so far: pirates of the caribbean (best movie of the year so far), x2, school of rock, 25th hour (was that this year?), american wedding (funnier than i expected), more that i can't think of

movies i didn't like: hulk (i was actually lukewarm on it... but i was disappointed), daredevil, some more i guess that i can't think of. there aren't too many movies i just don't like. mainly cause i don't watch that many movies, i guess.

WRONG TURN AS A BEST MOVIE????? Oh.....ok, that would digress from near EVERY critic, lol. That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen! And I like Elisha Duzku, not for her acting of course [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

american splendor was one that got some good reviews here. i haven't seen it yet, but's definitely an indie, from what I understand.

You enjoyed the alternates on 28 days later? I thought they were okay but I think I may have had my hopes set to high. I loved Road to Perdition. That is one of my favorite films in recent years. I missed it when it came out in theatres but it was definately a great movie.

I recommend people go see Paid in Full. Great indie movie. It's a drug related film but what really made this film for me was finding out it was based on the lives of AZ, Rich, and Alpo.
