The absolute worst movies of 2003 included Gigli, Daredevil, and From Justin to Kelly.
2003 was a good year to be a cinephile, demonstrated alone by the fact that the year's biggest and best release was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. That third part of an iconic trilogy was a huge critical and box office success, and also happened to win 11 Oscars, including Best Picture. It wasn't alone, however, given that 2003 also saw the release of Oldboy, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Finding Nemo, Mystic River, and Lost in Translation, to name just a few.
9 'From Justin to Kelly' It's hard to imagine a movie being more aggressively early-2000s than From Justin to Kelly, as it's inextricably linked with the first season of American Idol and is appropriately garish and ridiculous. It stars Kelly Clarkson as Kelly Taylor, and Justin Guarini as Justin Bell.
But there were some missteps along the way for the genre, and not all superhero movies of this era were good. Take 2003's Daredevil, for example, another Ben Affleck film from this year that's not looked upon favorably. It let down its titular blind vigilante/lawyer protagonist, and represents the superhero genre at its worst... but thankfully, the character has since had a more faithful live-action adaptation, at least.
Released 13 years later, Beyond Re-Animator, on the other hand, is a weirdly boring mess. You'd expect a movie about the dead coming back to life within a prison setting would provide for some goofy, gory fun, but it's just so poorly made and lifeless that there's little to latch onto here. Horror fans are best off pretending it doesn't exist and sticking to the first two movies.
4 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd' Spoofing the title of an iconic romantic comedy in its own title, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd in no way comes close to touching either that 1989 classic or the original Dumb and Dumber from 1994. As its name implies, this movie's a prequel, and centers on the two main characters from the first movie meeting each other in high school.Even for a bottom-of-the-barrel, purposefully dumb comedy , this is just too much.
2 'Gigli' Certainly not ranking among the greatest Al Pacino movies of all time, Gigli is a film that attracted several other high-profile actors to it. The cast is surprisingly great, with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez being the stars, and the supporting cast, beyond Pacino, also including Christopher Walken.
