the matrix reloaded - worst films of 2003

It’s time to stuff the turkeys.

daredevil
Our intrepid blind hero falls for superhero beauty. But, oh no! She’s killed. Daredevil’s out for revenge now. Kerpow! The Kingpin’s dead. Hooray! The credits roll and with them dies all hope of Marvel’s darkest, most psychological character being rendered in more than one dimension.

irreversible
I’m all for pushing the boundaries of cinema, but where did this film actually push them? Glorying in the moments of people’s ruin? Championing style over content? Removing character development? It’s like eating polystyrene - there’s no goodness in it and it’ll make you feel ill.

kill bill: volume one
Was anything released this year that was worse than über-nerd Tarantino’s cut-and-paste gorefest? Rest assured, Volume 2 will be with you soon (20 Feb). Then there’ll be the DVDs, followed by the Collectors’ Box Set and the Director’s Cut at yearly intervals. And don’t forget the OST...

the league of extraordinary gentlemen
Sean Connery not only stars in this big-budget bollocks, he also produced it. There’s no character development, the acting’s awful and the story is further beyond the realms of belief than a Tony Blair speech on weapons of mass destruction. Which are exactly what should be used on this rubbish.

the matrix
Come on, admit it. In your heart of hearts you always suspected that it was going to be shit. Yep, Matrix 2 and 3 are proof (if any were needed) that black leather, reflective glasses and egomaniacal wish fulfilment had a shelf life.
